is WORK TO DO.
City Council Confronted With
Real Work Tonight.
Three Important Propositions
on Aldermen Docket.
GAS OPINION is OUT.
Attorneys Will Recommend Sane
Action Against Gas Company.
Firemen Salary Raise City En-
gineer BugabOO.

Three important proposition come up
before the regular meeting of the city
council tonight-the report Of City At
torney Ralston and his attorney on the
gas shortage problem, the proposition
to raise the salaries Of the city firemen
and the final decree of the councilmen
as to the appointment Of an engineer
expert to assist City Engineer Fulton in
his duties
The gas problem is of interest to
everyone in Topeka. At the last meet
ing of the council it was decided that
City Attorney Ralston and q. t. Hazen
should prepare an expert opinion as TO
the action that should be taken against
the Consumers Light, Heat and Power
company in order that Topeka might
receive more gas during extremely cold
weather.
This opinion has been prepared and
will be given to the members of the
city council tonight. City Attorney
RalStOn has refused to make known
the contents of the opinion but it is I'M
derstood that nothing radical will be
undertaken to compel the gas company
to furnish gas. 1t has been stated that
the company would be expelled from
the rights of their franchise and re-
ceiver would be appointed to attend to
their business.
But in their opinion to the council to-
night it is thought that the city attor-
ney and the hired attorney will make a
number of communications for more
gas and ask that Topeka be given suf-
f1cient gas to keep the patrons comfort
able. Everyone realizes that gas is a
luxury and when there is a shortage in
cold weather a plea for relief accom-
panied by some legal action seems to
be the order Of the day.
The attorneys will also recommend
tonight that the city compel the gas
company to repair and put in good con-
dition all of it's mains in this city. The
recent explosions and loss of life have
demanded that some action of this kind
be taken. 1t is probable that the gas
company will be required to take up
the old gas mains used many years ago
and substitute new ones.
The fact that there is a shortage Of
gas today on account of the explosion
at Scipio will give the gas question a
good start tonight. 1t always takes a

southern districts to preclude negroes

rector Durand today issued general in

men Known.

A yellow 'possum is the latest speci-
men of the Topeka collection of wild
animals have known" This 'possum
was captured Saturday night by
George Hicks, who lives at 113 East
Eighteenth street. He saw the pos
sum near the Missouri Pacific tracks
down by the Rickenbacher tract and.
with dog, took up the chase at
once.
When the possum hid under pile
of brush between the tracks and

dog guarded all of the exits and he
was soon captured. He is now on ex-
hibition by the proud hunter.
