There have been reports on the rise of <br /> gasoline prices in certain areas . ( CLERK ' S NOTE : The terrorist attacks by crashing <br /> commercial airliners into the World Trade Center Towers and Pentagon and in Pennsylvania <br /> had occurred the previous day on September 11 , 2001 ) . Should any inflated prices occur in <br /> our county, he wanted the public to be aware it is against the law and should be reported . <br /> He hoped the local press would cover this . <br /> Administrator Chandler confirmed it is a State law and if there are any indications or <br /> evidences of any price gouging, it can and should be reported . <br /> Nathan McCollum , Acting Director Emergency Services , encouraged anyone <br /> identifying price gouging to call his office and they will report it to the Attorney General ' s <br /> Office , <br /> NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN , <br /> September 12 , 2001 <br /> 38 <br /> 4 <br /> PQL° <br /> U <br /> s k <br />
