PRATT MUST
REPORT ON
GAS

Demanding to know why the gas
company has paid no tax on the
Roger Williams franchise for near
ly four years, the city council last
night adopted a resolution offered
by Councilman Cartwright re-
questing that the mayor and the
corporation counsel make a report
on this proposition.
The franchise requires that the
gas company pay the city 2 per
cent annually on It's gross earnings.
1t did pay this for awhile and then
quit, and no effort has since been
made either to collect the tax or
forfeit the franchise
The resolution Of Councilman
Cartwright is dericted to Mayor
Pratt, who is supposed to protect
the people in such matters, as the
corporation counsel is appointed by
and under the immediate orders of
the mayor.
Mayor Pratt voted to pass the
gas franchise as councilman over
the veto of Mayor Boyd.

The last legislature made some
changes in the primary law, the
principal ones being the following,
as given by the Vermillion Repub
lican:
One of the principal changes is
that there is now no fee charged
for filing nominating petitions,
whereas heretofore fees up to SIS
were charged. Another radical
change is found in the provision
that the candidate receiving the
highest number Of votes is the
nominee of the party and he is not
obliged, as under the former law,
to secure any certain percentage of
all the votes cast. No party con.
ventions whatever are provided for
except in cases of parties which
cast less than ten per cent of the
the total vote for governor at the
last election. The nominations of
all other parties must be made iu
the primary elections. Nominal
ing petitions must be filed with the
county auditor at least thirty days
prior to the primary election the
petition must contain the names
of not less than three per cent nor
more than five per cent of the to.
tai vote for governor, cast by the
party at the last election, upon
whose ticket the petitioner wishes
his name to appear; the signers
must write their names with per
and ink or indelible pencil auc
must give their postoffce address
their voting precinct and the date
of signing.
