CITY IS STOPPED
 FROM REDUCING RATE
Fort Smith Can't Cut Prices Fixed By
 Company On Gas Supply.

Folt Smith, Jan. 2-Federal Judge Youmans granted temporary re- straining order against the city of Fort Smith, stopping the city from putting into effect the new ordinance reducing the price of natural gas to 2o cents, until final heari!d dg in Feb ruary. The court ordered the gas company to put up bond protecting consumers in their right of rebate if the ordinance is sustained on final hearing The city introduced no evi- dence. preferring to wait until the gas company showed it's hand before go- ing into the suit on final hearing. The company claimed the gas field will expire within five years on the pres i ent limited use, but would be exhaust ed this winter with the more extensive use. It was also claimed that the com pany has $400000 in the gas distrib- uting plant, and that there is no show I to get their investment back with in ! teIeSt except under the nlSn fate.
 The local gas field is under the control of two subsidiary corporations of the H. M. Byllesby Company of Chi ! cago, one of which, the Southwest General Gas Company, holds the wells and pipe lines, and the traction com pany the city distributing plant di- viding the gross receipts equally. Only the latter's receipts figure in the suit. The gas company controls 126 wells. An independent company con- trols' six wells in the same field, which yields 3O,O00,000 feet of gas per month. This pointer on the producing capa- city of the weels will be introduced in the final hearing by the city.
