And so passes Hynicka, although

and his home to New York. He con-

of Cincinnati by wire.
There was a matter OF a gas rate
pending In the city council Of Gin

he could not come to Cincinnati to
advise the councilmen in relation to
this business and so there was not
that uniformity OF opinion that was
usually seen in council. Some coun-

the gas rate and some weren't.
In the midst Of this confusion
Hynicka sent a telegram Of advice
to council, and the next day many
of the councilmen who didn't want
to increase the gas rate voted to In
