Cedar Rapids, April 6.-While it is
not known that the matter was dis
cussed at the meeting of the state
board of education in Cedar Rapids
this week. it is predicted by some of
those in touch with educational at
fairs at the various institutions coming
under the control of the board. that
the departments Of engineering now
maintained separately at Iowa CITY and
placed at Ames. 1t Is also suggested
that before long the department of
domestic science, now located at Ames,
may be removed to Iowa City. and
made a part Of the university.
When the state board Of educational
control was created, it was the evident
intention OF the legislature to do away
with the duplication of courses of
study, which was growing up under
the separate arrangements of the two
institutions. each institution striving to
Guido the other
With the engineering school removed
to Ames and the domestic science de-
partment at Ames removed to Iowa
City, Ames would become exclusively
a school for boys. Inasmuch as there
are but 200 girls now at Ames, it is
felt that the Ames school is intended
more as an institution for boys. and
that the scheme might as we'll be com
pleted. In favor of removing the do
mestic science department to Iowa
City. 1t will be contended that such re-
moval would in no way handicap the
girls now going to Ames. and at the
same time would give all the young
women attending the university the
opportunity to take instruction in this
very desirable course for young women.
1t is suggested that the buildings at
Ames now used for domestic science
could be easily devoted to some other
activity. and the same can be said of
the engineering building at Iowa CITY.
The elimination of duplication would
undoubtedly save much money, as less
equipment and fewer instructors would
be required. The first year the saw
ing would about pay for the cost OF
transfer

Des Moines, April 6.-After fighting
for eighteen years for reduction Of
gas rates the city Of Des Moines has
won the battle.
A decision was filed in the federal
court late Friday afternoon by Judge
Robert r. Sloan, special master in
chancery, in which he held that a 90
cent rate was sufficient for the gas
company to charge its customers.
The legal effect Of this decision caused
been secured by the gas company re-
straining the city from enforcing an
ordinance which the council passed on
Dec. q. 1910. reducing the gas rtaes in
feet to 80 cents.
The gas company has the right TO
appeal from the decision Of Judge
said to be so Overwhelmingly against
the company that it will not continue
the fight and will allow the citizens of
Des Mo!nes to buy their gas at the
reduced rate from now on.
The probabilities are the consumers
will not only be permitted to get gas
at the reduced rate in the future, but
that they will be able to get 10 per
cent refund on all the gas bills that
they have paid since the first day Of
January, 1911, which was the. day the
ordinance went into effect.
At the time the gas company secured
it's injunction from Judge Mcpherson,
City Solicitor Robert Brennan insisted
that the company file large bond.
Judge Mcpherson required the company
to put up 100000 bond in order to
protect the interests of the people and
insure them the right Of refund on
their gas bills in the event the COM
pany lost its fight.
The gas company has thirty days In
which to file what is known as bill of
exception to the report or decision OF
Judge Sloan, and If this is done the
granting Of the reduced rates and the
refunding of old bills will begin. But
II the company should decide to hle
exceptions the people must wait until
the matter is finally disposed OF by
Judge Mcpherson, who will determine
whether or not the report will stand.
The report filed yesterday Is, how
ever, such a big victory for the city ana
so conclusive as to the right of the
city to ask for a reduction OF rates.
that attorneys for the latter do not be-
lieve the gas company will take any
exceptions to 1t.
