At noon a fine dinner of the best that the country affords and prepared in the finest style, was served by Mrs. Willett.

WARRIORS IN REUNION ACCEPT NEW FRANCHISE

Southern Indiana Company Will Fur

nish Gas to Greenfield for Fifty

Cents Per Thousand and Fifty Cents

Minimum Per Month.

As was expected, the Southern Indiana Gas Co. has accepted the terms of the new franchise granted to them recently by the city council. By the terms of this franchise they are allowed to charge fifty cents a thousand cubic feet for their gas and a minimum rate of fifty cents a month to every consumer. The Company is required, however, to furnish their gas to Greenfield patrons as long as they have a supply for commercial purposes.

The troubles of the Company do not seem to be over, however, as some of the consumers who continued to use the gas through the month of January while the new franchise was pending, have refused to pay fifty cents a thousand for that mdnth while the ordinance was not in force, but have tendered the company payment in the sum of twenty-five cents a thousand, which the company refuses to accept.

The question is whether the Com' pany can enforce the payment of the advance price when the ordinance was not in force, even though it was understood by the patrons that the extra charge would be made.
