FAVOR A Sale
At a Special Meeting in This
City They ask Board to
Sell Plant to the
CITY.
SOME OPPOSITION
Minority Stockholders In
clined to Oppose Sale
to City.

At special meeting called in this
city Thursday, he stockholders of the
7 Webster City Gas company voted to
instruct the board of directors of that
concern to accept the tentative offer
of 100000 for the plant and business,
offered by Mayor r. G. Clark Of this
city, subject to the will of the voters,
AZ expressed at a special election to be
called later.
Some Opposition.
There was considerable opposition,
especially gamOng some of the smaller
stockholders, to letting the plant 60
at that price. NJ. F. GoodbOdy Of On
aha, owner of the majority stock, how
ever, was insistent upon letting it so,
as he cannot give 1t his personal at
tcntiOn and it was finally voted to az
cept the city's tentative offer. Mr..
Go0dbody was represented Mt the
meeting here by Attorney Maxwell! Of
Omaha. G. D. DoOlittle Of Des MOines.
one OF the minority stockholders, who
was present at the meeting, was much
opposed to accepting the city's offer.
He holds that the plant is WORT, twice
the price offered and he states that
!. even with the present high prices. the
Igas company has been able to meet all
Expenses. paying interest, taxes, etc,
and with proper extensions he feels
that it would be a good investment,
even at the present price of gas.
City's Plan.
IT. is the plan of the city council to
buy the plant and operate it as a
municipal utility. The action Of the
Scompany's stockholders yesterday
makes it certain that within few
days the city will get an acceptance Of
Z its offer from the hoard of directors Of
the company. They later will meet in
Omaha, where they will formally pass
d resolution accepting the city's offer.
Petitions for an election will then
be circulated here and att the election
the voters will be asked to vote bonds
!. 6f "a sufficient amount to permit the
city'to; buy the plant and to add some
further equipment to it. The city cOnn-
ell believes that the plant can be
bought at, no actual expense to the tax
payers of Webster City. Their idea
is to issue bonds and to pay the inter-
est ON them and, from time to time,
to- take up the principal out of the
earnings Of the plant. This would
mean no outlay to the taxpayers. The
city intends, also, to furnish better
grade Of gas and to keep the plant
well equipped and 'up-tO-date In every
way, as well as to extend the mains.

the case of Gretchen Gordon and Mar
garet Boswell, fourteen year old school

girls. stated that they stole the Butler
car purposely to get into trouble, as
they were-with probably no reason

would rather be in the reform school.
County Attorney Burnstedt will

given the privilege of going to their
homes here with instructions to their
parents that they be kept at home.
