AN ORDINANCE FIXING THE

IN THE CITY OF DUBUQUE:
Whereas, representation and ap-
peal has been made to the City
Council of the City of Dubuque and'
the citizens generally of said city
by the Key City Gas Company
wherein it was shown that the in-
creased cost which is now necessar-
ily attached to the supply of gas for
private consumption on account of
abnormal conditions existing
throughout the country has directly
affected the furnishing of gas to the
citizens of Dubuque by said Key
City Gas Company; and
Whereas, it is recognized - by
said council and known generally
throughout the city that such con-
ditions have materially affected the
price of all other commodities; and
Whereas, the City Council feels
that some relief should be given the
Key City Gas Company by 'permit-
ting ,said company to increase their
rate per thousand cubic feet to pri-
vate consumers and thereby assist-
ing said company in securing addl-
commodity furnished; and
Whereas, said company has
heretofore charged for gas furnish-
ed to private consumers the rate of
one dollar ($1.00) per thousand
cubic feet net, that is if paid for on
or before the 10th of the month,
and one dollar and twenty -five cents
($1.25) per thousand feet gross,
that is if paid for after the 10th of
the month, and
Whereas, the City Council has
given reasonable notice to said com-
pany of its intention to fix the price
of gas to private consumers as pro-
vided for by the ordinance granting
the franchise to said company; and
- Whereas, it is deemed advis-
able that said company shall be per-
mitted to charge for gas furnished
to private consumers the rate of one
dollar and ten cents ($1.10) per
thousand cubic feet net, that is if
paid for on or before the 10th of
the month, and one dollar and thir-
ty cents ($1.30) per thousand cubic
feet gross, that is if paid for after
the lath of the month, said raise in
rate, however, to continue only
while conditions throughout the

cil reserving for itself the 'right to

cubic feet, that is if paid after the

they wait until spring to take action

On motion of Ald. Leist, the com-
munication was referred to the com-
mittee of the whole.
Petition of the Key City Gas Com-
pany, asking the City Council to re-
consider their action taken at the
meeting of December 5, 1918, rela-
tive to fixing the price of gas by
adopting an ordinance, stating that
the matter had been referred to the
committee of the whole, with the
understanding that a representative
of the company be notified to be
present and that the ordinance was
adopted without them being notified
to be present. Also stating that "if
the Council leaves the ordinance on
the ordinance books in its present
form this company will have no oth-
er recourse than to go into court and
seek to have its enforcement enjoin-
ed."
They suggest an agreement as fol-
lows:
"That the Gas Company should
charge and collect its present rates
during the coming year.
"That at the end of that year
three auditors or umpires, citizens of
Dubuque, should be chosen, one by
the City Council, one by the Gas
Company, and the third by the two
thus selected, who would examine
the accounts of the Gas Company
for the eighteen months' period dtfr-
ing which the present rate had pre-
vailed and determine from actual
figures the results of operation dur-
ing that period.
"That, while it is believed that a
valuation of the Company's property
ascertaining by the methods employ-
ed by the Courts in rate cases: that
is, the cost of reproduction at the
time it is sought to apply the rates;
would show a valuation in excess of
the amount of the present perma-
nent capital liabilities of the Com-
pany, being its outstanding capital
stock and bonds which aggregate
$710,500.00; it might be agreed that
should it develop on such examina-
tion by such auditors that the net
earnings of said Company from op-
eration during said period of eigh-
teen months have exceeded an
amount equal to a fair, reasonable
and legal return on the $710,500.00
present permanent capital liabilities
of the Company the excess over the
amount equal to such fair and rea-
sonable return should be rebated' by
the Gas Company to consumers of
gas in proportion to their respective
bills for gas for the eighteen months
period under consideration.
"That the Gas Company should
give a bond with sureties to be ap-
proved by the Council in, perhaps,
the sum of $50,000.00, to insure the
refund of the money if any should
be found to be due the consumers.
"This plan, of course, would in-
volve the repeal of the ordinance at-
tempted to be adopted on December
5, 1918, so as to avoid the necessity
of the Gas Company's bringing suit
to enjoin its enforcement."
They also state this plan would
be less expensive to the public and
all concerned than litigation in the
Courts, presented and read.
Ald. Plamondon moved that the
rules be suspended for the purpose
of allowing any one present to ad-
dress the Council. Carried by the
following vote:
Yeas —Aids. Andresen, Hird, Leist,
McLaughlin, Plamondon, Strobel.
Nays —None.
Attorney Brown addressed the
Council relative to the petition and
requested that the petition be re-
ferred to the committee of the
whole to be acted on at an early
date.

petition was referred to the commit-
tee of the whole for immediate ac-
tion.

