A PROTEST.

EDITOR REGISTER: AS citizens and
tax payers of the city of lola we de-
sire to file our protest against some of
the acts of the city administration
We are told by the city officers that
the treasury is so nearly bankrupt
that no assistance can be given
toward protecting our property from
fire. Yet every few weeks the city
enacts new and expensive ordinances
and employs attorneys all at its own
expense for the sole purpose of aiding
one gas company to ipjure another.
In addition to this the city is assum-
ing responsibility that in all prOba-
bility will result in its being compell-
ed to pay the injured company
several thousands of dollars. And
this responsibility is incurred not at
the demand Of the people. Not in an
attempt to vindieate any of the rights
of the city or to prevent it or any of
its citizens from being wrOnged. but
solely at the behest and for the benefit
of a private corporation Is that
right? Should the city government
constitute itself the champion and
attorney of one company as against
another made up of just as good
citizens and having at least equal
rights? And if it does dOthIs, should
it not at least require the company
which it assists to pay the actual
expenses incurred? And should not
this company be required also to put
up a bond to indemnify the city
against any judgment that might be
rendered against it on account of
injury done to the other company.
The city has been already put to a
great expense by the action of the
city government in enaeting illegal
ordinances passed solely for the bene-
flt of one gas company (Which ordi-
nanees have placed no restrictions
whatever as to prices for private use)
and in defending the suits that no.
body except this company had any
possible Interest in. Isn't it about
time to call a halt? Isn't it about
time for the city to quit trying to tear
down one company and build up an
other at the expense of the taxpayers?
