People of this city very soon will pc

rate probably Will he put in effect when
the bills for May are issued. This Will
be the result Of a temporary restrain
.ug order Judge II. j. Wade. of the
federal court viii sign probably within
a week, perhaps sooner. The judge.
who is presiding at the Davenport
division Of the federal court told c. H.
(. Boardman, who has been retained
to represent the city with City Solicitor
II. H. Craney, that the temporary re-
straining order would be issued without
Il hearing. The hearing was set for 8
o'clock this forenoon. The temporary
injunction does not, however, prejudice
N any way either the rights of the city
or The company in the case.
The order, however, will provide that
of each 81. paid for gas the Iowa Rail
way and Light Company shall retain
81 and shall deposit the 40 cents in
some local bank, yet to be designated.
Later the legal controversy over the
equity of the rate will be waged.
Judge Wade's Position.
Judge Wade's position, as outlined
to the attorney, who interviewed him
Wednesday evening to ascertain
whether or not the court would hear
the application for temporary injunc-
ton, IS that such a hearing would DC
impossible now.
Judge Wade called attention, in the
first place, to the warning of Presi-
dent wilson, and the situation III sen
eral asregards public utilities, that as
rule present rates were inadequate
The court added that in the second
place, if the temporary injunction were
not issued, the utilities company would
be heavy losers. because people would
move away, and would not pay their
bills at the higher rate, and that the
money could be conserved both for the
company, if it won, and the consumers,
II the city won, by impounding the 40
cents per 1000 cubic feet in a bank,
to there remain until the case is final
" ajudicated.
The judge pointed out that If he at
tempted 70 hold a hearing on the ap-
plication it would be impossible to ar
rive at the real issues without a thor
ough and complete hearing of the
whole case. He believed no partial
hearing would enable the court to get
sufficient facts to arrive at a just de-
termination of the case, and that
partial hearing would be entirely in
adequate.
Judge Wade said that as matter
of fact. he, and other federal judges.

$S50,0OO; electric light and power
100000, total Of s1,O5o. 900, or almost

in 1917: Street railway, profit, $22,L

answer adds.
Profit of IA Per Cent.
On the question of profits the an
swer says: The figures furnished by
the complainant to defendants and al
so in its publication and advertise
meats thru TIC public press showed
that the plant had earned and paid q
profit of over a per cent average dur
ing the last five years under then eX
listing rates The schedule of the earn
ings alleged IS: In 1918, of over 9k

per cent on 100000 and'in 1916 of over
16 per cent on 100000.
and while" says the answer, these
figures showed a deficit in 1917. yet
the claimed increase of operating ex-
penses did not warrant the conclusion
that this was anything but a tempo
rary situation. which readjustment and
economy would cause to be absorbed.
1t further seemed only reasonable to
the city council that the complainant
should stretch its extensive profits in
the four years-very prosperous years
over resulting poor years, rather than
to maintain such extensive profits at