SECTION 3.
• That in view of the fact that two

nections which said company has

company to comply with such in-
structions.

after may in its discretion, by ordin-
ance or resolution, impose any other
further restrictions upon said com-
panY or its successors in the carry-
ing on of said business on raid prem-
ises, so far as sewerage, cleanliness,
freedom from offensiveness, etc., and
general police regulations are con-
cerned and nothing herein shall be
construed to limit the right of the
city so to do, and also to provide by
proper penalties for any violations of
this ordinance or any subsequent
amendment thereto.
SECTION 5.

AN ORDINANCE.
AN ORDINANCE FIXING THE
PRICE TO BE CHARGED TO
PRIVATE CONSUMERS BY
THE KEY CITY GAS COMPANY
FOR THE USE OF GAS WITH-.
IN THE CITY OF DUBUQUE.
Whereas, representation and ap-
peal has been 'made to the City
Council of the City of Dubuque and
the citizens generally of said city
by the Key City Gas Company
wherein it was shown that the in-
creased cost which is now necessar-
ily attached to the supply of gas for
private consumption on account of
abnormal conditions existing
throughout the country has directly
affected the furnishing of gas to the
citizens of Dubuque by said Key
City Gas Company; and
Whereas, it is recognized by
said council and known generally
throughout the city that such con-
ditions have materially affected the
price of all other commodities; and
Whereas, the City Council feels
that some relief should be given the
Key City Gas Company by permit-
ting said company to increase their
rate per thousand cubic feet to pri-
vate consumers and thereby assist-
ing said company in securing addi-
commodity furnished; and
Whereas, said company has
heretofore charged for gas furnish.
ed to private consumers the rate of
one dollar ($1.00) per thousand
cubic feet net, that is if paid for on
or before the 10th of the month,
and one dollar and twenty -five cents
($1.25) per thousand feet gross,
that is if paid for after the 10th of
the month, and
Whereas, the City Council has
given reasonable notice to said com-
pany of its intention to fix the price
of gas to private consumers as pro-
vided for by the ordinance granting
the franchise to said company; and
Whereas, it is deemed advis-
able that said company shall be per-
mitted to charge for gas furnished
to private consumers the rate of one
dollar and ten cents ($1.10) per
thousand cubic feet net, that is if
paid for on or before the 10th of
the month, and one dollar and thir-
ty cents ($1.30) per thousand cubic
feet gross, that is if paid for after
the 10th of the month, said raise In
rate, however, to continue only
Official Notices.
while conditions throughout the
country remain abnormal, the coun-
cil reserving for itself the right to
fix again the rate of gas to be fur-
nished to private consumers when-
ever it deems it advisable to do so,
but not oftener than once a year;
and now therefore
Be It Ordained by the City Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque:
Section 1. That the Key City Gas
Company of the City of Dubuque
shall be permitted and is hereby
authorized to charge the net rate of
one dollar and ten cents ($1.10) per
thousand cubic- feet, that is if paid
on or before the 10th of the month,
and the gross rate of one dollar and
thirty cents ($1.30) per thousand
cubic feet, that is if paid after the
10th of the month, for gas so fur-
nished and sold to private consum-
ers within the limits of the City of
Dubuque, said charge to be and
constitute the fixed and established
rate for gas for private consump-
tion in the City of Dubuque.
Sec. 2. That said Key City Gas
Company shall furnish for private
consumption at the rate above stat-
ed, gas possessing the heating qual-
ity of not less than five hundred and
sixty British thermo units (560 B.
T. U.) ; and said quality shall be
maintained as long as this ordi-
nance shall be in effect or until It
shall be deemed advisable by the
City Council to change the same.
Sec. 3. That the rate for gas
herein above specified shall be the
price which said Key City Gas Com-
pany shall be permitted to charge
for gas to private consumers begin-
ning with the January, 1919, reading
and shall be fixed on the bills which
become payable in February, 19l9.
Sec. 4. That the City Council
reserves the right to fix the price
of gas for private consumption at
any time that it may deem it ad-
visable and for the public good, not
oftener, however, than once a year
as provided for by the franchise en-
joyed by said Key City Gas Com-
pany.
Sec. 5. That the explanation and
preamble of this ordinance shall he
and remain a part of the same.
