RICHMOND COMPANY AVERS ALLEGHENY IS RUNNING BLUFF Repjesentatives of Natural Gas Company Are ; Indignant.

ARRIVED HERE TODAY

Discuss Draft of Franchise With Public Service Committee.

In a letter to the Allegheny Gas company the ofj'cials of the Richmond Light, Heat & Power company accuse the officials of the former company of misrepresentations in the negotiations for natural gas in Richmond and declare that their application for a franchise in Richmond is all a blut'i to force the local company to make r. contract for natural gas on their own terms. E. P. "Whltcomb, president of the xVllegheny G?.s company has replied to the letter by wire, declaring that thr representations made in Richmond were absolutely correct and that the local company is being offered gas at the name rate that the Central Indianu Gcs company is paying for natural gas from the Earn? company. An Argument Started. Representatives of thn Allegheny Gos company are veiy indignant at the accusations made in the letter ar.J Bay further that the local company ha" never shown any active desire to enter into a contract with their company from the beginnio:, and did not begin to talk fc'.out a contract until their company came into Richmond and agreed to furcish the city with natural gas. They say that in their opinion the local company is only "stalling" and that it is trying to delay the negotiations until it is too late to get the natural gas Into Richmond. According to agreement, K. C. Krlck and Gus Condo, the representatives of the Allegheny Gas company, arrived in Richmond thl3 morning1 to discuss with the public service corporation committee of the Commercial club the draft of a franchise which was prepared by City Attorney William A. Bond and submitted to the offlclalE of the company about a week ago. Meeting This Afternoon. The meeting of the committee is scheduled for 3 o'clock this afternoon, at which time Mr. Krick said he would explain to the committee the objections his company has to several of the sections as outlined by Mr. Bond. Mr. Krick said there are a great many objectionable features in the proposed contract which his company could not accept. When asked the question as to whether the objections would be great enough to keep the city and the company from coming to terms, he replied that he did not care to venture a reply to this question, as It was entirely up to Richmond as to whether they came into the city with natural gas. He- said, "We will discuss that matter at the meeting this afternoon, and I will go into the matter fully at that time." Mr. Krick said that the Richmond Light, Heat and Power company is Ho nearer to closing a contract with them that It -was at the time he first came to Richmond, and that he does not think that It is making any effort to make a contract. He said that 'he had heard statements which representatives of the other company had made from time to time, and he was at a loss to understand why they should call their actions negotiations." We have given them the same opportunity other gas companies in the state have had, and
