SOME CONTENTION OVER THE

Some people are making a howl a
to the amount Of money that Is beint
paid the gas company for fuel at thg
cremRtory. The bill does seem exces
sive, but the only thing that councl
can do Is TO pay 1t and then gett
refunding order; Just the same as Z
done when taxes are erroneously as
sessed, The council at It's last meet
ing voted to pay theiblll Tor gas con
sumedJ but thought tie amount charg
ed was excessive.
The impression was given the coup
ell that the meter was not register
ing correctly, whereupon councilman
Hutchinson said that he would see
that tie city lost nothing. Q. D
Robinson eoncurred Ii agreement d
Mr.. Hutchinson. Anew meter Yillbs
placed IN the crematoiy ana whatever
the cIty has paid in excess for gas viii
be refunded by the company; The
fact ls council has only done is duty
