WASHINGTON, July 22.-The serv-
ice-at-cost plan for the operation of
the street railways was taken up by
the federal electric railways commits
sion in resuming it's inquiry into the
street railway question.

public was satisfied The ticket fare
was six and one-half cents and cash
fare seven cents.
Culkins said thorough discussion Of
the plan in the newspapers had helped

RAISE PRICE OF
FIT. MADISON GAS
Council Allows Raise Of Rate After
Getting Court Decision Holding
Company to Its Old Con-
tract.

After getting from the federal court
a decision that the gas company can
not raise its rates under its contract
with the city, the Fort Madison city
council passed an ordinance permit
ting a raise, on it's own motion.
The gas company attempted to
raise the price of gas in Fort Madison
on the ground that the old rate caus-
ed loss and was confscatory of its
property. Judge Wade, at the end
of litigation, held that the company
was bound to live up to its franchise
contract fixing rate some years ago,
at whatever loss to 1t. 1t had been
collecting a higher rate and keeping
the excess in a special fund. and
ordered to return this to consumers.
Now, the Fort Madison city council
unanimously passed resolution al
lowing the company to raise it's rate
for gas from $1.15 to s1.65 from July
l, 1919. to February 1, 1920, and from
that date to February 1, 1922 to make
rate Of $1.45. After February 1,
1922, the rates are to return to the
present rate of S1.15.
An effort is made to prevent any
more argument, by clause provid-
ing that if the company In the mean
time shall try to secure any different
rates than these, the present low rate
of s1.15 shall become effective again
Immediately.
The city council took this action on
the ground that compelling the COM
pany to operate at heavy loss would
cause deterioration of service that
would be injurious to the city and all
consumers. Also, 1t is council COM
posed of different men than that
which fought the company through
the courts.

ICE FAMINE
AT KNOXVILLE
Local Company Quits Business and
Leaves Iowa Town to Get
Along as Best Way

KNOXVILLE, Iowa, July o.
Knoxville is up against an Ice
famine for the first time. A state
ment was made by William Grant.
head of the local ice company that
he would quit the business for the
season.
The basis of the trouble goes back
to last winter. The weather was SO
warm that no ice froze on the city
pond, where the ice for the local
trade is put up.
No ice in Knoxville works a real
hardship. 1t means that the ice
cream parlors will close down, there
being no ice cream or cold soft
drinks, and the meat shops will be
unable to get ice for their refrigera-
tors.
