The case of smallpox in the Cannon

DR.. Burroughs diagnosed the case as one

AFFIRlIS DECISION.
Supreme Court Holds There Is No
Injunction Against Saloon
Property.
.Affirms Decision Of Judge CasWell
Building on First Avenue
Involved.

Another supreme court decision has
been handed down from this district, as
noticed in the dispatches from Des
Moines Saturday. The case is styled
State of Iowa VS.. Bowman, and the de-
icisicn of the lower court is affirmed. On.
the face Of the decision it would appear
that the decision is against Mr.. Bow
man, but in reality 1T is in favor OF
Messrs Binford & Smelling and Kirby
q Howe, who own the building on
North First avenue in which Mr..
George A. Bowman formerly conducted
q saloon. Injunction proceedings We're
brought against Mr.. Bowman and the
property, and Mr.. Bowman was beaten,
an injunction issuing. Against the
property, however, no injunction was
secured. Mr.. Bowman appealed but
afterwards disposed Of his saloons and
a year or SO ago abandoned the appeal.
Hon j. L. Carney, then county attor-
3ney, appealed for the state on the rul-
ing of the lower court regarding not
granting an Injunction against the
property, and 1t is this decision of Judge
ICaswell that Is affirmed.
In the case the supreme court says
that the testimony shows that the!
board OF supervisors had not canvassed
the petition. This would seem that the!
court has reaffirmed its recent decision
in the famous West vs. Ill case. from
Polk county
ANOTHER DECISION.
Another supreme court decision, from
Fayette county, published in today's
dispatches. is of considerable interest
locally. The case is one which con-
Germs the withdrawal OF names from
consent petitions. This is the Identical
point raised here in the recent canvass
made by the board Of supervisors, in
which forty5nine persons requested
that their names be withdrawn. Judge
Burnham, it will be remembered did
not rule on this point. as he said tina.
1t would not affect the petition one way
or another, there still being twenty
three names in excess OF what was abb
solutely required. The judge stated,
practically. that II he We're to rule he
would declare that the names could be
withdrawn. This would have been in
exact accordance with the supreme
courts ruling. which is to the effect
THAT IL those who wish to withdraw
file their requests with the board of
supervisors prior to the canvass they
| may be withdrawn.

a brief statement Of the history OF
the Haverhill Gas Light Company
will enlighten the reader and explain.
why the gas security company paid
5000 for a plant capitalized at $751;.
900. The Haverhill Gas Light Company
was organized In 1853 with a capital of
$4,000, which was Increased In 1858 to
$780, 900 and in 1871 to $4,000. That is
all that has ever been paid In in any
form to the Haverhill Gas Light Com.
pany. In 1883 the books Of the COM.
missioners OF corporations placed the
assets at $4,000: in the succeeding
twelve years the company's assets
reached the sum Of $4O1, 900: during the
twelve years the company had paid
out 1873 per cent in dividends, or an
average Of "a per cent annually: the
company, in addition to dividends di-
vided, obtained from the people who
consumed the gas q free SIT ce s*3.a.n90
in twelve years. All extensions, inn
provements and repairs We're made
from the earnings Of the company on
the rates charged for gas. A $4,000
plant had grown to- a $401, 900 one
without a dollar being invested by the
lstockhold just after the purchase
was made Mayor John G. Chase pre-
lssented a petition and the commissions
lsers granted a hearing on the case. Eyi-
lsdence was presented that the Haver-
hill Gas Light Company could manu-
facture and distribute gas at a fair
lproflt for as cents per 1000 feet. The
case was bitterly contested. The
board finally fixed the price at so cents
per 1000. This establishes the fact
THAT gas can be manufactured and dls-
jtributed much cheaper than the pre-
waiting price. Since then numerous
other cities have started a movement
4 in that direction. Boston has applied
Ito the legislature for action toward 30
scent gas. Lowell and Lawrence are
labout to do the same Why should not

fully demonstrated that gas or electric

what the consumers are now paying
i and at the same time afford good
profit to the city, sufficient in a few
years to pay for the entire plant. is II
4 not poor policy to continue as at pres
ent? 1t may not be necessary to bur
den ourselves with additional taxes al

THAT will enable the consumer to ge
