"Do you want to put up something"
the man behind the counter asked. he is

COUNCIL MEMBER
TALKS ABOUT GAS
Continued Prom Page one)

a report has not been made The coun-
Gil VIII discuss the contract as a com
mittee OF the whole Thursday evening
and the committee IS expected 10 sive ali
the information about the provisions OF
the contract and the manner IA which IL
was evolved at this meeting.
I'VE are not going 70 adopt any fac
tious attitude" the councilman continued.
but there are two or three matters that
feel the council has a right to deter
mine for itself without being stampeded
into accepting the contract by Mr. For
rest or anybody else. One Of these mat
ters is the clause giving the gas com
pany the right TO lower pressure between
meal hours when there IS a shortage Of
gas from any cause. Isn't Il worth while
to nnd out whether this clause gives
the gas company the right TO reduce
pressure at any tlmei shouldn't there be
an addition to that clause qualifying
shortages from any cause so that short
ages from causes beyond the control Of
the company would be the controlling
factor? The contract gives the board Of
public works the power to investigate
shortages. but does not give the power
to do anything about them.
QUESTIONS
RAISED.
There Ia also n question in my mind
as 20 whether the contract gives away
the city's right to insist on COO British
thermal units quality Of gas.
"There are several questions Of a tech
nical nature that / believe the council
mould understand, so I am going to In
wife Harry German, engineer for the
Public Service Commission, to attend tho
meeting Thursday evening as a citizen,
to give US information on them.
Mr.. Forrest says this contract Is be
ing negotiated for the sole and exclu-
s.ve benefit of the citizens Of Indianapolis.
AS a matter Of fact. II the gas com
pany were not ten years behind the
times. II the gas company had kept up
with the growth Of the city this would
not have had to be done. II Is purely
by reason OF the company's default that
we have situation In which gas short
ages arc likely TO come. This statement
that all this is being done only for the
benefit OF the public is rather asininS."
The statement Of Mr. Forrest, to which
Mr.. Wilson referred, was as follows:
ut is not proper that either the city
council or the public should get the
impression that the proposed ordinance
approving the agreement between the
board OF works and the gas company
Is In any sense for the beneht or the
company. The whole program was in
itiated by the Scard of works solely for
the purpose Of protecting the public.
The board OF works, like the Public Serv-
ice Commission, has fully realized that
one Of the primary necessities Of the
community is a reasonable supply Of gas
for cooking purposes. Therefore, the
measure provides a strict priority for
cooking and other incidental domestic
needs which can not be met except by
using gas.
I'm the next place both of these public
bodies have recognized that the use Of
gas for Industrial purposes is legitimate,
and Is even essential to many of the
city's most important Industries. There
have been some statements about the
Importance Of supplying people with gas
