ORDINANCES AND PASSES TO
FINAL READINGS.
MAYOR MAY VETO ONE
OR ALL; UNDECIDED
All Members Present Vote for Lighting
and Power Ordinances, But Good and
Pseneka Vote Against Gas and
Street ca-Jones & Hovey Make No
Reply to Members Request

At the adjourned meeting OF the city
council Monday night the four Hull
rate ordinances, on gas, electricity tol
light and power, and improved stree:
car service, were adpoted when called
up for their third and tnaTreadings by
Mr.. Hull. The question of cheaper gas
electric lights and power is now up to
the mayor for his consent or veto.
on the electricity ordinances for both
lighting and power all the members OF
the council present voted for the final
adoption. On the street car and gas
ordinances Good and Psenicka voted
no, and il remained for the four coun-
cilmen who have favored the ordi-
nances, Gregory, Herman, Hull, and
McCarten, 10 take matters into their
own hands. They followed out the
terms OF their ultimatum as presented
TO Jones & Hovey a few days ago, that
they would vote 10 adopt unless the
utilities concern agreed to allow the
councils auditors TO investigate the
company's earnings and appraise its
property.
L was explained in the council by
Mr. McCarLen that, thru the gas COM
pany's local attorneys, the cause for
the failure 10 receive any reply from
Jones & Hovey whatsoever was due to
the fact that one or the other OF the mem
bers of the firm, Mr.. McCarten did not
quite understand which. was not in In
dependence, and the other member did
not like to take the responsibility Of
replying TO the council
Psenicka Wanted to Defer.
Psenicka thought that, in view Of the
negotiations pending between the
council OF the whole and Jones & How
ey for purchase of the plant, that fur
ther action on the ordinances should
be deferred until the next regular
meeting Good seconded the motion.
but the four members supporting the
ordinances were not inclined TO do any
more deferring, and the motion was
lost with Good and Psenicka voting
aye. Clark telephoned TO the council
chamber that he had been working in
his garden all day and was TOO tired
TO attend the meeting
Ordinances Are Ado pied.
Mr.. Hull then called for the ordin-
ances, the electricity for lighting pur-
poses being read first After the adop-
