ROUND ROBIN PETITION
Presented at U. U. Company's Meet
ing Last Night-South Park People
Getting Cold.

A Round Robin signed by score
or more of South Park hill residents
was presented to the Union Utility
company at its meeting last night,
asking for the substitution of q
three inch gas main for the one-ineh
main now in use. The smaller pipe
does not supply enough gas to keep
the houses warm. The trouble last
winter in this particular is well
remembered.
The names to the petition we're
signed in a circle, so that it was
impossible to tell who attached the
first signature.
The company refused to act favor
ably on the petition. A member of
the company said this morning
"They do need more gas over there,
but why should we go to extra ex-
pense and trouble for the people
who are fighting us at every step?
We have nothing to gain by putting
in another line People ought to
have known better than to build
houses on a one inch gas line

UNTIL THURSDAY
Gas and Water Consumers will
not have to Sign.
Courts Consideration Ties mp Proceed
ings for two Days at Least-Agents
are Presenting Contracts Courts
Aciien can only be Conjeetured.

AS stated in the NEW DOMINION
yesterday evening, Judge Masen has
reserved his decision until Thursday
in the application of several citizens
of Moreantown for an Injunction to
restrain the Union Utility company
from turning off the gas and water
at the homes of consumers who re-
fuse to sign the contract or applica-
ton that is being presented to the
consumer for signature This means
that no gas and water will be turned
off today. Judge Mason asked time
to consider the matter and of course
the company will take no action
while the injunction is pending.
Even if the court should refuse
the injunction consumers arc per
fectly safe in reserving their decls-
ions as to whether they will, or will
not sign, until Thursday. If the
injunction is granted, the signing
will be further DELAYED, perhaps per-
manently, but temporarily, certainly
If it is refused, consumers who want
gas and water will have to sign.
Agents of the company were very
busy yesterday senting the CON
tracts and practically all the people
have had a chance to act in the
matter.
Meanwhile many conjectures are
being made as to Judge Mason's
action in the the matter. There is
real " very little on which to bear
such eonjectures. Mr. Lazzelle, at.
torney for the plaintiffs, is satisfied
that the injunction will be granted.
He stated Ia New DOMINION man
that the court had said the only
question on which he had not fully
made up his mind was as to whether
the injunction sued for in the name
of part of the people would hold
good for the public gen rally. In
other words will each individual
have to sue for separate injunc.
tion2 Mr.. Lazzelle is satisfied that
Judge Mason will settle this ques
tion in the negative Mr.. S. F
Glasscock says the court indicated
it as his opinion that the gas con
tracts now in use are continuous
and the new ones can not be sub
stituted without the consent of both
parties.
On the other hand, Mr., Cox, attor
ney for the company safe in talking
about the case to him and Mr.. Lac
zelle, Judge Mason said IL thought
over this case until very late hour
Saturday night, and Ihave failed te
find anything unreasonable in the
contract. Can you show me any.
