The Alliance Gas and Electric COM
pany has commenced proceedings

city of Alliance, asking for an injunc-
tion restraining the defendant or its
officers from enforcing or attempting
to enforce certain provisions of the

former city legislation pertaining To
the business. They also ask that the
city be restrained from institutlng
proceedings to have the franchise of
the plaintiff forfeited and that the
court decree that the legislation
which reduced selling prices, havo
no binding force.
Plaintiff says that the Alliance
council passed an ordinance in August
1903, whereby the price of electricity
for incandescent light was reduced
one-half the price granted in the or
dinance passed in September, 1902;
and that in June, 1903, the council
passed an ordinance requiring the
plaintiff to sell artificial gas at so
cents per thousand cubic feet instead
of $1.25.

forcing the legislation because of the
pending of an injunction issued by the

difficulty in collecting its bills, and
that a number of suits may arise
