all of them twice the sizs Of Rocky Ford.
In none of them was the price lower than
S l.50 and most of them paid Sl.6o per
thousand. except Manhattan. Kansas,
which town only paid ST 40 per thous-
and. Even La Junta had agreed on the
sl.5o rate. The day before the question
was to come before the council Mr..
Culver called at my office and wanted to
know what thought OF the franchise and
| told him was against it in its present
form. At that time it was understood
that the company was to pay cost of cleo
ton and the people were to pay Sl.5o
per thousand. He offered to pay
same per cent of gross earnings into the
city that the Electric Light Company paid
but insisted that we must have theS 40
rate and we argued till ten o'clock of the
day the council met and then he gave up
and commenced getting busy and kept
the wires hot and did not get consent of

Gil.
The saving of 10 cents on every 1000
feet of gas that will be used in Rocky Ford
when people once get using it will amount
to so much that a little or per cent
on gross earnings will fade into insignifi-
ganoe. Anyone that knows anything
about gas knows that it is one of the lux
uries of life and cheaper and very much
cleaner for cooking than either coal or
gasoline and the gas makes a very good
light. believe this Is a better franchise
than Rocky Ford will get offered them in
the next 10 years. If Rocky Ford votes
this franchise down and La Junta gets
the gas. it simply means that La Junta
scores once more over Rocky Ford and
some people will locate in La Junta in
preference TO Rocky Ford simply be-
cause they can get gas to use. How
anvone can oppose this franchise that
has the best interests of Rocky Ford at
heart is beyond my comprehension. Sell
fish interests may line up some people
against the proposition. But believe
that every citizen that believes in pro-
gress, that wants to see Rocky Ford
