INDIANAPOLIS WINS
FIGHT FOR CHEAP GAS

indianapolis. Ind. Oct 30.-After a
fight of two years in the courts for
cheap fuel gas the city of indianapolis
won a victory in the United States SUI
preme court yesterday that will result
in the establishment OF a fuel gas plant
which will furnish gas at 60 cents a
thousand feet and be the first competi-
tor that the indianapolis Gas company
has ever had.
When the Consumers Gas Trust COM
pany was chartered in 1887 q clause in
the franchise specified that i'll the event
that the company should fail for any
cause TO serve the people the city
might take over the pipe lines and
mains of the company at their APP
praised value: appraisers 10 be appoint
cd b. the city and the company.
When natural gas failed two years
ago and the city sought to exercise its
right under the franchise ordinance
the Consumers company resisted and
the case was taken into the courts.
The supreme court affirmed the validi-
ty of the franchise contract, thus up
holding the city's contention in every
particular.
