CHICAGO ECONOMIC FUEL GAS
COMPANY.--An ordinance passed
July 81, 1891, conveying franchise for
tlfty years for the supply OF both man
ufactured and natural gas, upon the
same general provisions and require
ments governing the other companies,
especially the provision OF Section ~,
which provides that In case the sa'd
company should Mt any time IN any
manner enter into q combination d.
rectly or indirectly with any other gas
company. Its ordinance anu privileges
should become null and void ana all
rights revert to the city without rerer-
cnce to any court or legal appeal. Inc
company agreed to charge for illumi'
mating gas $l.1O per 1000 cubic feet.
with 10 cents reduction per 900 feet
for prompt payment. and no cents per
600 for natural and fuel gas. with
10 cents reduction for prompt payment;
agreeing and contracting also to pay
the city 3 per cent. on gross receipts
from Illuminating gas and per cent.
on gross receipts from sale OF natural
or manufactured fuel gas, and to FUR
nsh gas to the city for $3.50 per street
lamp post per year.
on THE 29TH DAY OF FEBRU-
AIRY. 1892, a preamble and resolution
was passed by the City Council, re-
pealing the above Chicago Economic
Fuel Gas Company ordinance, ana
declaring all pipes and connections III
the streets of the city to be city proper
~. In accordance with the provisions
OF the ordinance regarding forfeiture,
and upon the ground that a majority or
the stock of said company had passed
into the hands of the Gas Trust
THE OGDEN. 1t is now currently
reported, and there are grounds for be-
lief, that the Ogden Gas Company mas
entered upon Il contract with the Has
Trust agreeing not to extend Its plant
or pipes any further for period OF
three years.
ALL EVADE THE LAW. All of the
above companies and corporations
have evaded the plain letter and legal
| requirements of their franchises ana
by the terms of said franchises have
forfeited every right and privilege con-
tracted for with the city and conveyed
professionally by ordinance.
VIOLATE FRANCHISES. 1t is pro-
ylded in an ACT regulating the condl'
lions for the granting OF rights ana
privileges for lighting ard heating pur'
poses by cities, also passed by the late
4OTH ASSEMBLY, that no gas COM
pany In future shall be granted privi
leges of building or extension OF mains
and pipes, except they secure petitions
signed by owners of more than one
half the frontage Of each mile and frac-
ton of a mile of any street or alley,
which requirement Is designed to pro-
tect the merge companies in their ille-
gal evasion OF contract obligations,
and prevents any competition, through
the organization and operation of new
companies, now and forever In the fu-
ture, and said ACT Is directly In con-
