Mgr. Alexander reported that he had spent a greater part of two
days in Minneapolis giving depositions for the Curtiss - Wright
lawsuit which is pending. Trial date should come in late fall
of 1982.
Mgr. Alexander reported on the following items:
1. That Texgas of Hutchinson would install propane equipment
on three trucks for a period of 90 days in order to allow
the Utilities to check performance and economy. If at the
end of 90 days the equipment was not desired, there would
be no charge for the installation, use and removal. Normal
charges for this setup runs about $1,000.00 per unit.

to use propane gas for a period of 90 days at which time
the program would be evaluated. Motion was carried.
