COMPANY BLOCKS DOLLAR GAS
Secures Temporary Injunction from,
Judge W. H. Munger.
HEARING Is SET FOR JULY IL
Gas Company Contends IL Cannot At
ford to Sell Consumers Gas mt
One Dollar Per Thousand
Cubic Feet.

Citizens of Omaha are not to enjoy the
privileges of dollar gas for some time to
come. An order restraining the city from
putting the dollar gas ordinance, recently
passed, into effect, was granted the Omaha
Gas company Saturday morning by Judge
w. H. Munger I'm the United States circuit
court. The hearing for a temporary in
junction has been set for $3.50 o'clock on the
morning of July u.
The papers were filed by the gas com
pany Friday night after the ordinance had
been signed by Mayor Dahlman and the
City of Omaha was made the defendant in
the case 1t is the contention of the gas
company in its petition that dollar gas
would not yield a sufficient revenue to pay
stockholders interest on their investments
and also that the ordinance is confiscatory.
The ordinance was drawn and passed on
the suggestion of Assistant City Attorney
william C. Lambert, who claimed that the
city had the right 10 regulate the rate OF
the company, irrespective of the fact that
the gas company has a franchise which
does not expire for seven years to come and
in which the gas company agrees to furnish
gas at the rate of S1-25 per thousand cubic
feet. less 10 cents, If paid before the 10th o;
the month.
Denies Right 10 Regulate.
The gas company makes a second claim
that the council has no right to regulate
the gas rates. as the franchise is still in
effect and stipulated price for gas per
LOCO cubic feet is named in 1t, and II is con-
sidered no less than a contract with the
city.
The Omaha Gas company about two
weeks ago offered to sell gas to the city
for lighting purposes for 81 per 1000 cubic
feet, which the city will accept
Frank T. Hamilton as president OF the
Omaha Gas company, has retained w. NJ,

as council for his company and the re-
strainlng order was issued after a bond
for 5000 had been filed. The various book
keepers at the gas company have signed
sworn affidavits as to the conditions of
the company, and the papers have also
been filed in the federal court.
An engineer by the name of Jansen
Haines of Des Moines, and known over the
country as an expert in the gas business.
made an investigation OF the Omaha Gas
company plant and has filed a long state
ment giving his reasons why the dollar
gas would not prove profitable for the
stockholders. lie said

lowance for depreciation sufficient to pro-
vide interest and profit on the value of the
property of the Omaha Gas company used

Il believe the limitation Of consumption
of gas per capita in Omaha has been prac-
tically reached. and that the amount of
such consumption win be and cannot be
materially increased by decreasing the rate

must be obtained from an increase In pop
ulation and the growth and development

parts of the city which are not now sup

expenditure OF large sums Of money for

Mayor Dahlman said Saturday morning
that it was the opinion OF the city attorney
that the city would he able TO defeat the
gas company in the courts and that he
was of the same opinion. However" he
