INJUNCTION REFUSED.
Court Will Not Restrain Mayor and
OiliCinIs Of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia. Nov. 30-The common
pleas court today refused to grant the
injunction asked for by number of
prominent citizens to restrain the may
or and other officials from leasing the
gas works to the United States Gas I'm
provcment company for thirty years.
In the lease which was recently passed
by councils and approved by the may
or, the company secures exclusive right
to supply gas to consumers and to
light the city streets, agreeing to spend
$l5,00O000 or more in repairs and i'm
provements and to reduce the cost Of
gas.
The protest made was against the
legality of the ordinance. but the court
holds that the manufacture and furn-
ishing of gas is not a municipal duty,
but power and that the question of
the propriety of the lease rests alone
with councils and not with the court.
Immediately after the court had re-
fused to grant the preliminary injunC-
tion restraining the United Gas I'M
pTovement company from leasing the
city gas works, Mayor Warwick signed
the lease, and the ordinance will there
fore become operative at midnight to-
night and the works pass under the
control of the United Gas Improve
ment company
William II. Tucker, secretary of the
board Of trade. and James c. Brooks,
president of the Southwark Foundry
company, were appointed appraisers to
assess the value of the gas works and
to report the amount of coal on hand.
