GATHERING COURT WORK FACTS
Legislative Committee Sends Out
Questionnaires Over Kansas.

An organized move to gather in
formation relative to district court
work in Kansas was started here to-
day by Tom Harley. representative
from Douglas county and chairman of
the joint committee on judicial reap
portionment. The committee was
named during the recent session of the
state legislaturel
Questionnaires covering in detail the
work of various district judges are
being mailed to all district court
clerks. The returns will show the
number of cases filed ana tried in
each district during the period of five
years. 1t will also show the number
of days of court work in each county
each year. Information will be Sc
cured as to the number of cases con-
tested, length of the average daily
court session. The committee is also
gathering information as to railroad
service between counties in the larger
districts.
Based on the returns. a general 5u-
diciaI e-appottionment bill will be
framed som etine this fail. The meas
ure will go before the state legisla-
ture-probably as a committee bill
sometime during the coming session.

IN PLEA FOR DOLLAR GAS
Topeka Company Says It Needs Money
to Pay Interest.

In order to earn per cent on its
investment, the local gas distributing
company must charge a 81 flat rate
and a 50-cent service charge. That
was the testimony before the indus
trial court in the latest of a series of
gas hearings during the last nine
years. The testimony was given by
L. J. Treleaven, receiver for the Con-
sumers' Light, Heat & Power COM
pany.
Treleaven explained that a charge
of $17.756.42 for court costs and at
torneys' fees was largely for services
rendered several years ago. He said
the company did not have the money
with which to pay the bills at that
time. Net income of the company for
last year was given at $50, 272.3S. The
records showed operating expenses of
$445, 0S3.20, while operating revenues
were -s465,355.5S.
Court judges inquired as to use of
additional revenues allowed by Judge
Booth of the federal court. Several
gas Representatives explained the
money had been used for betterments.
A number of records were produced to
show the manner in which this money
was used by the companies.
