GAS CONTRACT HITS SNAGS IN CITY COUNCIL Members Say They Like It, but Must See It Work. RAP AT WORKS BOARD Fire changes to the contract amending the franchise of the Citizens Gns Company, up for ratification by the city council, were proposed at a conference last night. The councilmen expressed general approval of the contract, particularly the clause which provides that the company shall make $1,000,000 worth of definite improvements by Dec. 31, 1921, but said they never would vote to ratify the instrument until the suggested changes are made. Further discussion will be had and the council will specify changes, presenting them to Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby. Anew contract acceptable to the gas company and the board of works then will -be required. Most of the meeting wa* taken up with a dlacussion of the British thermal unit standard for gas, and the board of public works was criticised for failing to compel the company to keep somewhere Bear the 600 B. T. U. quality. AVERAGE QCAUTI SHORT IN OCTOBER. The report for October showed the average quality was only 347. and that the board of works had not turned over its band, despite the fact that several months ago it warned the gas company it would have to keep its product up to at least 670 or suffer the SIOO a day penalty. The five changes to the proposed contract suggested were as follows: 1. Addition of the words ‘’beyond the company's control’’ to the clause which provides that the company may reduce pressure and ration gas when there is a shortage from "any cause." 2. Eliminat sentence in the clause re?:arding the extension, which states that t is understood and agreed the company wili have to sell stocks and bonds to finance such Improvements. 3. Addition to section 5 of these word*: “Hereafter said company shall not extract benzol nor any other heat-making element of the gas as it comes from the coke ovens during November and December. 1920: January, February. March and April, 1921; but during such months snail suspend operations of any benzol extracting or producing plant designed for the extraction of any heat-producing element from the gas." ADDITION' TO SECTION* NO. 8. 4. Addition to section 0 of these words: “And on Dec. 31. 1921. the contract heretofore existing between the city and the said company shall stand unchanged in any particular just as the same was originally executed, and nothing in this contract shall ever be taken as a. waiver or any de'nult of any duty whatever imposed by the original contract between the city and the said coiaSany and shall never be deemed as a mitation of any duty of the said company to the city under said contract as originally executed." tThe amending contract would expire July 3!. 1921 as to all clauses excepting that providing for the improvements to be completed Dec. 33, 1921). 5. Addition of a clause expressly providing that It is understood and agreed that nothing in the instrument shall be

Wife Wanted to Try Another Man Awhile , He Says Special to The Times. MARION, Nov. 19. —Alleging that his young wife said' she would "try another man awhile and then let him know which* one she wanted," Harrold E. Parker, of Marlon, has tiled suit in the Superior Court for divorce from Ora Parker, daughter of Orion O. Wolf, prominent coal dealer. The couple were married March 10. last, and separated Oct. 1, when Parker says his wife left him and went to Chicago to meet “the other man.” He charges that she called him "a d—d fool, ’ refused to cook his breakfast. locked him out of the house at night, and mistreated him in many j ways. j construed as approval or consent by the I city to any change in the gas rate bei fore, after, or during the consummation j of the improvement program. Til* ONE THEY | WON’T TASS BY. I Some councilmen said they would be | willing to forego some of these changes : but would stand absolutely on the pro. j vision that the gas company may curj tail service when there Is a shortage | from any cause "beyond the company's ■ control.” Otherwise, the councilmen j said, the company might declare a short- | age at any time it felt like it for any j reason it might trump tip. i Several of the councilmen expressed ■ the fear that the company is going to 1 ask for a raise in rates as a result of I the proposed improvement program and ' therefore they favored the fifth of the above changes, but Corporation Counsel | Ashby said that before the company can , get an increase it must not only get I an amendment to the franchise, which j provides for 60-cent gas, but also to a ' iaw which guarantees this price. The suggested provision that the company be prohibited from extracting benzol came from President of the Council G. G. Schmidt. Mr. Schmidt inquired of jCtty Chemist Chalmers Underwood and Harry O. Gorman, engineer for the pub- \ lie service commission, who was present as a citizen, whether the extraction of benzol reduced the heat unit value of j gas. Both replied that It doea to n cer- ! tain extent. ! PRE-WAtt CONTENT BROUGHT OCT It was brought out that gas rarely : fell below 600 B. T. U. content before tbe war when the company bad no market for benzol and extracted very little, but the chemist and engineer vnld it should I be remembered that while the pretence of benzol In the gas of pre war days j was responsible for part of the better quality the fact that high grade coal | and gas oil was obtainable was a very ; important factor. , “Indianapolis has just about burned j her last 000 B. T. U. gas.” Mr. Gorman said, adding that the average quality which can reasonably be expected from ! materials available at present is 570. THAT "AIR IN GAS” IS DISCUSSED. Continuing his discussion of B. T. U. standards. Mr. Schmidt asked Mr. Under - wnod if it Is not a known fact that the gas company has at it* PriSspeet street | plant three openings for tbe Introduction ! of air into the gas for the purpose of reducing the B. T. U. contents from 600 to 550. or lower when gas of that higb

quality happens to be made and that "one time they put too much air In and nearly blew the place up?" Mr. Underwood replied that it la a well known scientific fact that all gas company’s Introduce air into gas, but not for the purpose of reducing the heat value. He said he had never heard of the plant nearly blowing up and that he had never found more than 10 per cent air in the gas when he analyzed it. Ten per cent is not an abnormal amount, be said. "Why is it that the average B. T. U. value of all the gas made in Indianapolis last month was only 547?” Mr. Schmidt inquired. "I can't tell you, but Mr. Forrest (secretary and general manager of the gas company) would tell you that it is because of inferior materials," the chemist replied. "Well I believe that it is because they want to make Mrs. Murphy use 2,000 cubic feet, instead of 1,000 cubic feet of ges to boil her pot of beans,” Mr. Schmidt said. "If Bill Peake (member of the council who owns a chain of groceries) were to water his milk 25 per cent they’d have him In jail but the more these people steal from us the higher the monument we place them on.” Mr. Schmidt added that if the DomhoffJoyce Company, sales agents for the gns company’s coke, did not get a commission of approximately $2,230 a day for doing nothing more than answering telephones and saying, "All our coke is contracted for,” that the utility might have more money with which to make improvements. “I’m getting farther away from any change in the present franchise every day until they produce the goods,” he said. Mr. Gorman remarked: "I’m for you in making the company toe the mark, but let's hang -on to our 60 cent gas as long ns possible.
