MOORHEAD HOLDS
$l.45 GAS RATE
CONTINUED from, page 1.)


shall be started by the Moorhead city
council not later than Sept. l. Furth-
er it was proposed by the 'represen-
tatives of the company that the Moor
head committee may intervene in the
North Dakota hearing or may con-
duct an Independent investigation.
AS the company is operating in
Moorhead under a franchise fixing
the maximum rate at s1.45, there was
strenuous objection to the pro-
posed advance from the rate in eff
feet, $1.32, to 81. City Attorney J. A
Clarity advised the city council at
the July meeting, of the conditions
and he was instructed to take such
action as might be necessary to pre-
vent an advance in the rate beyond
the maximum fixed by the franchise.
May Abandon Service.
The company officials maintain
that the Moorhead franchise does
not apply to the physical property of
the company and that the gas mains
could be removed if the franchise
should be forfeited. 1t is the COM
pany's contention that gas will be
shut off from Moorhead consumers
if, after an Investigation, the fran
chise rate is insisted upon.
The matter will come before the
city council at it's next meeting Mon
DAY evening, when an investigating
committee probobly will be appoint
ed. If this committee finds the $1.45
rate to be inadequate it will have the
power to recommend a higher rate,
and this will later be submitted to
vote OF the people.
Charter Regulations.
Following are the Moorhead. charter
provisions on regulation of rates
found in Sec. ga of Chapter Four
teen, of the city charter:
THE city shall have the power to
regulate and control the maximum
rate to be charged by any corporation
or person exercising any franchise in
the city FOR service rendered by it to
the city, but such price shall be fair
and reasonable to such corporation
or person and to the public. The
manner in which such rate shall be
regulated shall be fixed by the coun-
Gil and said council shall have the
right and is hereby authorized to pre-
scribe by ordinance for the appoint
ment of commissioners to fully in
vestigate and determine all questions
with reference to rates to be chargs
ed by any such corporation or per-
son and the council may further pro-
vide by ordinance that every. person
or corporation exercising any fran
chise in the city shall pay a gross
earnings tax, provide the amount
thereof and method Of sits collection"

WHY DON'T YOU WRITE?

You are not writing to many
soldiers over there or anywhere else.
You are too busy. But that doesn't
take off the longing the soldier feels
for letters from folks at home. If
you haven't time to write, the editor
will take time. But send the adj
dresses of the boys in France or any
where in the service. The new regu-
lations do not allow sending the
newspaper, but everybody from Per-
shing down advises writing to the
boys, so write we will.
y II it Is too much trouble to send
the address by mail, get the address
in your hand and ring 45J; that's
the reporters room at the Republic
can office and just say, Here is
an address for you," and read it into
the phone till the reporter can read
it back at you to see If it is copied
right and that soldier boy will re-
ceive two letters that We know OF.
We will publish his address, and lie
may receive flock Of letters. They
say it is very trying on a good soldier
boy to attend mail call day after day
