A committee from tho city commission
and the legal department will confer on
the advisability of calling a special elec
tion to vote the gas company a new
franchise under the terms embodied In
the bill which pawed the last legislature
guaranteeing gas to private consumers
at not more than $1 per 1,000 cubic feet.
Police Commissioner Ryder. City Com
missioner Butler and C. H. Wlthnell,
commissioner of fire department and
water supply, represent the city council.
This Is the samo committee which con
ferred with the officials of the gas com
pany and effected the compromise which
resulted In the drafting of the $1 gas
bill.
"Since there Is no regular election until
1914, a special election will be called."
aid Assistant C?ity Attorney Lambert,
who han.lled the dollar gas controversy
for the city. "We have not decided when
tins election will be held. It will not bo
for the purpose of granting the gas com
pany an extension of their franchise, but
to give the company a new franchise
which shall not be for a longer period
than twenty-five years, and the city will
have tho power to purchase the plant at
ten-year Intervals.
No Perpetnnl Frnnchtae.
"The bill as amended and as passed
by the legislature expressly provides
against a perpetual franchise, and It fur
ther expressly provides that gas shall
at no time be sold to consumers for more
than $1 per 1,000 cubic feet."
'An ordinance must first he drafted
calling tho special election," said Police
Commissioner Ryder. "The committee
from tho city council will meet to con
fer with the legal department soon. Until
then no definite arrangements can bo
made."
Lambert said It was probable tho ordi
nance granting a franchise would state
that tho period tho franchise was to run
would he twenty-five years, although the
bill provides that the franchise may be
granted for a lesser period.
Relief Workers at
Auditorium Find
Their Desks Moving j
J. V. Hayward and his corps of stenog-
raphers employed in tti re::er work at
the Auditorium stood around holding
their thumbs yesterday whllo their
desks, typewriters nnd uiunters were i
blng torn up and loaded In wagons. "1 I
didn't know a thing about It." wld Mr. '
Hayward. "I was under tho Impression i
we were to move to the new location
this evening." In tho meantime the
women who had arrived to take charge
of their relief desks ns befor- had to
Jump up from their desks as the work
men pulled down the plank counters and
disconnected tho telephone wires. Every
one was asking everyono else who had
ordered the breaking up of camp, yet no
cno In the crowd had authority to stop It.
Suddenly J. M. Guild, In charge of the
headquarters, appeared In tho door. Ho
had arrived from the Commercial club.
He shot a glance at tho wreck of what
had been headquarters and shouted:
"Who ordered this?"
Tho crowd of helpless workers huddled
In the middle of the room Btood for a
moment silent, and then one spoke:
"Captain Stritzlngcr ordered It."
Mr. Guild sought out Captain Strlt-
zlnger and found that tho captain had
ordered tho supply departments cleared,
and that the workmen had set to work
tearing up everything they saw.
"This won't do." said Guild. "It's like
the chargo of tho light brigade. Some
one has blundered." The next Instant,
by orders of Mr. Guild and Captain Strlt
ztnger, the desks and planks were placed
back where they belonged, the telephone
wires were again connected and the
stenographers and relief workers took
their old stands and began to do business.
The plan had been that the headquar
ters department should move Inst even
ing. If the moving had been allowed to
go on the workers would have found
themselves In the new location, 313 South
Fifteenth street with no facilities for
work.
