it seems to be more difficult this

has been practiced that expenses
cannot be curtailed without injury
to the service.

WILL DO NOTHING RASH.
U. U. Company will not Turn
of Gas and Water.
Appeal will he Taken aud Individual
Suit Brought-Lae Will be Eslab-
Iished Before Matter is Dropped.
Statement by Member of Company.

Since the application for an iujanc-
tion against the Union Utilit; compa-
ny has been turned down, much inter-
est has been manifest In the next step
10 the proceedings. One OF the plain
tiffs most vitality interested in The
matter said to the New DOMINION
man this morning:
THE courts decision was based
wholly on the opinion that the plain
tiffs could not be legally enjoined in the
suit. 1t decides nothing, except the
one point. An appeal will be taken
from this decision as soon as the pa
pers can be prepared, and a suit for
an Injunction will be brought by
single individual. The law in the
case will be settled before it is drop
pedn.
Will the gas and water be turned
of at the homes Of those who refuse
10 sign the contracts This is the all
important question to those who have
not signed, and do not care to. 1t
can not be answered positively by any
one, perhaps, except the members OF
the company, but it is almost certain
that there is no immediate danger os
anything so rash being done. Tue
company is now restrained by no
court order from carrying out its
threat, butsnevertheless the restrain
ing influence OF public sentiment and
the possibility OF future dimage suits,
would prevent this being done. even
though the company was inclined to
be harsh and unreasonable.
A member OF the company said this
morning: Judge Mason has refused
TO epjoin the company from turning
of gas or water. The people who
have refused TO sigu, will now be ex-
pected to call at the Gompany's Office
and sign aud pay up. The company
is not disposed TO be harsh or unrea.
sonable, and will give everyone
chance to call and sign, before turn
Ing of gas or water IL will be wise
for these commodities TO become such
at once, and avoid further trouble and
expense.
