Richberg blamed the corrupt leg
islature of years ago which issued
special and sand-bagging charters
and the ''gray WOLF city council
which allowed the gas company to
purchase the Mutual Gas Co. plant
for $5,OOO,0OO, when it was worth
only $1,50O,O0O, and to absorb the
Ogden Gas Corporation for $6,000,-
600, which was worth, at the most,
100000.
A public utility company is sup
posed to charge the public only
enough over the producing price to
get a fair return on their original in
vestment. A fair return is estimated
at per cent the country over, but
the Peoples Gas Light & Coke COM
pany is paying 8 per cent.
The investment of a public utility
company is the money they put into
their plant and equipment. Upon this
the fty and the company fixes rate
which shall allow the company to pay
a fair dividend. The higher the gas
company can value it's property the
more bonds it can issue and the high
er the rate will go to give them a
fair return"
Back in 1911 when a gas rate was
being formulated, the city hired an
expert. The gas company, to the sur
prise of every one, threw open its
books. Then it was discovered that
this very expert had accepted job
from another privately-owned gas
company out of town. He was fired
and Prof. Edward Bemis, public util-
fly expert, took up the job. On his
figures an ordinance was drawn up
which the gas company after fight |
ing in the council went into court |
and enjoined.
Now if the gas company can prove
that their property is worth so much |
then they can claim the impounded |

plreS next August. sam insult, neaQ
of the gas company, has offered to
throw open the books of the company
for rate-making purposes, but at the
same time he keeps them closed for
fear the aldermen will use the in
formation they collect in fighting
their suit in court.
If Sam insult doesn't come through
with an offer to open the books Of
the gas company to city experts this
afternoon Atty Donald Richberg will
go before Circuit Court Judge Smith
and ask the court for an order throw
ing open the company's books. Judge
Smith, in a recent opinion, plainly
stated that the city had this right.
Two weeks ago insult told the gas,
the council that the company would
not object to ''gas engineer Of
standing" going in and making an
investigation for the city.
Richberg thought this statement
so significant that he started out to
find a ''gas engineer of standing"
Yesterday he reported to gas itiga-
ton committee of the council that
he had been Informed that practical
ly all such engineers were either I'M
der retainer by the Peoples Gas,
Light and Coke Co. or some other gas
company.
insult also admitted to the alder
men that a full investigation as to
the value of the gas company's plant
had OoUpr honn made and thnn coid
his company was going to get this
valuation at the cost of $25O,OOO.
The city is now attempting to get
back for the people of Chicago this
$10,000,OOO, which has been i'm ,

with a lot of drugs that merely 'stop"
the cough temporarily by deadening the
throat nerves. Treat the cause-heal the
inhamed membranes. Here is a home
made remedy that gets right at the cause
and will make an obstinate cough vanish
more quickly than you ever thought pos
sible.
Put 21s ounces of Pinex $50 cents
worth in pint bottle and fill the bottle
with plain granulated sugar syrup. This
gives you full pint of the most pleasant

COAL TAX FUTURE

Auditor General Will Submit
the Difficulties to the At

The whole situation arising out of
the action of the Supreme Court in
declaring the anthracite coal tax act of
1913 unconstitutional and refusing the
petition of the Attorney General for
rehearing will be taken up with Attor-
ney General Brown by the Auditor
General within few days. Mr.. Powell
said to-day that the assessment of taxes
under the act of 1915, which was
under way, would also be taken up
with Mr.. Brown and the future of the
matter decided upon.
Governor Brumbaugh has received
acceptances of service on the commits
sion TO investigate the raise in the
price of anthracite under the guise of
the tax and will likely meet Thomas
Martindale. who will be chairman, at
Philadelphia tomorrow.
Auditor General Powell will also
take UP with the Attorney General the
questions about the new escheat law.
which, it is held. is limited in its
operation to banks, under a provision
in one of the sections. 1t is expected
at the Capitol that a constitutional
test of the escheat act will be made.

RockUille's Chickens
Run For Shelter When
Quarrymen Shout "Fire"

The cry of fire" beloved in the
distance-reaching tones of the full
throated quarryman is not without it's
significance to the peaceful dogs and
cats and chickens of Rockville; but
it hasn't the usual meaning.
So an earnest Rockville matron de-
clared on the witness stand in the
January criminal court this morning
during the trial of F. G. Kaufman,
operator of a stone quarry on the out
skirts of the up-river town. He is
charged with maintaining a nuisance
in that the heavy and frequent blasts
send chunks of rocks plunglng
through roofs, fences, etc, to the
annoyance of the residents.
The residents in the neighborhood
have grown used to the frequent
showers of rock, however, and they
dodge for their homes and barns
like fighting Europeans to the gun
shelters when the whistle of an ap-
preaching shell is heard. The chick
ems and the dogs and the cats have
been observant, too.
At first the furred and feathered
folk took chances at lodging the
rocks; lately they've grown to ap-
preciate the same tip that means so
much to the residents, according to
to-days witness BY pre-arrange-
ment and i'm order to give the folks in
the neighborhood half chance to
dodge a falling rock, the quarrymen
send up a loud cry of fire." when
about to blast.
The people, be they in barnyard
on porch, or on balcony, act prompt
ly; they don't stop to reason why
Everybody hustles for cover. The
cats and dogs, the pigs and the chick
ems are not especially stupid. AT
first they meowed and howled and
barked and grunted and cackled. Now
they make little or no vocal fuss.
But-and the witness is the authority
for this at the terrorizing cry of
fire" the cats and dogs and pigs
and chickens race for shelter.
And a few seconds later the still
ness is broken by the dull boom of a
blast and the shower of stones.
After a while the folks and their
dogs and cats and pigs and chickens
venture into the open again and in
spect with gradually waning curiosity
the sections of Rockville's stony
mountains that have newly arrived in
their bailiwicks.
