early days of natural gas.
The powers of the trustees are very great. Tit* trust agreement provides that the trustees “shall have full, complete, exclusive and irrevocable power, durtiii; the continuance of this corporation, to hold sold stork, and vote the same ha fully and completely as If they were the owners of said capital stock: to elect directors as alwivc provided and to fill any vacamy that may occur In said board of directors.'-' This provision has been to express terms legalized by the Legislature. ITider It the trusteces will act on Novemljer 3. when they elect directors. The sole question Is whether they will choose a« directors men who will' commH themselves in favor of the provisions of the trust agreement. We believe that the trust should continue in business. If It can not get sufficient natural to meet the demand It should furnish u manufactured fuel. It can. for one thing, use the abundant stores of oil that It has to manufacture gus. This It could do at a reasonable cost. I lias the oil lands, the pipe.** to bring the oil tu Indianapolis and the mains in the streets with which to distribute the gita to the iieople. H was shown in The News o( Haturday th.it water gas is made from oil In Martinsville at a cost of from W to 36 cents a thousand feet. Yet gas Is made only every second duy, though the hire of men.
