PROPOSALS FOR
SUPPLY ASKED
OF COMP ANIES
Ruling Is Expected Soon on
Stockholders Suit by
High Court.
LAY ASIDE ONE PLAN
MAYORS Group Decides 1t
Has No Authority to Act
on Lease Offer.

Written proposals for supplying
natural gas to the Citizens Gas
Company will be sought immedi-
ately from all owners and operators
of natural gas properties by Mayor
Reginald H. Sullivan's special gas
committee.
The committee, headed by Henry
L. Dithmer as chairman, decided on
this action late Friday at its or
ganization meeting.
In statement issued at the
close Of the meeting, the commit
tee mentioned specifically the Ken
lucky Natural Gas Company and
the Marion County Gas Corpora
ton, both of which have tentative
proposals before the committee.
The Kentucky company is seeking
permission to lay mains in the city
TO supply natural gas in wholesale
lots to twenty-three industrial firms
under contract. The company has
suggested furnishing natural gas
wholesale to the Citizens company
later.
Would Lease Plant
The committee decided it was not
authorized to consider proposals
similar to that submitted by the
Marion county company Thursday.
The company proposed to finance
acquisition of the Citizens company
by the city, and to operate the
company under lease, paying the
city a fiat annual rental fee and
also a percentage of net income.
The plan also included piping
natural gas here and mixing it with
artificial gas to increase heat units
and also reduce gas prices, making
gas available and economical for
all purposes, including heating of
homes.
The mayors committee was
named to consider. proposals for
natural gas only. Results of its
study are contingent on unfolding
of the city's right to acquire the
Citizens company under the 1905
charter provisions, by the United
States supreme court.
Court Ruling Soon
The high court is expected to
rule within a few weeks on petition
of Citizens company stock certifi-
cate holders for review of the fed
eral court decision sustaining the
city's claim.
The committee requested that any
natural gas company desiring to
communicate with the committee
address the newly-elected secretary,
City Attorney James f. Deery.
During the committee meeting,
the Kentucky company, through its
attorneys. filed a supplemental offer
to sell natural gas to the city. The
company stated that at any time
within five years after beginning
delivery of natural gas here, if the
city should take over the Citizens
company. the company would sell
its mains here to the city at cost
plus 10 per cent, less depreciation
of 2 per cent a year.
Also, it offered to sell natural gas
wholesale to the city following such
purchase, at price to be agreed on
as soon as right to lay its mains is
granted.

EXPECT CONGRESS
TO FAVOR HOOVER
BUSINESS PROGRAM
Economic Proposals Face lnves-
LEGATIONS But Probably
Will Win

Washington, Dec. 10.-(P)-Much of
President Hoover's domestic economic
program now seems destined for ulti-
mate approval in congress, although
tedious period of thorough investiga-
ton is ahead.
This prospect does not extend ne
cessarily to all his economic proposals,
nor to the tax increase plan which
must run gauntlet of tremendous
opposition by the Democratic forces,
the Republican independents Of the
senate, and others.
The new $500 900 900 reconstruction
corporation proposed by Mr.. Hoover
is one OF the measures seeming to
carry enough favor for victory. So is
the home loan discount system, the
recapitalization of federal land banks
and the revision of the national bank
laws.
A definite stand, however, has de-
veloped against the recommendation
for liberalizing the federal reserve
systems rules for discounting OF pa
per.
Turning to foreign affairs, triumph
over some opposition was seen for the
one-year moratorium proposal. More
light upon the attitude Of congress on
this rested in its reception Thursday
of the presidents message asking its
ratification.
Bills were before both branches to
carry out every important recommen-
dation in the Hoover annual message,
but there was no rush to get them
enacted. In the senate banking COM
mittee, leaders insisted upon placing
the reconstruction corporation plan in
a subcommittee for deliberate study.
Some of the other points already
have consent of congressional leaders.
The house has not yet formed COM
nnittees needed to work on most OF
the legislation. It's appropriation
group. however, is ready to bite into
the 1000 900 900 budget.
Meanwhile a continuation OF the
general debate on the presidential
plans marked house proceedings Tor
a second day, with chance for con-
tinuing the Democratic-Republican
exchanges on party policies, RESPONSE
bility for the present economic situa-
tion, and prophecies on the outcome
of the 1882 presidential campaign.
