Little damage was reported in the immediate vicinity, but power lines and phone wires were blown down in several parts of the county and service of both power and phones was interupted a t var­ ious times during the day. The storm, according to the weather bureau, was the dying gasp of the hurricane which swept Florida and Louisiana during the latter part of last week. It, had moved in from the Car- ribean, took a heavy toll of life and property in the cities of Flor­ ida, then moved westward across the gulf striking next at New Orleans, and then turned; directly north passing out of existance over the Great Lakes during the early part of this week, as a new but lesser storm moved in over the southern states. 10 Years Ago From the Herald—Sept. 24, 1937 In line with all the other coun­ ties in Ohio Greene county’s sales tax receipts for 1937 were below 1936.

IMPORTANT NOTICE to All Who Are Considering Gas as Fuel for Space Heating AN EMERGENCY ORDER B Y T H E P U B L I C U T I L I T I E S C O M M I S S I O N O F O H I O N ote: We Suggest You Save This Copy o f the Gas Limitation O rder , Before THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF OHIO In Ihe Matter of the Investigation of ) the supply of natural gas within the } No. 13,618 Slate of Ohio. , ) EMERGENCY .ORDER This matter came on for consideration pursuant to the Commission Order of September 10, 1947, and alter the talcing of testimony, the receipt of exhibits and statements of representa­ tives of the natural gas companies in Ohio, and tho Commission's staff, was submitted to the Commission. WHEREUPON, the Commission, on the basis of the evidence presented^finds that: Due notice of the hearing of this matter was given by telegram to all natural gas com­ panies in Ohio known by the classifications ''A ", "B " and “C", and all such companies were present and afforded an opportunity to be heard fully; The unprecedented demand for gas and the inability of the utilities and their suppliers to provide facilities to make additional gas available to consumers in the State of Ohio has created an emergency affecting the health, safety and welfare of the people of the State of Ohio which will continue to prevail at least during the coining winter 1947-1948; Such emergency arises in part from the Inability of Ohio utilities having sources of supply outside the state o f Ohio to secure full performance of contracts to deliver gas during the coming winter season 1947-1948 from such, sources; . . . During Ihe winter season 1946-1947 not only were large industrial gas consumers curtailed much o f the'timc in accordance with this Commission's Administrative Order No. 46, but at frequent intarvals extensive curtailment of many other smaller commercial consumers became necessary and an peak days curtailment of domestic gas u$e had to be solicited and en­ forced by the distributing utilities in Ohio; During the winter 1946-1947, a comparatively mild winter, with substantially all industrial consumption curtailed, with resultant loss of ^employment, the domestic shortage reached the total of well over TOO million cubic feet per peak day with an average mean temperature never lower than 10 degrees. At one time over 47,000.domestic gas users in Ohio were en­ tirely without gas service; The major distributing utilities in Ohio have from time to time adopted Rules and Regula­ tions with the approval of this Commission calculated to- meet this emergency by imposing restrictions and curtailments upon the use of gas for space heating purposes. These Rules and Regulations were not uniform, and tho lack of uniformity has led in many instances to un­ certainties and contusion; - The major'natural gas companies have, during the period 1946-1947, expended large sums of money in an effort to improve their capacity to produce, receive, transmit and rld'-er natural gas to their consumers in Ohio. These programs eouid be classified generally as follows: . 0 ) An accelerated new drilling prdgram has practically taxed the maximum capacity of Ohio fields to produce. New areas far the*storage of natural gas under ground were developed and expanded. Sixty-seven (67) wells were drilled in existing storage areas to facilitate the ‘ speedy withdrawal of gas so stored. (2) New large diameter gas transmission lines have been installed and are in the process of completion, adding over 350 miles to the capacity of these companies, at a cost of over $25,000,000.00. Additional compressor facilities have been installed to the extent of the utmost capacity of all transmission facilities that could possibly be provided. / (3) One company has expended a quarter of miilion dollars in improving its water gas plant for bseon peak days. Four large propane-air plants having a productive capacity of 81 million cubic feet per dey for three to four peak days have been constructed in the state for use only in cases of extreme emergency at an operating cost vastly exceeding that of any other type' pf gas fuel. ' - (4) New and additional contracts have been negotiated and secured calling for the delivery of natural gas front all possible sources outside tjie State Of Ohio. Experience has indicated that commitments of this type are not p guarantee of a constant source of gas. The Commission further finds that: •_ Notwithstanding the restrictions heretofore put into effect by the majqr utilities with the approval of the Commission, and the efforts of such utilities as hereinbefore set fprtfi, and that further restrictions on the sale of natural -gas for space heating are necessary, and that Jt fiis essential that such restrictions be applicable universally to all gas distributing utilities dependent fn whole or in part upon supplies of gas from others, and that such restrictions shall be of uniform operation throughout the Slate- o f Ohio. The best estimates of the major companies; which estimates have been carefully scrutinized by Ihe Commission, show