Peter Murphy colored was second

City Officials Frame New De-
post Rule Which They
Ask Richmond Gas Com
pany to Accept.
OFFER A COMPROMISE
Say Other Rules Will Be Ap-
proved if Corporation Con.
sents to Proposal Drafted
by Board.

II the Richmond Light, Heat and
Power company will agree to the fol
lowing deposit rule the board of pub
lie works will approve all the COM
pany's rules pertaining to it's natural
gas service:
THE company reserves the right to
require reasonably safe guarantee
or cash deposit, sufficient to meet the
estimated cost for the service of nat
ural gas rendered for a term of six
weeks. Such cash deposit shall in
no case be less than So. No interest
shall be paid upon such deposit. No
guarantee or deposit shall be required
of customers who have met all pay
ments of natural and artificial gas
bills before delinquency payment be-
fore the tenth day of the next calen.
dar month after consumption not be-
ing considered delinquency for the
term of one year.
"At the expiration of continuance or
guaranty or deposit for the term OF
one years, or upon discontinuance OF
service, the customer is entitled to
the surrender up of such guaranty or
cash deposit, provided all bills for
service of gas have been paid
This edict was handed down to the
local representatives of the company
by the board of public works late yes
terday afternoon, but the placing OF
the minimum deposit at SO instead OF
IS proved a stumbling block, and the
corporation officials declared they
were without authority to act on the
matter 1t is presumed that this ques
ton will no be referred by the L., H
and P officials to the officers of the
eastern holding company for final de
cision.
In the meantime the board of works
| maintains its position that the rules OF
the company are null and void, they
never having been approved by the
present board of the Zimmerman
board, and, consequently can not be
enforced.
Meeting is Held.
| Yesterday the L., H. and P. company
| formally presented it's full set of nat
| ural gas service rules to the board
for its consideration. The deposit
rule as prepared by the company was
the same as the one set forth above
except that S. minimum deposit was
provided and did not have the words
"for natural and artificial gas writer
into it after the word payments" The
incorporation Of this phrase is accept
able to the company.
In letter accompanying the rules
the company announced that it "waiv
ed all right" as to it's present rules
which statement nettled President
Bavis, of the board, who said the com
pany had no right to waive, for the
rules it has attempted to enforce are
not worth the paper they are writer
| upon, never having ben approved by
the board, as required in section eigh
of the company's natural gas franchise
I'VE have said our say in this mat
| ter" said Mr.. Bavis today. "If the
company drafts set of rules which
meet our demands we will approve
them. 1t is up to the company te
act'

Second Presbyterian church. He is
married and has two sons, one living
at Dubuque. la. The younger boy will
live with his parents here.
Various organizations and societies
within the church are preparing to

highly probable that special services
will be held at the church following
the arrival of the new minister.
Plans are being made by members
of the church to raise fund of $500
with which to purchase a pipe organ.
A portion of this fund has been sub

he has not lost his interest in Rich
mond affairs and keeps we'll posted on
matters Of local interest. Mr.. Reid
said that the only purpose of his visit
to Richmond was to visit relatives.
In former years a visit to Richmond
by Mr.. Reid was signal for general
stampede by people desiring favors
for themselves and for public and pri-
vate organizations they represented
but of late friends of the tinplate mas

Edward Watts Tells City At

Cannot Be Considered As
sets.

Edward Watts, of Princeton, Ind.
the hydraulic engineer employed by
the city to assist in the preparation
of the city's case to be brought before
the public utilities commission in the
appraisement of the plant of the Rich.
mond City Water Works company, is
in the city.
Mr.. Watts has made no statement as
to whether his investigation of the
commissions water works valuation
report has led him to believe that the
appraisement is too high, but City At
torney Bond said Mr.. Watts had in
formed him that he believed many of
the items figured into the valuation
could not be considered company as.
SETS
A full list of exceptions to be taken
to the valuation report will be listed
and when the case comes up for
hearing before the commission Mr.
Bond believes the city will have some
strong arguments to present. Previ.
ously Mr. Bond has roughly estimated
that the valuation credited the water
works company by the commission s
experts was 100000 in excess of it's
real used and useful valuation.
Mr.. Watts probably will remain in
Richmond until Sunday and will ap-
pear as an expert witness for the city
when the case is heard.
The city seeks to have the water
works valuation reduced because the
valuation will be the basis for rate
making. The company asserts that
the valuation placed on it's plant by
the commission is too low. 1t claims a
valuation Of nearly $1,00O,O0O

CLOTHING STORES
TO CLOSE EARLY
Eight Merchants Agree to
Close Shops at 10 O'clock
on Saturday Nights.

Starting with this week, for at least
the next three months, the clothing
stores of Richmond will be closed at
10 o'clock on Saturday evenings. This
agreement was reached between eight
of the leading clothiers after a consul
tation with Charles Jordan, secretary
of the Commercial club. Several fur
nishing establishments, however, will
not observe this rule.
A few weeks ago Secretary Jordan
communicated with the clothiers ask
ing their opinion on the matter. He
received replies indicating that if it
was generally agreed among the deal
ers that an hour of closing would be
established and strictly observed by
those signing the communications.
This led to meeting when the decis-
ion was reached.
ut will be matter of educating the
public to shop early remarked Sec
retary Jordan in commenting upon the
matter. THE merchants will do as
much business when closing early as
otherwise and it will only be a matter
of few weeks until the buying public
will familiarize itself with the rule
Speaking on the fact that several
! haberdashers did not want to enter
into the agreement, Secretary Jordan
said that the proprietors of those
stores are of the opinion that they
should keep open later to accommo-
date other clerks and business men
When the movement for early clos
ing has been given a trial it is likely
it will extend to other stores. The
matter of early shopping has been agi-
tated in Richmond at different times
formerly, but this move is the first of
its kind this year

such as proposed was established in

the guest house workers yesterday
that they had to pay stiff rents fol

their occupants went to bed.
Under the guest house plan each

with the institution provided at very
reasonable rates.
A few days ago four girls approach

and informed her that they lived OF
farms in different parts of the coun

city, and that they attended loca

the guest house would be established
so they could find quarters in the
city on nights when the weather i:

The guest house will be a grea
boon for all homeless working girls
and its promoters are confident the,
will be able to raise the required
funds for its establishment.
