It is not In effect and the hills which become payabl May 1 wIll be computch en the basis of tin reduction. The iirosent rate Is $1.70 per 1,00 feet , wIth 10 cents oft for cash.

The Omaha Gao Manurtucturing companl vae organIed In 1867 nod received a twenty five-year franchise fron the , city ; subject t such reasonable restrictIons as might ho tm posed as the cost of nirtiufacture becaini cheapeiied. This fraiichi're was praitlcalll exclusive in its nature. The L'ate constitu tion knocked out the monopoly by the pro vision that no exclueve fruunchlsea rultoulti b granted in the streets of any city In Nebraska braska , and for sonic years repeated attenipti were made by outside capitalists to breal into tile field previously enjoyed ox elusively by thro local concern. Tin United Gas Improvement company , which was composed of Philadelphia capitalists entered the arena In 1883 , and finaill eacured a thirty-year franchise. Thu was rctrictcd , however , by the corrditionr that the maximum prieo to consumers sitonit not eicceed $2 , rind that gat for all publk buIldIngs , including school houses , aimould he furnIshed at $1.25 per 1 000 feet. It war also provided that thio city mIght purchiasc ( ho plant at any time after the expiration ol fifteen Years. The local conr.pany macIc euch a determined fight against the neW concnm that th Phil adeiphia people finally agreed to a cornS promise , by which they purhaseJ a large amount of thin stock of the local company at a liberal price. Tire result was that the thirty-year franchise was never accepted and thto gas buelnesa of the cIty rcmainz under ( lie nominal control of the local organization to this day. The Nebraska and Kansas Gas arnilleat- ing company obtained a franchica in Omaha in 1887. but lcwao so hedged about by re etrictions that ft ivaa' never accepted. Tire council made It bligatory on the newborn - pany to furnish gas to private conurners for illuminating purposes for $1.25 , and to the city for $1 , while tlio maximum price of fuel gas was fixed at 75 cents. CONSUMPTION OF GAS. ' The Nebraska Gas Fuel' ' company obtaIned a forty-year franchise In 1888 , but. as the company was unwilling to make any guar- airtees there were never any practical results. The twenty-five year franchise of the Oriiaha Gas Manufacturing company cxpiret in 1803 , but the company continued to fur. nisir gao at the old prhccm for severalmontha. Finally an ordinance was introduced in the city council and railroaded through on the following evening , which granted a franchise for fifty years on conditions that were die- , covered to be extremely unfavorabie to the : lty. The Bee at cnce calicO attention to ( lie weakness of the proposed ordinance and the Dommercial elib and other business organl- rations led in insisting on an amendment. Fhrt agitation resulted in the ubstitution of Lire present ordinance , which was agreed Lo by all parties concerned , paeaecl by the' ouncIl and signed 'by Mayor Hernia. The increase in the consumption of gas to rome extent indicatee the dveiopment of ire ciiy. In 1880 the total annual coneump- Ion \yao only 10,000,000 cubic feet. In 1894 : Ire aggregate am ount of gas sold for all urposcs wan 155,103,789 and in 1805 the otal reached 161,214,470. With tue rdditional reduction in the price intl the Increased use of fuel gas t Is expected that ( lie consumption tvill reach iose to tiio 200,000,000 mark at the end of ho present year.
