What a Fine Thing 1t Would Be

which they desire to correct.
In response to queries on the subject
yesterday the Supervisors expressed
themselves as follows:
Aigeltinger-I believe in fair rate.
Kalben--I am a 81 75 man, but would
compromise on 81 so.
Collins-Thats my business. You will
know where l stand when you hear my
vote next Monday.
Lackmann-If the rate is raised I would
stand for 81 80. We can't tell what may
happen.
Deasy-I don't think we can reconsider
The action of the board was undignified.
One would think it was child's play in
stead of millions being involved. Had
a rate of 81 80 been made it would un-
doubtedy stand. A 81 10 rate is not SEN
sible.
Phelps-I have given the matter no
thought.
Attr'dge-If a s. so rate is proposed as a
compromise I will vote for it. I want to
do what is right by all.
Holland-A 81 10 rate is too low. We
must do right by all.
Byington--I am opposed to 81 so rate.
I believe the rate should be cut 30 per
cent.
In the meantime all talk of in
functions and taking the matter
into court must be regarded as
Supervisors conclude to leave the rate at
81 10 some such action would undoubtedly
be taken by the gas company, but for the
present the directors of the corporation
have simply referred the question to their
CATION The work of the attorneys will
hardly be ready for several days at least,
and in the meantime the gas directors
say there is no occasion for haste. If the
action of the Supervisors is illegal it will
still be Illegal a week hence, and there
is plenty of time in which to institute
legal proceedings to prove that fact and
protect the interests of the company.
