Important Qdsstion'
MAYOR NOTIFIES THE CITY COUNCIL
Cull Attention tu tlir Present Itutr
mid .SiiKKests tho Propriety of
CuttliiK It to n Heumin
nble I'lmire.
The gas rato agitation has now reached
uch proportions as to warrant tho predlc
tlon that dome action regulating the rates
will bo taken by tho city council In the near
future. Tho general opinion seems to bo
that tho rates to bo fixed by the new ordl
nanco will not bo as low an those in forco
In other Missouri river cttlco, but that a
considerable reduction over tho present
rates will be made.
In obedience to tho popular demand, Mayor
Jennings has submitted a communication In
regard to this nubject to tho council, of
which tho following la a copy:
To the Honorable Members of tho City
Council: Gentlemen In reg.ird to the set
tlement of rates to be paid by the .city and
private consumers for gas furnished to
them, I desire to suggest thnt under the
laws of this state tho council has a right
and It Is their duty to fix tho rates to
the consumers, but tho council has no
power under the law to place any limita
tions or restrictions upon this rate. The
right Is absoUite, regardless of the fact
that a contract or agreement to tho con
trary muy have been In form made.
Our citizens are now paying $1.75 for il
luminating gus and $1.50 for mechanical
gas. If these prices are beyond whut is
a fair and reasonable price it Is the duty
of this council to fix by ordinance or other
wise a fair and reasonable comuensntlon
at which gus shall bo furnished to con
sumers. Tho fact that the price Bhull be fulr and
rcusonnble Is the only limitation Imposed
by law upon the council.
If tho prices paid are greater than what
Is fair and reasonable, rates should be
reduced so as to conform to tho true basis.
Our citizens have a right to expect us
to protect them against the extortion of
exorbitant rates, nnd, on the other hand,
the person, firm or corporation furnishing
such gas has a right to a. fair and reason
able compensation for what Is furnished
to consumers.
It Is therefore a matter of great im
portance that this council should at once
determine ns to what Is a fair and reason
able compensation for the gas furnished
our consumers, and they should, as soon
us possible, tlx the rate to be paid by our
citizens for the gns furnished by any
person, firm or corporation.
All of which Is respectfully submitted.
VICTOPv JENNINGS, Mayor.
