"There's no change in the
work schedule, but it's a
hardship on everybody. "I
hope nobody thinks this is a
hoax. It is for real," he said.
Parks McBride, manager of
the Singer Company at 212 W.
Fourth, said he didn't think
his operation would be
affected much. "I have the
option of closing off portions
of the building and heating the
sales floor only," he said. <
Piedmont suggested in its.
letter that reduction could be
accomplished by reducing the
temperature in the building to
62 degrees, changing the daily
or weekly work schedule, and
using less hot water. * *
Piedmont stressed the point
that the 35% reduction was
"absolutely necessary" if it
was to continue service to
customers even with reduced
amounts. x \
