May Be Two More Natural Gas Fran
chises in Topeka

The streets and walks committee held a
brief session last night. The whole busl-
ness up for consideration was the recon-
mendation to the council the issuance OF
franchises to the two companies making
bid for the same. The two companies
represented We're the Kansas Natural Gas
company, by J. l.. Hunt OF Gleeu- w are
& Gleed, and the Fidelity Oil and Gas
Co, by Councilman Griley-
Mr. Hunt stated in behalf of e 3 Gleed
who represents the interests in this city
of the Kansas Natural Gas company, tina I
Mr. Gleed had been called out of the city
and that he merely called to explain the
absence of Mr. GIeed, and could not give
more extended Information with regard
to the Kansas Natural Gas company re-
sources and intentions than that which
was clready known. He stated, however,
that Mr.. Gleed had telephoned him that
the Kansas Natural Gas company had
their pipe line up to the city limits Of
Kansas City.
At first the committee appeared to be
the franchise presented should provide
for guarantee of $500 cash. On further
discussion it was considered unwise to
make such a recommendation at the pres
ent time since it would Immediately en-
nance the selling value of the FRANCHISE
of the Continental Gas company, whose
franchise is now in operation and which
provides for q $1,000 guarantee only. In
view of this fact and that all of the COM
panies might enter their bid for a fran
mitee decided to defer action until the
next meeting, which is called the ne
cesSIty arises. Councilman Holiday of
the committee assured the other members
that something would drop within the
next 80 days.
Both of the two companies represented
are willing to put UP q guarantee stated
their agents, who were present.

other members get used to him and

J. Bun Adams, a prominent member
of the cast two years ago, will be miss

was addicted to humor' and derived
with himself and others. It was said
that he could get UP and screech mi.
