What Does Exempt Mean, Anyway? Fund Forum Five years have passed since the imposition of new requirements for Exempt Reporting Advisers under the Dodd-Frank Act.
Forty years ago, gas shortage hit hard. Fred Norris remembers well the gas shortage of 1973. He was owner of Norris Brothers BP on Alamance Road in Burlington. It was a mess, Norris said, recalling peoples reactions to not being able to fill the tanks of their beloved Furys, Impalas, LTDs and other big rides.
From 1841, he converted his kitchen to consume piped gas, arguing that gas was cheaper overall because the supply could be turned off when the stove was not in use. A gas stove was shown at The Great Exhibition in London in 1851, but it was only in the 1880s that the technology became a commercial success in England. By that stage a large and reliable network for gas pipeline transport had spread over much of the country, making gas relatively cheap and efficient for domestic use.
