October 1897--The Peru City Council took off the gloves and went to battle against Dietrich Natural Gas. The Council passed an ordinance regulating gas costs. When Dietrich threatened to shut off the supply, the Council cooly informed Dietrich that if the supply were interrupted, Dietrich would have to dig up all their pipelines and the city contract would become void.
Nothing like a little government for the people, eh?
