F. B. Olson Appointed City Councilman-at-Large
Foster B. Olson, 111 S. First, was this morning appointed to the office city councilman-at-large by action of the council in its first meeting of it held at the city hall.
Olsen’s appointment followed the resignation Dec. 1 of Clyde
Heltzel for the post. He served in the office until 1956 when he did not file for re-election.
A proposal that the city establish an electricity rate for electric blast furnances was taken under study by the council when
Cliff Salisbury, operator of Tonkawa Foundry appeared before the group to inform them his company had laid plans for such an installation.
Following council discussion, City Manager Hal Hunt was instructed to investigate rates of like installations of neighboring cities. The board voted that transformer installation should be borne by the community.
According to Salisbury’s statements, the two new furnaces to be installed would require facilities for 340 kw demand and would operate with a maximum consumption of 280.
