Cedar Rapids, July 23.-A lively war
between river public utility corpora
lions is in prospect here. It is all over
the gas question Recently the Averill
family sold the Cedar Rapids Gas
Company to Child, Hulswit & Co., of
Grand Rapids, Mich., which owns sew
eral public utility companies. includ-
ing plants at Muscatine and Fort
Dodge. About the same time Thomas
D. Miller. representing unknown capt.
talists, attempted TO buy the plant, but
failing, proposed a new gas company.
Miller, it is ruurored, is backed by
Colonel Pratt, at the gas trust, who
it is understood wanted to buy the
Avertll plant, and was displeased be-
cause he was not given an opportunity
to exercise a verbal option which it is
alleged the Averills had promised him.
Miller at first proposed franchise
establishing the rate for gas at IS
cents. or cents aobve the rate estab-
lished by the ordinance which now has
reached the United States supreme
court. Miller, however saw that the
people would NOT take kindly 10 70
cent ordinance. and has introduced a
new ordinance providing for 80 cent
gas, and making many concessions TO
consumers. The old company or its
new managers, at first proposed to ask
for a settlement Of the long standing
controversy with the city, by making
the rate a sort of sliding scale affair,
with large users. getting greatly re-
duced rates, but with the ordinary
consumer paying about IS cents net.
But the rpove OF the Miller interests
caused the. old company to withdraw
Its proposition. The old company say
they will not make any move until 1t
is determined what Is done with the
Miller franchise, but II is rumored they
viii make a heroic effort TO defeat the
proposed franchise. The old company's
franchise has seven years to run.
The people confidently expect that
before many months they will be get
ting gas al 80 cents, and that they Will
have then received also all the rebates
coming TO them. the difference between
80 cents and the s1.l5 collected by the
company.
