with the success which has attended
their efforts in securing and paying for
the new pipe organ, recently dedicated.
for the use of the church. While ii has
been only about month since the
organ was installed the ladies have 1t
practically paid for. The original cost
of the organ was $1,000. This amount
has been raised and all that is lacking
is the amount expended in placing the
organ in the church.

New Company.

New Company.
The commission has had before it for
consideration only one formal applica-
ton for gas lighting franchise aside
from the st. Paul Gas Light company.
This application, presented to the com
mon council about the time of the ap-
po1ntment of this commission and re-
ferred to 1t shortly thereafter was
made by G. M. Hertig, an attorney at
law. on behalf of Alexander Harding,
of the city of Chicago.
A hearing was given Mr.. Hertig, but
he could not give to the commission
any assurance that Mr.. Harding, the
applicant. would be in position to
give to the city by Jan. I, 1907, facili-
ties for. gas lighting equal to those
now enjoyed by the city under the
present franchise, nor was he willing
70 assure the commission that MI.
Harding would accept any franchise
from the city which would require him
or any company organized for opera
ton under the same to occupy with
mains or other facilities any territory
that the applicant or his company
would deem to be improbable.
Fight 1t Out.
In view of the unwillingness or in
ability of said applicant to give such
assurances, the commission has not
considered it advisable to make any
recommendation favorable to said ap-
plication. However, it is not opposed
to the granting of any franchise, pro-
vided the city is safeguarded in every
way against irresponsible parties or
persons seeking such franchise.
AS we have before stated, the st.
Paul Gas Light company takes the po-
sition that the duration of the electric
light franchise which it owns or other
wise controls is not limited, and there
fore 1t does not desire any additional

rights of this character. The city, on
the other hand, has taken the position
that by the ordinances passed in 1900 ii
has effectually limited the duration of
these rights to Jan. 1, 1907. 1t could
serve no good purpose to discuss the
legal questions here involved. Neither
party will be satisfied with anything
snort Of decision by court of last
resort.
The commission recommends that
the city cause legal proceedings to be
commenced to- test the rights of the
st. Paul Gas Light company under
these electric franchises; also asks for
further time to make further investi-
cations and more detailed report and
turther recommendation as to electric
franchises.

1, 1907. In the year 1900 the Gas Light
company availed itself of the provi-
sions of section 1856 of the General
Statutes of 1894, a general law author
izing the renewal of all corporations
which had been organized under gen
eral or special acts, for a-period of not
longer than fifty years, and the COM
pany was thereby continued until the
year 1850. The company makes the
claim that these renewal proceedings
operated to continue the company until
1850 with all the rights. necessary to
go on with its business, including the
right to use the streets Of the city for
the purpose of distributing gas to it's
consumers. The commission has not
found 1t necessary to pass upon the le-
gal question here involved, in view of
the course that events have taken.
1t must be conceded, however, that
until Jan. 1, 1907, the st. Paul Gas
Light company has the exclusive right
to use the streets of the city for the
laying and maintaining of gas pipes
and mains. Also that the city can in
the meantime neither regulate the rates
of the company nor compel it to make:
extensions of its mains to other sec
tons of the city.
