SH-h-h! MORE GAS RuMBuNGS.
COUNCIL. ASKED TO EXTEND THE
FRANCHISE OF GAS COM
PANY ONCE MORE

Hello! What 8 this? A letter from
the Columbus Gas Construction COM
panyq Oh yes, about two years ago a
company by that name was granted a
franchise to install a gas plant in Lit
tie Falls, which plant was to be .. in
operation within a few months. But
what can they want now9 Only an ex-
tension Of the limit of the time re-
quired to begin work on the installa-
ton Of the plant.
Letters containing this request have
been sent to the city mayor and the
city council and the local stockholders
of ,the Little Falls-Darling Gas COM
pany have also been notified Of the re-
quest. The matter probably will be
brought up at the next meeting Of the
council. As the matter now stands,
the sum Of $500 is due the city from
the bonding company, as result OF
the failure Of the gas company to full
I'LL the requirements of the franchise.
No steps were ever taken to collect
the money, however.
The gas company also sent state
ment showing the business done by it
during the last fiscal year, ending Jan
uary 81, 1915: This statement was no
doubt intended to show that the COM
pany is still doing business, in other
places.
