INVESTIGATING
GAS FRANCHISE
Committee AMiiited by Mayor Rod
gers Securing Information Re
garding Gas riant for City
The gas plant investigation com
mlttee. consisting of Messrs. Harris,
Hampton, Guthrie, Newberry, Rum
er and Dole, appointed by Mayor
Rodgers at a recent council meeting,
have been securing information from
various sources relative to plants for
cities the size of Alliance.
Mr. Harris, chairman of the com
mittee, has received a proposed fran
chise from the Gas Construction
Company of Omaha. J. C. Martin,
of this company, who sends the pro
posed franchise, was In Alliance at
the time his committee was appoint
ed and is familiar with local condi
tions. In his letter accompanying
the proposed franchise Mr. Martin
says:
"The franchise does not provide
for any purchase of the plant by the
city as we do not put that in unless
the city desires it. If they wish to
have that right reserved in cities of
the second class we put It in
"In cities of the first class of which
Alliance Is one, the conditions are
different in that the statute express
ly provides the method and terms
tipon which cities may take over
public service corporations. It pro
ides for the appointment of three
residents of the city to appraise the
plant. Under this statutory provis
ion your city can act whenever they
desire, and neither your city nor
ourselves can change that law by
any agreement of ours. You will
see that the purchase clause is un
necessary In any event
The franchise, as proposed by the
Gas Construction Company, is as fol
lows:

Readers of The Herald were pleased to learn last week
that the merchants of Alliance had decided to offer them spec
ial bargains on another Dollar Day. The date set is next
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20TH
You are urged to look carefully through the advertising col
umns of the paper and to patronize the merchants who are ad
vertising for your trade.' A dollar will go a long ways next
Saturday if these ads are carefully read and the bargains of
fered therein are taken advantage of.
FREE TICKETS TO IMPERIAL MATINEE
As a special Dollar Day inducement, with every purchase
of a Dollar Day Bargain, a ticket to the Saturday afternoon
matinee at the Imperial Theatre will be given. Manager Du
buque of the Imperial has arranged a good program for Satur
day afternoon and you will enjoy the show. Remember, a tick

all mains and pipes be laid to the
grade established by the city.
Further investigation is being
made by. the committee. They may
recommend that a municipal plant
be established or may recommend
further changes In the proposed
franchise. In order to grant a fran
chise it will be necessary to put it to
a vote at an election. If the propo
sition carried it would then be up to
the city council to grant the fran
chise. A three-cornered proposition
may be submitted to the voters, as
follows:
1. Shall a gas plant be Installed
in the city of Alliance?
2. Shall bonds be Issued for a
municipal plant?
3. Shall a franchise be granted
to a private company?

II. R. No. 127 passed the house of
representatives at Lincoln Tuesday
by a vote of 60 to 27. This Is the
bill Introduced by Representative
Broome of Alliance which allows cit
ies of 5,000 to 25,000 to levy a spec
ial tax not greater than five mills
for a commercial and advertising
fund, when submitted to popular
vote and ratified. The bill will
probably pass the state senate and
become a law. This would allow
Alliance to make a levy which would
raise approximately $2,500.
