denying that it would be eminently
fair to submit such plans to the
people before final action is taken.
Law Passed in 1929
There were some Missionaries in
1929 who anticipated such a ques-
ton by passing a special act. This
measure, the validity Of which is
disputed, but never decided by any
court, and which so clearly relates
to the Citizens Gas Co., provides
that
Said city shall be authorized and
entitled to accept a transfer and
conveyance of any such property in
accordance with the terms and con-
ditions of such articles of incor-
poration (of the Citizens Gas Coz
without the question of the &C
ceptance or acquisition of such
property being submitted to a vote
Of the electors of such town or city,
and without any election being held
therein to determine whether such
property shall be acquired by such
town or city.
The laws. relating to the City
Utility District and its functions has
been subjected to so many revisions,
however, that it is quite possible
that tne special act obviating an
election has been repealed.
In the suit, brought in 1929 by
stockholders of the Citizens Gas Co.,
to enjoin the taking over Of the gas
plant by the city, the Circuit Court
of Appeals held that the stockhold-
ers of the company were not in
position to contend that the city
must hold an election before it de-
termined to acquire the property,
for the reason that the articles of
incorporation of the Citizens Gas
Co., in which the stockholders held
their stock, had expressly provided
that when the stockholders received
the par value and dividends on their
shares, the property should be
turned over to the city.
Opinion of Lawyers
lilo w 90 OAlC C4LtAN VI % 1llS
that by buying stock in the Citizens
Gas Co., the stockholders had agreed
that the property might be turned
over in the manner provided in the
articles of incorporation of the
company.
Even if this holding is entirely
sound as to stockholders of the Citi-
zens Gas Co., lawyers are of the
opinion that this does not in any
way bind consumers of gas or tax
payers of the city from contending
that the policy of taking municipal
ownership and operation of the gas
company must first be submitted to
a vote of the people.
Although the public has not been
given voice in the pending trans
action, they will make it possible,
via the rate charged for gas, for the
city to meet the interest and prin-
cipal payments on the contemplated
bond issue.

neutrality" said it had taken no
new position.
The financial situation grew even
more strained, however, as private
money-raising proved inadequate.
Ambassador Walter Page at London
was cabling frantic beats in the
spring of 1917.
German submarines were playing
havoc. If we went to war, the
greatest help we could give England
and France would be big govern
ment loan. Perhaps our going to
war was the only way in which our
present pre-eminent trade position
can be maintained and a panic
averted." A world financial crash
threatened.
Ambassador James w. Gerard at
Berlin urged the government here to
embargo the export of arms unless
England permitted food to enter
Germany and members of Congress
introduced embargo bills. Lord
Grey's memoirs show that England
would have dropped the blockade if
President Wilson had threatened an
embargo, but others documents in
dictate President Wilson, Col Ed
ward House and Ambassador Page
feared a rupture with England far
more than effects of relations with
Germany.
The Commerce Department mean
while was privately taking the dol
lars and-cents attitude that good
will Of the allies was likely to be
worth more than British restrictions
had cost us. This viewpoint won.
