At SPECIAL Meeting OF CITY COUNCIL HELD LAST EVENING

OHIO OIL CO., WAS GIVEN % YEAR FRANCHISE TO
FURNISH GAS To The CITY OF RAWLINS

not ever ask that the matter be post
poned for a short time until his in
ve5tigation could be completed.
Provisions OF Franchise Discussed.
In order that every citizen of Raw
Inns might know exactly what the
franchise submitted by the Wyoming
Gas Company contained Mayor Kell
asked that it be read paragraph by
paragraph and that every citizen
present feel free to discuss the var
ious sections.
City Attorney Roster read the
franchise section by section and many
citizens present asked questions con
corning it II made suggestions
which they believed would make the
franchise better from the standpoint
Of the citizens of Rawlins.
The representatives of the Wyo-
ming Gas Company were more than
fair and accepted several proposed
changes. They also answered fully
many questions asked of them.
Mr.. Seelery stated that II of the
biggest and best gas fields in the en-
tire west lies right at the back door
of Rawlins and that any manufac-
turers who were looking for a loca-
ton where cheap fuel could be OBJ
tanned would Of necessity have to
come to Rawlins to locate.
Supt. Woolery stated that it was
the desire of his company to place
this gas in Rawlins at the earliest
possible moment as they already have
two producing gas wells in the Ma
honey Dome and are ready to begin
drilling of a third well. These gas
wells are not producing a cen of
revenue now, SO the sooner this line
to Rawlins is completed the sooner
a ven will be derived from the
wells.
Criticism Asked
Following the reading of the fran,
chise Mayor E. A. Kell asked If any
person present had further questions
to ask and whether any one presen1
had any objections to the granting Of
the franchise.
Not a person present had any
further suggestions to make or an,
objections.
After a short discussion by the
trustees a motion was made that the
rules be suspended and that the
franchise be granted to the Wyoming
Gas Company.
Trustees Hadsell. Perret and Lar
sen all voted affirmatively.
In next weeks issue OF The Repub-
lican the franchise will be published
in Its entirely.

Greenfield gave his reasons for ask
ing for this franchise. He stated
that himself and associates had been
working on the proposition of secur-
ing gas for Rawlins for some time
and late in November he went to
Casper, where he put the proposition
before a representative of the New
York Oil Co. This company was
very much interested in the PROPOSE
ton and told Mr.. Greeneld to go
ahead and secure a franshise and
! that they would finance the PROPOSE
ton.
Acting upon this promise Mr..
Greenfield made application for the
franchise. The matter vas held up
until the applicant could secure from
the Wyoming Public Service COM
mission a certificate Of necessity.
Monday of this week Mr.. Green
field received word from the New
York Oil Company to the effect that
it would be impossible for that COM
pany to finance the construction of
a gas line to Rawlins Just at this
time.
Stating that he did not wish to de-
lay the securing of gas in Rawlins a
single day Mr. Greenfield asked that
MS dppIlCatiON De Withdrawn because
Of the fact that although himself
and associates had had considerable
work done on the matter they were
not able just at the present time to
finance the construction of a line.
Mr.. Greenfield stated hat it was
never the intention Of himself and
associates to dispose Of the fran
chise should they secure it but that
it was their intention to bring the
gas into the city themselves with the
financial backing Of the New York
Oil Company.
r. Il. l.. q F. DO Not Apply.
Jas. Potts, manager of the Raw.
Inns Electric Light & Fuel Co., who
last week was granted a certificate o.
necessity by the Wyoming Public
Service Commission. stated to the
Council that his company would not
make application for a franchise.
Mr.. Potts also stated that while
his company was interested in the
proposition very much the pace was
a little too fast for them and that
they would not be able to make ap.
plication for some time due to the
necessity of their making a complete
Investigation and survey Of the propo.
sition.
In order that there might not be
any delay in securang gas for Raw
Inns, Mr.. Potts stated that he would

support OF an appreciative community.
In manner and personality he was lovable and kind. With

be turned over to her. Mrs. Wissler
had a note from ]. E. McGill. who
claimed to be the original owner of
the boiler. %instructing Mrs. Peterson
to deliver same to the bearer OF the
note.
The testimony further disclosed
that the defendant refused to recog-
nize the ownership to the boiler of
Mr.. MeGill and that she refused to
deliver up the aforesaid wash boiler.
One word led to another until
tually words became worthless and
fists we're resorted to.
Following the argument Mrs.
Wissler swore out a complaint
against Mrs. Peterson charging as
sault and battery. When the case
came for trial before Justice OF the
Peace w. c. Summons Of Medicine
Bow that judge was sworn off the
bench and a change Of venue was
asked before Judge Dunlap Of this
city.
In the trial here yesterday County

Second Episode.

stand who swore that he had pur-
chased said boiler. One witness, Mrs.
Wissler. stated that she had pur-
chased the boiler from Mr.. McGill
some time prior to the filing Of the
replevin suit.
Taken altogether Judge Dunlap
decided that the wash boiler had had
a life and thai as far as
the evidence disclosed r. II. Peter
son had a better right to the wash
boiler than anyone else and rendered
his decision against J. f. McGill.
The costs of the action was assess
ed against the plaintiff and the case
dismissed.
