The Council of the City of Faribault met in special meeting on Friday. Marc~
7th, 1947, at 1:00 o'clock p.m. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Walsh.
On roll eall those present were CounciLman Buendorf, StorCh and Mayor Walsh, alsQ
the City Attorney and City Engineer were present. Councilman Behlke was absent on
account illness and Councilman Me Car thy was also absent. Mayor Walsh stated that
the meeting was called to discuss a bill proposing a tax on natural gas. The matter i
'I
was discussed with Mr. Stuart Wilson of the Northern States Power Company and it
~
~
was brought out that such a tax would result in an increase in natural gas rates
from 11% to 33%.
On motion of Councilman Buendorf, seconded by Councilman Storch, Resolution No~
Al939 was adopted by unanimous vote.
RESOLUTION NO. Al939.
Relative to Proposed Tax on Natural Gas.
WHEREAS, under the provisions of (H.F. 399) )S.F. 99) it is proposed to levy a
tax of seven cents per one thousand cubic feet of natural gas entering the State of
" MinneSOJ ta, and
WHEREAS, the imposition of such a tax will create a hardship on the users of
natural gas in the City of Faribault and will increase the costs of fUel to local
consumers in approximately the following percentages, Residences ll%, Commercial
20.5%, Industrial 33.3, and
WHEREAS, the Council realizes the need of the State and Municipalities for
i
I additional funds to be raised by means other than by heavier burden upon real estate
and are willing to assume an equitable proportion of the required levies, and
WHEREAS, an increase in costs of twenty and one-half per cent to commercial, anci
thirty-three and one-third per cent to industrial users, will force many of the con-
'. sumers to adopt other types of fuel and assume the added cost of conversion of b'1.r-
ners to such use, and
~
~
WHEREAS, an estimated loss of approximately twenty-five to thirty per cent of
total consumption by commercial and industrial users must be reflected in additional
costs to residences and small consumers in order that the supplier may amortize his
inves tment, and
WHEREAS, the use of cheaper fuels has enabled our local industries to compete
in national and world markets against discriminatory freight rates and uncertain and
rising fuel costs, and
WHEREAS, but a comparatively small number of communi ties are now supplied by
natural gas and would be assessed disproportionately and inequitably to the benefit
of other subdivisions of the State,
NOW, THEREFORE,
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FARIBAULT DO RESOLVE:-
t;
Th.at, while realizing the necessi ty of addi tional SJ urces of revenues to the
State is opposed to the provisions of (H.F. 399) (a.F. 99) on the f}rocunds that the
levy proposed would be discriminatory, inequitable and unjust in that it will im-
pose a tax upon a relatively small number for the benefit of the many and respective-
ly request your honorable body to report unfavorably upon the bill.
Passed March 7th, 1947.
