in case the board of directors act ia

Jensen. 1t is possible that as far as
the assistant secretary is concerned
that an amicable agreement may be
reached as President Jensen suggests
that the rebate association transact its
business direct with the Commercial
club and that the club increase the
salary s25 per month which would
make her income from the two sources
the same that it is at the present time
President Jensen suggests that the
Commercial club establish a rate
bureau with a competent rate expert
in charge of the department for the
purpose of examining all freight bills
of the merchants of Topeka for the
purpose of discovering where dis
ordinations exist. This would call
for an expert in this line Of work and

REVISE GAS ORDINANCE.
Effort Will Be Made to Reduce the
Maximum.

A change in rates forcing the max
imum down from 45 cents for domestic
consumption to 25 cents is contemplat-
ed by members Of the city council at
meeting this evening which will be
largely given over to a discussion of
the present gas franchise
Acting under section 81 of the city
charter act which provides that: ITO
prescribe and fix maximum rates and
charges, and regulate the collection of
the same, for all water, electric light,
heat, power, gas, telephone service or
any other commodity or service fur
nished to such city or any of its in
habitantS thereof by any person or cor
poration now authorized by such city
by virtue of a franchise ordinance, or
that may hereafter be authorized by
virtue of a franchise ordinance to fur
nish water, electric light, heat, power,
gas or telephone service or any other
commodity of service to such city or to
it's inhabitants. The rates and charges
as prescribed shall at all times be rea-
sonable and just; and if any city shall
fix unreasonable and unjust rates and
charges, the same may, at the instance
of any producer or consumer, be re-
viewed and determined by the district
court of The county in which such city
is situated"
Armed with this section of the law
which Councilman Hughes states he
has been informed is ample to COM
mence proceedings to bring about re-
duction in the maximum price resolu-
ton will be introduced directing the
city attorney to commence the proper
action looking to that end. Il intend
also to introduce resolution providing
that no more excavation permits be is
sued to the gas company for new con-
nections. find that 66 permits were is
sued during December and a during
January said Councilman Hughes.
The judiciary committee OF the coun-
Gil to which was referred the action to
annul the franchise because of the in
adequate gas supply will bring back
report unfavorable to such action. The
report will in all probability be received
affirmatively by the council.
The councilmen as a whole OeneVe
that proper efforts are being made to re-
lieve the conditions that presented
themselves previously and that annul-
ling the franchise at this time VIII not
bring anything to bear that can soIve
the question of adequate gas supply.
The issue of q maximum rate Is enllre-
Nv another proposition. St. Joseph, 1t IS
understood by statements mace by
OFFICIALS of that city, has a maximum
of 20 cents while a statement was made
with reference to Kansas City, Kansas,
that it was 35 cents there. Topeka is
the only CITY of consequence that is be-
ing served by the Kansas Natural Gas
company where the maximum is 40
cents-that of course is not due TO the
gas company but the councilmen VINO
in the first place passed such an orol-
nance and no effort has ever been MADE
TO charge the maximum
