Council Meeting.
From th fac that certain portions
of the franchise submitted to the City
Council by Col. Tom Stewart, of Win
chester, at the last meeting of that
body were not acceptable to some of
the members action in regard to grant
ing Jhe franchise and advertising for
Lids was deferred until the next meet
ing when the matter will again come
ud for consideration.
I The question as to the maximum rate
to be charged the consumers of this
, city is the matter that is withholdingr
the action of the Council and until the
representatives of the concern desir
ing the franchise are communicated
t with it will remain open.
The members nf the council discuss
! ed freely the provisions set out in the
' franchise as submitted to that body
;and it was agreed that the consumers
' in this city, in event the pipe lines
were extended to Paris, should receive
the same treatment as those of other
towns now connected with the natural
gas. For that reason the Council de
feTred its action.
, Exemption from taxation for a pe
riod of five years, which was discassed
at the last meeting was again brought
up by City Attorney C. A. McMillan
in a statement to the board after con
sulting wi.h Mr. Stuart. It was
agreed to strike out this portion and
that if the council desired to grant an
exemption it could do so in an ordi
nance at a later date (
The original franchise was changes
somewhat hv an agreement between
, Col. Stuart and Mr. McMillan in aub
! stance that the rare for gas should be
the same as that in effect in other
cities and that in event of a raise in
the rate of either Mt. Sterling, Lex
ington or Winchester such rate should
go into effect in Paris. I7
Objection was made to the maximum
rate of 55 cents as set out in the fran
I chise, and upon the motion of Council
1 man Hmton it was ordered that the
' maximum rate be placed at 40 cents;
per thousand cubic feet and the City
Attorney be instructed to confer with
ths representative of the gas company
in regard to the proposed change.
With the acceptance ofthe promoters?
4 of the proposed changes in the fran
chise it is likely the Council will grant
the request made of it at its next
meeting and enter an order advertis
ing for bids.
The reDort of City Treasurer C. K.
Thomas was not complete and will be
submitted to the Council at its next
meeting. The following permits were
granted : Anna Harrison, cottage on
Virginia avenue : Steve Moure, stable
on Seventh street, R. Hammans, cot
tage on Parrish avenue. Permission
was given the firm of Yerkes & Pricn--ard
t6 lower the pavement in front of"
their place of business on Main street
