denies from the bedside of his sick
sister in Philadelphia that he con-
scented to the city's legislation against
the gas company being taken from
his court. He has sent a letter to cir
cult court judges defying them to
take it away from him and saying he
would readily assent to the reassign-
ment if he thought the gas consum-
ers would be benefited by the change.
Many months ago Atty Donald
Richberg, representing the city, ask
ed Judge Gibbons to change the case
from the superior to the circuit court,
saying that it was a chancery mat
ter, not one of law. Gibbons refused
to do this. He sent the case to a
master in chancery, where the COM
pany's books we're brought out and
partly opened. Upon the masters re-
port he denied the city the right of
impounding $1O,000,000 overcharges
of the company and the whole open
ing of the company's book that the
real manufacturing cost of the price
of gas could be obtained for a fair
rate making.
Then Richberg asked the circuit
court judge to take the case. He
called Judge Gibbons conduct "a
scandal in the administration of JUS
time" So 'Hin the interests of justice"
he asked the case to be transferred.
1t was.
For the first time in the history of
the court case has been taken away
from a judge who has announced his
desire to handle it.
Gibbons is not expected back for
several days and this morning Rich
berg appears before Judge Frederick
Smith to ask to have Judge Gibbons
order, which sent the suit to mas
ter in chancery, vacated. If this is
done the ruling based on the masters
report will be void and. the city can
start all over again in it's attempt to

as rebate on their inflated gas bills
for the past five years. Richberg also
wants the company's books opened.
He is so sure of obtaining this privi-
lege from the court he has asked the
city to include in the budget an
amount to be expended in an inves-
tigation of the books and corps of
engineers to analyze the figures
brought in by the accountants.
: The gas committee of the council
is satisfied the way things are going.
They told Richberg to go ahead and
decided to call in this morning
officials of the company to explain a
portion of their letter to the coun-
Gil in which the company cried for
quits. 1t offered to start making the
rates all over if the city would only
leave them and their $1O,OOO,OOO
alone.
