CHEAPER GAS Is
HOPE OF COUNCIL
ALDERMEN BELIEVE COMPANY
WILL MAKE REDUCTION,
Conference Between Committee and Gas
Officials Held This Afternoon to Dis
cuss City''s Demand Both Public
and Private Consumers to Be Bene-
flied by Cut. Z

Another meeting of the city council g
committee on 80-cent gas was held this
afternoon for conference with the
officials of the Minneapolis Gas Light
company. When the aldermen assem-
bled they had a feeling that some offer
Of a reduction in the price Of gas would
be submitted before the meeting ad-
journed. There has never been any
hope that the company would come
down to the council IS demand for a
rate Of 80 cents thousand for gas sup
piled to the city, for street lighting
and other municipal purposes, and the
aldermen all along have been willing
to accept substantial reduction.
The resolution authorizing the confer
ence calls upon the committee to nego-
stiate with the. company relative to,a re.
duction in price to private consumers.
While this is clearly outside OF the
councils authority, it was decided by
the aldermen, that it would do no harm
to ask, and they were prepared to ask:
Many Of the aldermen have expressed
the opinion that the company would re-
duce the price to the city from So cents
to IS cents and to private consumers
from $1.10 to 81 and predicted that the
announcement would be, received today
At any rate, they are expecting a sub.
stantial eduction> in both rates in the
near future, -. -I'i -

for this reason. They cannot be sent

owner since your arrest, but what Is the
