company will install and operate for
thirty days before turning it over
to the Kansas"company.
Several residents of the south
side have been objeetfng TO the site
purchased, just north of the Santa
Fe elevator, on the grounds that It
would cause their property ITO deter
iorate in value. This fact has oc-
casioned considerable delay. since
the gas company fears an injunc-
tion, and dislikes to commence work
and transport the machinery If
there is danger of an injunction be-
ing lodged permanently against
them. This morning, however, the
of the company said that
work would commence within a
week, barring unforeseen delays.
