Abandon Attempt to Prove that Dol

CONTEST POWER OF COUNCIL

Authority to ItrRulatc Itntes or
Kilter Contractu tor Ilntcn
nt Fixed Klfcnres.
Attorneys for tho Omaha Gas com
pany In tho suit to enloln the enforce
ment of tho dollar gas ordinance have,
W. II, Herdman announces, abandoned
tho attempt to pruvo that dollar gas Is
confiscatory and will confine the case
to the question of the city council's power
to regulate ratoa and enter Into con
tracts for rates at a certain figure for a
fixed period.
Tho death of the expert who ap
praised the property of tho gaB plant for
the city and who reported that I gas
could be sold at a profit and, that 93
cent gas was possible with a few changes
In tho gas company's system, raised a
question an to whether his testimony
would have to be supplemented by other
expert testimony.
This new movo on the part ot the gas
company leaves the city frco to carry
on the case without going to any addi
tional expense to prove that gas sold at
(1 per 1,000 cubic feet would be remuner
ative. Gas company attorneya will, in a fow
days, reply to the city's answer, In which
city attorneys accused tho attorneys nnd
other representatives of the gas company
of "monkeying with legislators and using
Ill-advised methods" of seourlng the pas
sago of certain legislation favorable to
the company.
Attorney Herdman says the gas com
pany "will not admit that all of the al
legations in tho city's answer are truo,"
because some of them are too sweeping.
