NATURAL GAS CONTRACT

The Rector reported that he and Visitors Blanton and Fenwick, in accordance with the
instructions of the Board at its meeting on 7 October 1959, had called on the Governor with
respect to the contract with the Natural Gas Service Company of Fredericksburg and had secured
satisfactory action. In the meantime, however, certain difficulties had arisen with respect
to the provision of service by the Natural Gas Service Company. Because of these difficulties,
the Rector reported that he had asked the Chancellor of Mary Washington College to defer entering
into a contract until the situation had been stabilized
