The committee on agriculture sub

associates for a gas franchise, which
was adopted:
This is practically the same bill
which was passed last session and
through an oversight was not signed by
the Governor. Your committee under
stands that at least two-thrds of the
capital will be put up by local men and
the remainder may be taken up by out
siders. The intention of those asking
for this franchise is to make this a local
concern as far as possible. This is not,
therefore, a foreign company as some
may infer from arguments advance by
those opposed to the granting of this
franchise.
ITO have plant as proposed by those
asking for this franchise established
in this city means the expenditure OF
large sum of money and the conse-
quent employment of great number
of workingmen.
Your committee believes that gas Is
very convenient article, both for heat
ing, cooking, etc. In fact, the uses to
which gas may be put are very numer-
Gus
'House Bill 105 is Identical with Sem
ate Bill 2S. Therefore your committee
recommends that House Bill los be
tabled and Senate Bill 23 passed.
