The amount of each net monthly bill computed at the above

amount equivalent to the proportionate part of any new tax, or in-
creased tax, or any other governmental imposition, rental, fee or
charge (except state, county, city and special district ad valorem
taxes and taxes on net income) levied, assessed or imposed subsequent
to January 1, 1966, upon or allocable to the Companyts distribution
operations, by any new or amended law, ordinance or contract. Each
gross monthly bill shall be adjusted proportionately. Company, at its
option, may forego the application of this adjustment; however, fail-
ure of Company to apply such adjustment shall not constitute a waiver
of Company's right from time to time, or at any time, to make such
adjustment, in whole or in part, in any subsequent current monthly
bill that may be applicable to such bill.
Net rate shall apply to all bills paid within ten days from
monthly billing date.
In addition to the aforesaid rates, Company shall have the
right to collect such reasonable charges as are necessary to conduct
its business and to carry out its reasonable rules and regulations
in effect.
The above rate is applicable to each residential and
commercial consumer per month or for any part of a month for which
gas is used at the same location.
SECTION 2. The rate set forth in Section 1 may be changed
and amended by either the Town or Company furnishing gas in the manner
provided by law. Service hereunder is subject to the orders of
regulatory bodies having jurisdiction, and to the Company's Rules and
Regulations currently on file in the Company's office.
SECTION 3. The fact that there is an imperative public need
for an ordinance fixing and determining the rate for gas and gas service
furnished to residential and commercial consumers creates an emergency
and the reading and passage of this ordinance at three separate meetings
is hereby suspended and this ordinance shall take effect and be in full
force from and after the date of its passage at a single meeting and
the approval thereof by the Mayor.
