For months past complaints have poured into the city hall from all parts of the city that not only is the gas furnished of an exceedingly poor quality, but also that the bills are exces- sive. As one citizen put it when registering his complaint yesterday, he did mot think the people of Council Bluffs should be com- pelled to pay $1.45 per 1,000 cubic feet for wind instead of gas. Before the new con- tract with the Gas and Electric company the citizens of Council Bluffs paid $1.75 for purposes. Under the contract now in force they pay $1.45 flat for gas for both {llumi- nating and fuel purposes, plain that their bills are now greater than when the higher rates prevalled and in ad- dition the gas Is of a much poorer quality. It was expected that when the gas com- pany completed its improvements to its plant that the quality of the gas would be improved, but from all parts of the city complaints come that If anything it fis worse. One city offizial, who had tried to cut down his gas bill by installing electric lights in his residence and store, stated yesterday at the city hall, when the mat- ter was being discussed, that his gas bill for the month of February was larger than in January before he commenced using electric light for {lluminating purposes. Citizens from all parts of the city also have made complaint that month by month, no matter how they endeavor to econcmize, their gas bills assume an upward tendency. The general allegation is that the gas com- pany, by purping air through its flpes, makes the meters register the same as if gas instead of wind was passing through 1a., who have been guests of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Rishton, refurned home yesterday.

ENJOINS THE GREAT WESTERN my Objects to Grade Crossing of Its Tracks in City. Terminal Com The Omaha Bridge & Terminal Railway company is not willing that the Great Western rallroad shall cross its track on Fourteenth street hetween Ninth and Tenth avenues, unless it agrees to construct and maintain interlocking switches. This the Great Western has declined to consent to, and yesterdsy the Terminal company se- cured a temporary injunction restraining the Great Western and the sheriff's jury from condemning a right-of-way across its tracks. . In its petition flled yesterday the Ter- minal company sete up that it is incor- porated and operating under the laws ot Nebraska and has owned ;and operated a rallroad extending from Council Bluffs to Omaha for ten years. The Great Western, it asserts, desires to cross its track with four tracks on Fourteenth street at grade, and this the Terminal company will not agree to. It is willing, it states, to permit the Great Western to construct either an overhead or undercrossing, but if it per- sists in a grade crossing it must do so with interlocking switches The sheriff’s jury, consisting of J. P, Hes F. T. True, L. A. Casper, W. F. Baker, J. J. Brown and A. U. Wyman, had been summoned for Tuesday, March 10, to fix the damages which it might con~ sider the Terminal company was entitled { to by reason of the Great Western croseing | its track. Unless some agreement is reached between the two railroads before that dato the matter will have to be post~ poned, as the temporary injunction will hold good.
