The passage of the fran chise ordi
nance last July raised storm o
protest in East St. Louis. No ink
ling had been given to the public
that such a bill would be introduced
and its passage was planned at .
secret caucus of Councllmen late ir
the afternoon. Tho bill was rushed
through the Council meeting with
such speed that the few citizens In
tho gallery scarcely realized what
was being done.
Under the terms of the ordinance
the company was to have a 80 year
franchise in consideration of a cash
payment of $4,000 into the city
treasury, and no provision was made
for a lowering of the company's
rates, which had long been regarded
by East st. Louis residents as exces-
sive. The new franchise was to go
into effect next June.
In its petition filed last week for
an injunction to prevent the repeal
of the franchise, the water company
