City Council tonight the ordinance pro-
viding for meters was passed over the veto
of Mayor Brouse by vote OF to 4. Coun-
cilmen voting for the meters were: Stidger,
Hockett, Dolman, Reiff. Tudor and Danner.
The four opponents were: Pickett, Maher,
Moore and Hansell.
The ordinance provides that the company

sumers and that the company may collect
q minimum rate of 81 a month from each
patron for the use of 1900 feet or less.
The company has 500 meters here and

the company has ceased to pipe gas for
heating purposes.
The ordinance was bitterly opposed by
Mayor Brouse and former Mayor Arm

galizing extortion. The public generally ia
vored the meter, as ii was clearly case
OF meter or no gas, and the citizens pre-
ferred an opportunity to use the gas if they
so desired. The company, since abandoning
Chicago, has plenty of gas, and Kokomo
