At ( ho regular meeting , of HIP city council
on Monday evening , April 2 , a question wilt
come up for discussion In which nearly
every citizen Is vitally Interested. H Is
whether or not the council nhall renew fern
n term uf five yearn tlio contract wltli tbu
Council muffs Oas and ttlcctrlc Light com
pany under which the city U furnished
130 arc lights nt an annual coat of $1)2 ) for
this year , $90 next , nnd so , on. There Is u
strong feeling of opposition to the renewal
of tills contract , and a movement Is now on
foot which will undoubtedly seek lo prevent
It by legal steps If the council shows n
deposition to disregard the wlshua of those
who are In favor of something which will
break Iho back of thla monopoly.
According to the statement of a gentleman
who Is actively Interested In the movement ,
the electric light company Is doing , business
In this rlty without the shadow of n legal
right. It had n charter np to 188 ! ) . One
year before It expired the legislature passed
a law prohibiting the granting of any pub
lic franchise to any private corporation with
out first submitting to the voters of the city
the question of whether such franchise
should bo granted. In spite of thu fact that
this statute wa on the books , the city coun
cil In ISS'J went on nnd renewed the gas
company's charter. Since then the supreme
court | IIH : decided the law constitutional ,
so the charter of 18S9 Is void and thu com
pany's gau mains nnd electric poles and
wires are cumbering the streets by public
sufferance.
These who are opposed to the renewal of
the clty'H contract with Ihe company for
furnishing light base their opposition on
the worthlpssnesa of the company's charter ,
and this , It Is nald , will be the legal ground
upon which an Injunction will be asked ,
providing ouch u move proves to be neces
sary.
( Jas Is sold at $2 per 1.000 feet In Council
Dluffs. In Jackson , Mich. , It costs 30 ccntH ,
In Chicago It Is manufactured at a cost of
a trifle over SO cents and sold at n big profit
at ? 1.U5 ; In Terre Hitute , 1ml , , It costs ! I5
ccnta ; In Pullman , 33 cents ; In Hyde Park ,
HO cents. In ull of these cltlcn und towns
water gas Is furnished , which , It Is claimed ,
Is far superior to the water gas made by
the company here. In Wheeling , \V. Va. ,
coal gas Is manufactured ut an expense of
40 cents per 1,000 and sold to consumers for
75 cents. It Is claimed that gas could bo
sold In Council Dluffu at not moro than $1
per 1,000 and still leave the company u
handsome prollt.
In Richmond , Mo. , a town of 3,000 Inhabit
ants , In which the light plant him only
thirty-seven arc burners , consumers pay $100
a yc.tr for each burner. Hero , with a plant
ten times as laigc , but not nearly ten times
UB expensive , consumers pay $1CO for arc
lights , while the city pays $92 for each arc
burner It uses. In Uloomlngton , III. , the
same lights cost $ .10 per year.
"Tho plan that has been suggested , " re
marked one of the opposing citizens yester
day In conversation on the nibject. "Is that
Instead of grunting a charter lo this company
for another twenty years or so , a stock com
pany should be organized among the citizens
to put In a new gas and electric light system ,
at a cost of about $200,000. Iy far the
greater part of this amount could bo bor
rowed , EO that a comparatively small amount
would be needed as an Investment. The un
derstanding should bo that the gas and
electricity should be manufactured nnd sold
at absolute cost , and the clly should have
the right at any time to purchase the entire
plant from the stock company by paying the
amount Invested with interest at 7 per cent ,
and assuming the mortgage. Indebtedness. "

day In the suit of Hoffman against Altmau-
spergcr , In which the plaintiff sued to re
cover some property which ho hud deeded
to the defendant In return for the latter'i
agreement tu euro for him during the re

Homo of HlH Opponent * Wnnt lo MnUc the
.Superior Court un Inferior Court.
A bill with a very Innocent appearing
heading was Introduced In the legislature ,
nnd BO Innocent did It appear that some
who were on the alert found great difficulty
In finding the bill , Its title being simply to
direct u slight change In the statutes of the
state. The move was detected and killed
In the committee. It was then thought
that the danger had passed and there would
be no moro threatening of the woolsack ,
but now It come * to light that another
move has been made to cut down the Juris
diction of the superior court , limiting the
amount which can be determined In this
tribunal ut $7.000. At present the court
bus concurrent jurisdiction with the dis
trict court In civil matters nnd to cut down
the limit of the legal play , as suggested ,
Would simply lessen the amount of con
venience afforded by this court , while the
expense would remain the same. In other
words , the taxpayers are to be called upon
to pay just the same , but submit to having
less for their money. The purpose of the
move seems so apparent that it Is not be
lieved that the legislators will be duped
into crystalling It Into n law. Neverthe
less , lest In haito or without sufficient
knowledge of the facts , the legislators might
be led Into such foolishness , a remonstrance
Is being circulated among members of the
bar and the business men and the repre
sentatives from this section will be urged
to defeat the move. Aside from the ap
parent motive back of the move It Is urged
that If the superior court Is to be main
tained nt all It should afford all the-ac
commodations now c'ven. ' It Is too expen
sive and efficient a bit of legal machinery
to bo sot at work simply on Justice of the
peace cubes , and when the legislators fairly
understand the situation they will doubtless
tuck the bill In som6 quiet pigeon-hole.
