Fight with Gas Company.
For three years the Lincoln Gas COM
pany has not paid any city taxes. 1t has
avoided this by the simple expedient Of
appealing to the courts from the assess
ment OF the Board of Equalization. The
fact was that the company has been the
prey OF stock jobbers and now that the
bondholders have been compelled TO take
over the property they are trying 20 secure
a settlement with the city.
The council listened last night to a long
debate on the question, but by a tie vote
decided to refuse the offer OF the company
to agree on 5000 900 es a valuation. The
members who opposed acceptance assert
that the company was but recently sold for
$500. 900, and that It's property and fran
chises are easily worth that sum,
The company has a profitable lighting con-
tract with the city and as a result OF the
controversy an effort win be made to sub
init at the next election a proposition to
Issue $55 900 in bonds for the building OF
a municipal lighting plant.
