Common Councilman II. II. Paine
last nights meeting of the lower
branch of councils by declaring that
the attorney for the Consumers Gas
company had told him CPaine) that
the councilmen would be fixed so that
action on the gas franchise ordinance
could be reconsidered.
Mr.. Paine got on his feet after a
motion to reconsider action on the gas
ordinance. which measure was defeat
ed at the last meeting, had been
passed and after motion to go into
committee of the whole for the pur-
pose of amendment had been over
whelmingly defeated by a vote of 90
to Q.
I'D like to know what we're COM
ing to, Mr.. Chairman?' said the gem
tleman from the Ninth. "The attor-
ney representing the interests of the
promoters of this company walked
down the street with me the other day
and told me he'd have enough council
men fixed to have action reconsidered
tonight. Apparently he's succeeded
in doing it. This ordinance in its
present form is unfair. no, that's too
mild word---it's the most outrageous
ordinance which anybody ever at
tempted to pass through this council"
WHY HE OPPOSED 1T.
He made a lengthy argument op-
posing the measure, contending that
there was absolutely nothing in it
which insured cheaper gas and moth
ing in it which gave the citizens of
the city the assurance that they would
be able to obtain the new company'S
gas even if it was sold at a cheaper
rate. There was no tax provision in
it, either. he said.
"There's nothing in it. at ALL" Mr..
Paine continued, land apparently you
propose not to let us even present
amendments. The attorney was right
when he said that we wouldn't get
even chance to offer anything"
J. f. Evans. one of the converts to
the new gas company's franchise, said
that Mr.. Paine's remarks we're alto
gether too broad and desired the gen.
tlemen present to understand that he
hadn't been approached by any of the
company's agents. He had had a
change of heart because of his constit
the new company because of their de-
sire to have competition. 1t was a
mistake for Mr.. Paine to make asser-
tions without proof.
Mr.. Keller declared that the ordin-
ance was worth absolutely nothing un-
less council made changes.
II say to you, gentlemen said he,
"that any set of men who come in
here asking for privilege such as
this one without agreeing to do a sim
gle thing should be treated with very
little consideration and 1 say that the
councilmen who will vote to give them
this franchise are not doing their
duty"
The ordinance was passed by the
following vote:

At the of the entire world 1t will benefit the
United States which is dig it, than other
country in the world because the United states is the
largest country near the location of the proposed
canal.
And by continuing the reasoning, while the
canal will benefit the entire United States the section
which will be most benefited will be that in closest
proximity to the canal, that is, the Gulf ports of
which Houston, by the Buffalo bayou ship channel,
is to be made one.
The canal will bring about enormous increase
in trade not only with the East. with China, Japan
and India, but with the South American countries of
the west coast with Ecuador, Peru and Chile, the
latter of which is one OF tho most advanced of the
South American States. Then too our own Pacific
coast country will send MS grain and fruits via the
canal and win take goods in return. The cotton
manufactures on the South, which have made such
marvellous advancement without the canal, with the
canal will be stimulated to stI greater development
Indeed, all the industries of the South will be
mously benefited.
1t is said that the canal first thought Of far
back the Sixteenth century, when America had not
long been discovered The construction will be the
realization of dream that is centuries old. 1t Is just
well that in the economy of Providence the con

will follow like fairy tale come true.
