a
petition signed by about
hundred citizens and tax payers. It
was finally disposed of bv a committee consisting of Councilmen Reynolds, j. Myers anil Robinson being appointed 5 to make a thorough investigation and report at the earliest opportunity. The petition reads as follows: "The uridsrsigned citizens and tax pavers of the city of Crawfordsville tvould respectfully show to your honorable body that the Crawfordsvi'le Water and Light Co., a corporation possessing valuable franchises heretofore granted by the city, is now engaged
111
enforcing
odious andoppressivechargesagainst tho citizens who desire to use the water furnished by said company.
And whereas the absence 01 competition leaves said citizens who dosiro to use said water at the in'-rcy of said coin-
pany, Now therefore we whose names are*' hereto attached would most respectfully ask the common council to carefully investigate the rights of the citizens in the promises and secure such rolief as may bo possible.
We would further ask your honorable body to incroase tho facilities for furnishing electric lights to tho end that all citizens who desire to use said lighti in their places of businesaand residences may be enabled to do so, thereby giving our people relief to that extent from the power of this monopoly which hae no interest with us beyond Becuring the last dollar possible."
