NATURAL EIS
DEPENDSDNLY
ON ORDINANCE
Council Expected to Grant
Franchise Without
Undue Delay.
SAVING OF 20 PER CENT
Rate for Domestic Purposes
Little Lower Than
at Present.
Passing of an ordinance in the city
council fixing tbe maximum and mini-
mum rate* to tbe consumer is virtually
all that now stands between Ban An-
tonio and a natural gas supply. T 1
ordinance is expected to come before
th* aommisoioners at the regular meet-
ing Monday and no opposition is ex-
pected to be offered to its passage. If
thi* holds true natural gas will be
flowing through tbe mains of the San
Antonio Public Service company from
tbe big gas field at Three Rivers by
November 1 according to those who are
directly interested in the project.
The proposal to pipe natural gas
here* which ia fostered by M. M. Sweet-
man and associates was discussed by
Mayor Black the commissioners offi-
cials of tbe public service company and
Chamber of Commerce representatives
at a meeting in the mayor's ottice Fri-
day. Tentative approval of the project
was given by the city official* and nu
ordinance drafted fixing tbe maximum
and minimum rate* for manufactured
and natural gas for domestic purposes.
Gas for industrial use is not included
in the ordinance. Tbe ordinance wia
te have been adopted on Friday at a
postponed council meeting but owing to
the absence of Commissioner Pfeiffer
the meeting was not held.
Saving of Only Small Sum.
At the Friday conference Commis-
sioner* Ray Lambert and Phil Wright
inquired into the cause for the eem-
ingly high price fixed for natural gas.
Under the terms of the ordinance a
maximum rate of SI.US for tbe first
1000 cubic feet of gas may be charged
with a minimum charge of 75 cents.
From this may be deducted 10 per cent
for prompt payment of bills which
gives the consumer a maximum rate of
94 1-2 cents and a minimum of 67 1-2
cents.
The charge for manufactured gas in
San Antonio at present is $1.25 per
1000 cubic feet the saving therefore
by bringing natural gas here being only
about 20 per cent. While the two com-
missioners mentioned above are opposed
to this seemingly high rate they de-
clared they would not oppose the ordi-
nance if it in any way imperiled San
Antonio's chance* of securing a supply
of natural gas.
The average consumer of gas accord-
ing to W. B. Tuttle head of the San
Antonio Public Service company said
Saturday will pay 94 1-2 cents per
1000 cubic feet. What tbe charge will
be for industrial consumption he said
has not been fixed nor ba* it been gone
into very thoroughly. The rates fixed
in the ordinance. Mr. Tuttle explained
are to be used as a starter. Whether
they will be materially reduced at any
future time he said will depend upon
“actual conditions.” He mention^!
however that tbe regulation of natural
gas rates is under the control of tbe
state railroad commission.
Claim Higher Heat Unit
Mr. Tuttle explained that he could
discuss the projiosition only from the
standpoint of his company which will
become distributor for the gas when it
is piped here from Three Rivers. His
company he said has a contract for a
certain number of years with the pipe
line company for the distribution of the
gas. While he did not mention tbe
price the public service company is to
pay. it is known that the gas will be
delivered to it at the city limits for 30
cents per 1000 cubic feet. The pipe line
company it is understood will pay five
cents per 1000 cubic feet at the well.
Tbe difference between the price paid
by tbe public service company and that
to be charged the consumer caused con-
siderable discussion at the Friday meet-
ing. It was brought out. however that
natural gas is considerably higher in
heat units than the manufactured prod-
uct*. It has been stated further that
the comparatively short life nt gas fields
necessitating the realizing of a quick re-
turn on the invested capital is a large
factor in determining natural gas rates.
Say* Twelve-inch Line Sufficient.
