Cte ,1 JUST THOUGH OF; fli SHEU- JOICH TO N6 ON fAUrt, I'LL So PtL IY ON 4S BhDfcG J FORGET IT. ALL STIPULAT MUSTJJPECIFIC Bavis Replies to Bond's Statement Regarding Franchise Draft. In a statement to the Palladium today Alfred Bavis declares that specific stipulations regarding the number of British thermal units contained in the natural gas which the Allegheny gas company proposes to furnish Richmond, should be inserted in the contract and that test gauges should be provide., for to show the heating value of the gas. Mr. Bavis's statement which follows, also touches upon other points in the franchise draft: The Palladium: Too much credit can not be given City Attorney Bond for the frank statement he made regarding his powerlessness to cope with the legal representatives of the natural gas people. A cleaner admission of "down and out" I never read. Mr. Bond says: "It is extremely easy to criticize the official acts of others, and just criticism followed by some reasonable and proper method which will obviate the matters complained about, is always proper; but mere criticism without any proposed remedy is of little avail." I take this rebuke, and all others that follow, with the best possible gTace, undeservedly as it is, for the reason I suggested remedies that could and should be insisted upon, as they harmonize strictly with a "square deal" and that is all I ever suggested, or would undertake to suggest. Test Gauge Necessary, What was the nature of my criticism, to be offensive. Simply the insistence that no franchise should be granted that fails to contain specific stipulations as to liabilities existing between producer and consumer. If the people of Richmond are to pay 40 cents" Jet 1000 c? -T feet of gas containing yftr-r4mt '1200 British thermal units of heat to the cubic foot, the contract should show that -1200 B. T. U. is the standard of heating value and test guages provided that we might be sure we are getting what we pay for. If the gas fail to measure up to that standard of quality every unit of deficiency represents money dishonestly exacted. Is there anything wrong with complaining because the franchise fails to establish such a standard? Mr. Bond further says: "Some years ago I heard an aged man say that he could sit at home and make some very excellent horse trades, but when he saw the other fellow it was different." This is the way the city officials and members of the Public Service Committee of the Commercial Club who have had . this gas question under consideration for many weeks have found matters." I think the parallel Mr. Bond tries to create is a poor one and only emphasizes his own inadequacy. If I was a professional horse trader I would be expected to know every point which shows to the advantage or disadvantage of the other fellow's horse and to point them out to him with all the deteriorating consequences of the defects. Unless I knew those points I'd never go iu the horse trading business. What is true of horse trading is true of all other professions, especially the legal profession. Unless I could keep abreast with the other fellows, I'd get out of the business, in any case. I'd hesitate to assume the responsibilities of taking care of the legal business of a city the size and importance of Richmond where you are expected to keep step with corporate legal advisers. Constitutions Different. Mr. Bond further says: "It Is delving into the realm of ingenious speculation to attempt to picture the direful results that might follow if the public utility law shall be adjudged unconstitutional Such laws have been declared valid by the Supreme Courts of every state which has considered them, and our Supreme Court will in my opinion do likewise. What the' Supreme Courts have done in ether states, with the utility laws of those states gives us no assurance as to what will be done in this state as the utility laws of other states were adJudged by the constitution of that state and not by the Indiana constitution. Should the law be declared valid, so much the better. Why take chances? If yau are confident as to the validity of the law why not insert the protective' features necessary, which you say is the inevitable, lesulting from the commissions review? Mr, Bond admit? the oossibilitv

According to present indications, the people of Richir d will not have the privilege this summer of witnessing any circus performances, unless they go elsewhere to do so.