that curtailment during ihe winter 1947-1948 wilt be as severe as previously experienced; Certain gas producing and«dislribuling companies have sufficient supplies of gas to serve all their presemt and prospective demands; The Commission therefore finds that an emergency exists.of such nature that an emergency order should be entered with a provision that a full and public hearing on said order be had as saan as may be practicable. It is, therefore, ORDERED, That effective at 12:01 A.M., September 16, 1947, the following emergency Rules and Regulations -be and they are hereby adopted and prescribed for and made applicable to all utilities.or companies furnishing natural gas service in the State of Ohio, with Ihe excep­ tion hereinafter made. Alt availability elausek, terms and conditions in or appertaining to any and all schedules, rules or regulations, now* on file with Commission or that may hereafter during the continuance of this emergency bo filed with the Commission, applicable to the * furnishing of natural gas to consumers in Ohio, are, because of and for the period of such emergency, altered so as to contain therein the fallowing limitations and restrictions with respect to the supplying of service thereunder: RULE 1: No distributing utility shall supply or b e required to supply natural gas service to any consumer present or prospective In the Stale iof Ohio for equipment designed io furnish the source of space heating that replaces other fuels, or for additional space heating equip­ ment. RULE 2 ; No distributing utility shall supply, or be required to supply natural gas service to any consumer present or prospective in the Elate of Ohio, for new or additional equipment designed to provide gas space heating in any building, unless proof is furnished to the * utility that: (a) Gas fired heating equipment was registered with the utility and approval for the installation of such equipment was given by the utility prior to the effective date of this order, or (b) In the case of new construction a binding contract for such construction hod been entered into prior to the affective date of this order. Copies of such contracts must be furnished to and registered with the utility on or-before ten days ofler the ef­ fective date hereof and accompanied by an affidavit of the parlies to such contract as to the date of execution thereof. If the structure for which such service is desired is not substantially started (such as foundation completed or other evidence of bona fide intention to complete as rapidly as construction will permit) by December 16, 1947, gas service shall not thereafter be furnished for such equipment. RULE 3: Nothing herein contained shall prevent natural gas consumers In the State of Ohio, either through their utility or their appliance dealer, from replacing gas fired space healing equipment, provided that the capacity of the equipment to be installed does not exceed the capacity of the replaced equipment. y - RULE 4 : Whenever evidence available to the utility reasonably indicates that any consumer has connected gas fired space heating equipment which is not under these rules eligible for service from the utility's gas service lines, the utility shall forthwith in writing direct such consumer to disconnect such equipment and discontinue the use of such service, and if such consumer shall fail or refuse-to do so within ten (10) days, the utility shall discontinue the entire supply of natiy-af gas fa-such consumer and shall withhold such supply until such gas fired space heating equipment has been disconnected. To insure against reconnection of such space heating equipment the utility, before re-establishing service to such consumer, shall take such measures as may be deemed practicable and necessary to restrict ihe flow of gas to quantities required for other than space heating purposes. RULE 5: Each such distributing utility in the State of Ohio shall curtail natural gas service to industrial consumers when and to Ihe extent necessary to supply the demands during peak periods of its domestic consumers in accord with this Commission's Administrative Order No. 46, but shall restore such curtailed service when the emergency is past. RULE 6: No action taken by any utility in compliance with these rules shall be deemed to constitute unjust discrimination or a violation of any of the~provisions of The Public Utilities Commission Act, the General Orders of this Commission, or the schedules, rules, or.d regula­ tions of such utility. FiUlE 7- Failure of any gas distribu’ing utility to abide by apej support the provisions of ihis order shall subjeci such utility and its responsible officers, agents or.d gyiployccs )o (he penal- lie; provided by The Public Utilities Commission Act. This order shall not be applicable (a any. gas producing qqd distributing companies wbjeft have sufficient supplies of natural gas from their own well, or wells under their CppirpJ }p serve all their present and prospective demands- It is further .' * ORDERED, That this emergency order shall becomereffectlve af once on a temporary basis, and ihat a public hearing af'which all matters and things relevant thereto may be the subject of discussion, and at which any Interested party may present any material evidence, docu­ mentary or otherwise, which may lead to or show reason for a modification, change or can­ cellation of this order, shall be held in the office of the Commission, the Ohio Departments Building, a t ten o'clock a.m., September 29, 1947. It is further - „• ORDERED, That this order shall remain in full force and effect until April 1, 1948, unless the Commission shall upon the further hearing hereof find it necessary to modify, amend or suspend it. It is further • ; ORDERED, That a true copy of this emergency order be filed forthwith in the office of the Secretary of Stale pf the State of Ohio. " THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION .
