UTILITIES TO
HAVE HEARING
In This CITY
Trial Is Changed From State Capt.
tai to AIedO-T0 Be Held in
November.
Especial to The Argus }

Aledo. Oct. 21.-Robert L. Wat
son, city attorney of Aledo, has re-
ceiVed word from the attorneys of
the Illinois Northern Utilities COM
pany to the effect that they are will
ing to have the hearing by the Hi
nois State Commerce commission
to investigate charges set for yes
terday at Springfield, and will now
take place sometime in November.
The date will be set in the near
future by the commission at
Springfield.
The change in date is a result of
a petition sent in by City Attorney
Watson requesting such action. The
hearing is being held because of a
series of power Interruptions here
several weeks ago when there was
no water in the Aledo supply tank,
and the electric pumps used to
force water into the mains were not
in use, thus rendering the city with
out water supply. Requests made
by city officials to local officials of
the Illinois Northern Utilities COM
pany failed to bring relief, and the
council authorized City Attorney
Watson to take action to force the
power company to provide efficient
service here.
The petition for the change OF the
hearing from Springfield to Aledo
was asked because it would put the
city of Aledo to a great expense if
they had to transport their wit
nesses to the state capital. Almost
every business man of Aledo can
testify to the poor service Aledo
has been rendered, and it is expect
ed that large number will testify
at the hearing.

Especial Correspondence.l

Annawan. I'LL, Oct. 21.-The
burning of a barrel of kerosene and
a quantity of coal in the coal house
back Of Ted Williams pool room
caused a very spectacular fire at
noon yesterday. 1t is thought the
barrel leaked and that someone
tossed a cigaret butt into the coal
house, igniting the rubbish, and
then as soon as the barrel got hot
it exploded. The report was heard
throughout the town, and was in
stantly followed by the rising of
dense clouds of heavy black smoke.
The proximity eff the fire depart
ment to the scene of the blaze en-
abled the department to play the
engines on the flames in a very
short time. By strenuous efforts
the volunteers succeeded in saving
the adjoining buildings. The loss
is estimated at approximately 500.
