Judge W. H. Munger. HEARING IS SET FOB JULY 12 is Company Contends It Cannot Af ford to Sell Consumers Gas at One Dollar Per Thousand Cublo Feet. Citizens of Omaha are not to enjoy the privileges of dollar gns for some time to come. An order restraining the city from putting the dollar gas ordinance, recently passed, into effec't, was granted the Omaha Gas company Saturday morning by Judge W, H. Munger In the l.'nlted States circuit court. The hearing for a temporary In junction has been set for 9:30 o'clock on the morning of July 12. The papers were filed by the gas com pany Friday night after the ordinance had been signed by Mayor Pahlman and the City of Omaha was made the defendant In, the case. It is the contention of the gas company In It petition that dollar ga would not yield a sufficient revenue to pay stockholders Interest on their Investments and also that the ordinance la confiscatory. The ordinance was drawn and passed on the suggestion ot Assistant City Attorney William C. Lambert, who claimed that the city , had the right to regulate the rate of the company. Irrespective of the fact that the gas company has a franchise which does not expire for seven years to com and in which the gas company agrees to furnish gas at the rate of 11.25 per thousand cubic feet, less 10 cents. If paid before the 10th of the mouth. Denies night to IteKnlate. The gas company makes a second claim that the council has no right to regulate the gas rates, as the franchise Is still in effect and a stipulated price . for gas per 1.CO0 cubic feet Is named in It, and It is con sidered no less than a contract with the city. The Omaha Ga company about ' two week ago offered to sell gas to the city for lighting purposes for fl per 1,000 cubln feet, which the city will accept Frank T. Hamilton, as' president of the Omaha Gas company, has reta'ned W. M. Herd man and Geurnsey, I'arker Miller as council for his company and the re straining order was Issued after, a bond for So.0u) had been filed. The various book keepers at the gas company have signed sworn affidavits as to the conditions of the company, and the papers have also been filed in the federal court. An enplnrer by the name of Jartsen Haines of Des Moines, and known over the country as an expert in the gas business, made an investigation of the Omaha Gas company plant and has filod .a long state ment giving his reasons why the dollar gas would not prove profitable for the stockholders. He said: "In my opinion the value of the property ot the Omaha Gas company exceeds the sum of 4.!feu,340, without making a careful detailed Inventory of the company's prop erty aud basing an appraltutl of It value Women's Silk Hosiery lisle trunk tops and lisle soles, all silk with all silk soles; some silk embroid ered boots, white, tan, black and light colors; worth up Sri rQ to $1.75 pair, at OOOC The "Columbia" Make WOMEN'S MERCERIZED HOSIERY.

I know that a rate of II per- thousand cubic feet of gas will' not yield the gas company a net Income, after dedutt.ng cjst ot manufacturing and distribution, repairs, taxes, imposts and making reasonable al lowance for depreciation sufficient, to pri vide Interest and profit on the value of the property of the Omaha Gas company used and useful In the gas business In Omaha In excers ot 3 per cent per annum upon such Invested capital. "I believe the limitation of consumption of gus per capita in Omaha has been prac tically reached, and that the amount of such consumption will be and cannot bs materially Increased by decreasing the rate per thousand cubic feet of gas sold from 11.13 to 1 It Is my belief that the In crease In consumption In gas per capita In Omaha, if any, will not result in any ma terial decrease In ithe cost of manufactur ing, it the co.it of taxes, nor In the cost of depreciation, nor In any material In crease In Interests ar.d profits to ths Onaha Gas company. , ' "The Increase In gas ss.les. If any, which may come to the Omaha Oa company, must be obtained from an Increase In pop ulation and the growth and development of buildings on many streets and many part of the city, which are not now sup plied with gas, and which will require the expenditure of large sum of money for main, services, meters and additions to the manufacturing pluat from year to year. "The Omaha Gas company cannot obtain funds wherewith to make the extensions mentioned, to its distribution system and manufacturing plant unless It csn show to investors, desirous of Investing then- money In the gas business In Omaha, that such extensions to its distribution system and improvements to Its manufacturing plant will pav a reasonable Interest and profit on the money invested by them." Mayor Dahlman said Saturday morning that it was the opinion of the city attorney that the city would be able to defeat the gas company In 'the courts and that ha was of the same opinion. "However." he raid, "we will fight them from the word go and to the finish."
