GAS FRANCHISE DISCUSSED Officials of the City and Company Try to Reach an Understanding. FACTS BROUGHT OUT IN THE CONFERENCE What Profits Are Made on the Investment ~Cost of Product Lower Prices to Consamer and Parchasing ase Lnsisted On. A conference was held yesterday after noon in the rooms of the president of the council in the city hall that had for its pur pose the reaching of a botter understanding regarding the relative positions of the citi s and the Omaha Gas Manufacturing company on the franchise it is proposed to grant the company. While no direct re sults were accomplished, n better under: standing was arrived at and a more har monious feeling was engendered among the confiicting forces. Those present were P Rosewater, Gas Ingvector Gilbert, Councilm Whes Howell, Jacobsen, Hascall and Slsasser, representing the city officials: W 8. Poppleton and J. L, Kennedy, the citizens; Frank Murphy, president of the gas com- pany and Randall Morgan of Philadelphia, who is connceted with the compavy. Mr. Edward Rosewater n while the meet- ing was in prozress, did Councilman Munro. Mayor Bemis Presents Figures, Mayor Bemis, who had called the gentle men together, said that the purpose of the conference was to mect the gas issue squarely and have a free discussion upon the propositions as they presented themsclves. Hia Dalieved that the disposition on the part of all_was to act in a spivit of fairn to the company and at the time amply protect the interests of the ¢ zens, The mayor then presented figure showing an approximate estimate of the cost of manufacturing and distributing gas. The figures were those prepaved by Gas Inspector Gilbert at the time the council was considering the advisability of the city's owning a plant, ed upon an investment of £1,000,000 the estimate showed would cost to manufacture and dist each 1,000 feet of gas 54 cents. Morgan Made it Much Higher. Then there was a flood of discussion turned loose. and it did not accomplish anything un- til Mr. Morgan figured it out that it cost his company $L.11 per 1,000 feet. instead of b4 cents, to manuficture and distribute the gas., Mr. Morgan also estimated that there 1t vested in the Omaha plant $1,600,000 Here is the way he figured it out One hundred miles of mains, & 000; services and meters, $200,000; holders, §200,000; generati purifying apparatus, stable 8 te., $200,000; cash capital $100,000; total, $1,450,000; real estate not included. Mr. Kennedy wanted to know how much actual money had been put into the plant outside of profits. Mr. Morgan did mot answer. except to say that he did not beliey the source from which the money was de- rived made any difference. Mayor Bemis in- quired if it not a fact that there was #500000 of the original stock, all paid upathat the company hud bonded itself for £300,000 and that $300,000 had been loaned by the parent company. Mr. Morgan said such was thecase, He also said that the stockholders had never received a cent in dividends and thatall profits had been in- vested for twenty-five years in construction. Electricity Had Lessened Profits, Mr. Morgan said that electricity had cut in on the business of the gas company so that it had not increased at all satisfactorily. He thought A franchise for twenty-five years was uu- wise for the best interest of the c He said that the company ought to have from B to 10 per cent in profits to distribute among the stockholders. Under the vreseut ordin- ance he did not think 6 per cent could be earned. Mr. Munro wanted a provision in the fran- chise similar to that in the old, that when a new process cheapens the price of produc- tion the rate to the consumer shall be re duced also. The question was discussed at length and Mr. Hascall did not believe it practical. s Inspector Gilbert cited an instance where it had worked to good advantage and that was when the new process was introduced in Omaha and effected a reduction of 50 per cent, Wanted a Parchasing Clause, Mr. Munro also wanted it provided the city could acquire the plant b and that by arblit value of the wor should be t the franchise. Mr. Poppleton i Mr. Kenvedy also insisted upon this_poiut, r. Saunders did not believe in the cquiring the v ng to the stockholders: “Here your money, Go elsewhere and invest.” Hascall thougnt such a pro M WAS UnDecessary Mvr, Morgan thought that it would be if the city would agree to buy ata certain time. Otherwise he did not. The suggestion was made that the com- pany should be compelled to make the con- nections to the curb, as it does now. M, aunders said that the judiciary committe would report back such an umendment with the ordinanc Mr. Kennedy called that the company is only on graded streets. should do 0 on ail streets, sisted that this was unfair, e satisfactory to putin pipes temporavily on ung treets, and when changed to Buit grade the should reimburse the company for the first outlay, It was then Morgan that the comptroller ov other officer designated by the mayor and conncil should have nccess to the sales books of the cowpany to verily the statements filed showing the sales of gas. He also expressed o willingness that the rouncil should be notiied of any ussignment of the franchise. These two agreements will be incarporated into the ordindnce. Reduction in Price Iusisted” On, My, Kennedy then brought up the ques- Yion of a reluction in the price of gas to the ronsumer. He said that the unanimous sentiment among the people s that-there should be an immediate reduction. Mr. Elsuss sted that #1.50 for illuminat: g g zus. with royalty to the city of 2 cents per 1,000 feet would be about right. A slight objection was raised by Mr. Has- eall to the proposition for the company to pay the city a percentage of its revenues. My, Edward Rosewater said fhat it was question of establishing a precedont on the value of franchises to be eveafter granted. He thought that the time nda arrived when the city should not throw away any valuable franchises, but should receive something for them My Hascall wanted whatever there was in the way of reduction to go to the consumers of gas and no one else. Mayor Bemis thought should go 1o the taxpayers and in chat w the poorer classes would be benefited, Ho suggested thatsuch o great friend of the laboring man as Mr. Hascall should seo this, City's Int Mr., RRosewat ouid receive and Mayor Bemis, City City Attorney Connell, a Saunders, ns that purchase, ion; also that only the attention to the fact quired to lay its mams Ho velieved it Me.
