GAS COMPANIES HEARD
ANOTHER MEETING WILL BE HELD
NEXT WEDNESDAY, NIGHT.
The Council committee Holds an
to Speeches-Works Board Affairs.

The on contracts and fran
chises, which is wrestling with the gas ordi-
nance, held a meeting last night which was
open to the public, and after listening for
nearly two hours to speeches delivered by
men connected with the gas companies ad-
journed to meet again next Wednesday
evening, when the members of the commit
tee will be given another course Of instruc-
ton. During the meeting last night after
John P. Frenzel, speaking for the Consum-
ers' Gas Trust Company, had made several
statements concerning the absurdity of the
new ordinance and asserting that no man
acquainted with the gas situation had a
hand in preparing 1t City Attorney Kern
asked him what was the lowest pressure
necessary for a fire in cooking and heating
stoves. Mr.. Frenzel answered that the
average pressure was sometimes as low as
half an ounce, but that to Judge the amount
of gas necessary to furnish fuel for a house
1t is necessary to use meters.
Mr.. Kern stated that the object of the
new ordinance was to protect the people
against paying for gas they did not get.
Mr.. Frenzel stated that the Consumers
Company never did run as high as a four
ounce pressure, which the present ordi-
nance requires.
other members or the consumers COM
pany were present, among them being
Bemen Lyman, A. A, Barnes, Judge Lamb,
Henry Schnull, H. H. Hanna, Henry Co.
burn and w. H. Shackleton. The Indianap-
oils Gas Company was represented by JOIN
X. Pearson. Judge Lamb made the first
speech, in which he said the Consumers
Company was organized TO give TO the peo-
pie of Indianapolis natural gas at just the
cost of bringing it into the city. He said
that the plant had been improved. but that
other companies were in the gas field and
other cities were paying five times as much
for gas as indianapolis does. For this rea-
son, he said. it is hard for the Consumers
Company to get the gas, as 1t would have
to lose money in purchasing new lands, lay
ing new mains and building new pumping
stations. Mr.. FRENCH made the same asser-
tions, and he was followed by Mr.. Hanna.
Mr.. Pearson stated that he wanted to have
his maps at hand when he made his talk,
but he invited the members of the commit
tee to go over the gas field and investigate
the gas question. The representatives Of
the Consumers Company offered the same
invitation. rr-

Against Sunday Sales of Beer

Mr.. M. l. Weller called Upon the District
Commissioners Saturday for the purpose of
urging them to recommend such action by
congress as will prevent the sale of beer
by Kegs on Sunday. He invited the Com
mlssloners attention to the fact that at
present the laws regulating the sale of in
toXlcaung liquors fail to prevent this evil,
and he stated that recent Sunday one
brewery sold over 200 kegs of beer Upon the
suggestion that a joint resolution could be
passed at this session imposing a heavy
penalty for the sale and delivery of beer
by makers on the first day of the week.
Commissioner Ross advised Mr.. Weller to
confer with the attorney for the District
for the purpose of drafting such meas
ure, assuring him that the Commissioners
will do everything in their power to secure
Its speedy enactment into law. 1t is prob
able that the resolution will be introduced
early this week.
