CLUB WOMEN ARE
NOW INTERESTED
Petition Council For Municipal
Ownership Of Light
and Gas
OVER 800 NAMES SUBSCRIBED
City Federation Of Womens Clubs
Foster a Movement on the Part Of
tho Housewives Of the city--Petition
is Referred to Ways and Means Com.
nittee and Attorney.

Members Of the City Federation OF
Women's Clubs. to the number OF 300
or more, petitloned the council Mon
day might thru Chairman Webster, OF
the committee on water,works and
electric lights, asking that the city
adopt a municipal ownership system OF
electric lighting and gas, that the
housewives OF Marshnlltown may not
only have better, but cheaper light and
fuel. Mr.. Webstersss pronounced the
petition the strongest and most i'm
portant that had been before the coun-
ell for some time, and was referred to
the committee on ways and means and
city attorney.
The petition clearly sets forth the
griefs OF the housewife who depends
upon gas to do her cooking, and uses
electricity to light her home. The
women say that to the best of their
knowledge there Is no city wherein
homes are so poorly lighted and at
the same time bills for gas and cleo
tricity are so high as In Marshalltown.
The women urge the council to bring
about change In conditions by the
city owning its own plant, and give
consumers better results at q minirl-
lied cast
Mr.. Webster, in presenting the petit
ton, spoke but very briefly, but ex-
pressed himself as being heartily 10
sympathy with the question Of mu :
nicipal ownership Of light and gas.
The petition, he said, was signed by
the most Intelligent women Of the city,
and he believed that fully 30 per cent
OF the housewives of Marshalltowrl
would have signed the petition had
they been given the opportunity. He
believed that by the city owning the
business 1t could furnish light and gas
for residence at saving Of SO per
cent. There are two things to be con-
sidered, however, first, the charter OF
the Marshalltown Light, Power and
Railway company. and the ways and
means of such an undertaking.
In referring the petition to the ways
and means committee the city attorney
will give the committee an opinion as
to the charter Of the Marshalltow n
Light Power and Railway company as
to the legality Of move looking to-
ward the municipal ownership Of these
utilities.
