THAT GAS FRANCHISE.

Col. Dooley, 10 a lengthy communi-
cation to the Democrat, complains
that TIM TINES did not fairly state
the proposition made TO the city
council by Messrs. Michaelis and
Cline In an application for gas fran
chise. Then the Colonel, In his zeal
as attorney for these gentlemen, pro
ceeded to misstate the provisions Of
the Love franchise, which was not
under discussion. That franchise
WAS to sell gas to churches and other
public buildings at Is cents and not
20 cents, as stated by Col. Dooley.
The Brady Company was required to
put up a bond OF $4,000 in 40 days
to complete the plant within one
year, therefore it did not give yea r
for "the holders to dispose Of 1t at a
satisfactory price"
The progressed franchise, represent
ed by Col. Dooley, agrees to drill
four prospect holes, 500 feet deep In
and around Butler. and commence
work on same in 80 days, but 1t
does not specify when those holes
are to be completed. Then again 1t
is the opinion OF a great many that
if gas underlays this territory at all,
it is deeper than 500 feet, and those
gentlemen hold to the opinion that
it would be better to drill two holes
1000 feet each than four holes, 500
fees.
Again the Brady or Love franchise
called for natural gas furnished In
Butler within the year to consumers
under a forfeiture. The proposed
franchise has enough Ifs and provisos
to start a gas factory, one Of the
most important of which is to the
cislz-hs Of Butler and the one which
Colonel Dooley studiously avoids
mentioning in bis able argument for
mis- clients, that if the company fail
to make satisfactory arrangements
for natural gas, then artificial gas is
to be supplied at 81 90 thousand
The idea possibly never occurred to
Col Dooley that possibly his clients
are relying largely upon that limo
cent clause to furnish our peoph
with 81 90 gas instead OF rs cent
gas. The Kar sas City, Mo-, people
to day nre laboring under that bur
len, while Kansas City, Kas., ia get
ting gas at Is CENTS. HE TINES
has no desire or intention OF dealing
uriustly or harshly with Co Dooley's
clients. 1t looks first to the proper
safeguard Of the interests OF Butler
and her citiz ms, and IL the gentle
men asking franchises suffer we arr
not at fault. We are not opposed to
the granting OF a gas franchise to
these gentlemen, II 1t is properly
drawn, the two years limit scaled
down, the artificial gas proposition
cut out and some other changes
made, such az drilling the holes deep.
