iected that under the terms of the
agreement gas would be higher than
it now is, although the company has
been offering its heat unit gas prop
Osition as a reduction of rates. He
was seconded by Aldermen Merriam
and Buck, who tried unsUCCessfUIly
to stop an order directing the COM
mittee attorneys to draw up an or
dinance containing the features as
outlined in the agreement. A mo-
ton of Aid. Merriam that the con-
sumers get a crack at the agreement
by use of the referendum if it were
entered into by the council, was
passed by the committee.
The objection of the trio was that
rates will really be higher if the
agreement is entered into by the city
because it will. take more heat unit
gas to make the same light as it does
under the candle power standard.
The cost of gas per 1000 feet I'M
der the proposed ordinance would be:
1000 cubic feet .75.5 cents
1,500 cubic feet .........73.7 cents
1000 cubic feet .........72.5 cents
$500 cubic feet .........72.2 cents
5000 cubic feet .........71.8 cents

This was arrived at by a change
of 80 cents for the first $50 cubic feet
and 70 cents per ], 200 feet up to TO-
