COMP ANY
SERVES ANSWER
IN GAS RATE CASE

The answer of the Union Light,
Heat e. Power Co., of Fargo, in the
suit brought by the city of Moorheau
to restrain the putting into effect the
City Atty. James A. Garrity this
morning 1t is signed by Denegre Il
McDermott, Of st. Paul, and A. w.
Fowler, of Fargo, as counsel for the
defendant company.
The answer alleges that the actual
cost of the gas furnished Moorhead
consumers during the month of Aug
ust was SLAP at the meter, and that
the estimated cost for the remainder
of the year is $1.46. If compelled 20
comply with the Moorhead franchise
rate Of $1.45, this will, it is alleged,
result in confscation.
In support of the increased cost, the
answer alleges that there has been an
per cent, the price of coal on the
docks at Superior, Wis, having ad-
vanced from SO in 1915 and 1885 in
1917 to $3.50 for the present year In
creased cost of labor, it is alleged, is
months, of 1918 over the cost in 1915.
While disclaiming the accuracy of
the inventory made by Hagenah Il
Anderson, the figures reported by
them are used as. a basis for the i'm
claimed that additions amounting to
$29,5S0, made during the first six
months of 1918, and authorized adii-
tions under construction amounting
perts' appraisal Of $46F,So0, making
the total value S598,018.
1t is also claimed in the answer
that the franchise rate of Aug q,
1912, is merely permissive and difect-
DRY and ont mandatory. There is no
obligation on the part of the company
to continue service to Moorhead con-
sumers, 1t is claimed in the answer.

Two subscriptions, aggregating s6.-
600, were made today to the Fourth
Liberty loan by Moorhead men. DR..
d. G. barrow was first under the wire
with a subscription of $4,000, ex-
ceeding his allotment by $1,000. John
Erickson made the second subscrip-
ton, $1,000, and said he was glad Of
the opportunity and his only regret
was that he could not take a larger
share of the loan.
Everything is in readiness for the
drive in Clay county next Saturday
and Chairman A. H. Costain believes
there will be no trouble to put over
the full amount in one. day. All Of
the Moorhead allotments have been
made by the city committee and re-
ported to Chairman G. G. Dosland

evening Chairman Costain and Vice
Chairman William Russell went to

Italians Look
Upon Red Cross
As Near DiUjne


The wonderful work the American
Red Cross is doing in Italy is referred
to in a letter received on Monday. by
Mrs. Gust Eklund from her son, Lieut..
Edwin G. Eklund, who is engaged in
relief work for the society. The letter
was written from Milan and tells of
the 10000 fatherless children who are
being cared for in that city. The es-
Enlistment of camps, schools and
Fairgrounds for theA children is being
done by the Red Cross.
The people of Italy consider the
American Red Cross almost divine
and the representatives Of the society
may go anywhere without question.
All of the school children have been
taught to sing THE Star Spangled
Banner. Lieutenant Eklund tells of
making a 400-mile automobile trip ON
relief work and of starting on another
of over 800 miles Even the wealthy
people in Italy are not allowed to use
automobiles on account of the search
ty of gasoline. The use of the cars is
limited to army and Red Cross service.