Tbe gas is to be brought to San An-
tonio in a twelve-inch pipe according
to present plans and will be picked up
at the city limits by the public service
company In a sixteen-ineb main. The
twelve-inch pipe. Mr. Tuttle said i* suf-
ficiently large to take eare of both th-
domestic snd industrial needs of San
Antonio for the present. He admitted
however that if natural gas is used
extensively here as a fuel that a larger
line may be necessary. This will de-
pend entirely however he said on fu-
ture developments industrially and the
life and extent of the Three Rivers
field.
Asked when actual work is to be
started on tbe pipe line which it is
estimated will cost a million and a
half dollars Mr. Tuttle said that every-
thing* depend* upon passage of tbe < r-
dinance fixing rates. All contracts for
materials etc. for the pipe line he
said have been made conditional upon
the passage of this ordinance. Mr.
Sweetman Mr. Tuttle said is expected
back in Sso Antonio within a few days
and be then probably will make some
definite announcement.
Tbe public service company it is un-
derstood. will retain its artificial gas
plant intact for emergency use In the
event tbat tbe natural supply at any
time fail*. Very little change in it*
equipment St is understood will be
necessary in order to take care of tbe
change.
Claim Industrie* Will Come.
Housewives however may send up n
wail when they find that ehanging from
artificial to natural ga. will necessitate
a change in the burners of the kitehen
range. Natural ga«. it is claimed will
not burn well in a stove whi. i*
equipped for burning artificial gas and
vice versa. The burner for natural gas
consumption it is claimed must be

To Fight Blue Laws
St. laiuls .March 25.—Steps to
oppose blue Sunday laws will be
taken nt tbe National Anti-Blue
Ixtw conference to be held hero
June 23 to 25.
Missouri this fall will be the
scene of a bitter battle between the
forces favoring blue Sunday laws
and those opposed. Many cities in
Missouri have been closed under
blue Sunday ordinances since Janu-
ary 1 and reformers are trying to
get a state-wide Sunday bill passed
at the next session of the Missouri
legislature in January.
“We shall bitterly oppose this
nnd shall offer a local option bill
-a* a subtitute” F. C. Dalley execu-
tive secretary of the Anti-Blue Law
League of America said.
Speakers will include Luther Bur-
bank Hudson Maxim. Former Gov-
ernor Fenimore Chatterton of
Wyoming Rex Beach Booth Tark-
ington Augustus Thomas James
Montgomery Flagg. Madame Amelita
Galli-Curei United States Senators
E. 8. Broussard nnd A. O. Stanley
and Congressman William E.
Rodenberg.
much lower from the surface of the stove
than that for artificial gas.
Aside from the benefits to be derived
from domestic consumers by the piping
of natural gas here in the form of a
20 per cent reduction in price it is
pointed out tbat San Antonio will ben-
efit materially from an industrial stand-
point. Many large industries accord-
ing to officials of the Chamber of Com-
merce are ready to move their plants
here as soon as the gas is flowing into tbe
city mains. These industries it is
claimed will bring plants here which
will employ thousands of worker*. Their
coming here however It was explained
depend* upon whether a reasonable rate
for industrial gas can be obtained. This
is a detail which it is believed however
will be worked out satisfactorily.

THREATEN SDIT
IE SQUARE USED
FOR AUDITORIUM
Heirs of I. A. Paschal May
Enjoin City Unless Paid
for Property.
OTHERS OWN INTEREST
Payment of $5OOO Demand-
ed for Half Interest
in Property.
Mayor Black may yet be compelled
to fight an injunction suit before be is
allowed to proceed with the erection of
San Antonio's half million dollar audi-
torium on the Madison Square site
which recently was decided upon. At
least such a possibility is seen in. a
warning contained in a formal notice
which was served upon the mayor and
commissioners Saturday.
The notice was served by Samuel
Belden and Haltom and Haltom at-
torney* representing Mrs. Florida Pas-
ebal and Emmett Paschal heirs of I. A.
Paschal one of tbe original donors of
the Madison Square park to tbe city.
Attached to it was a copy of the instru-
ment in which the square was dedicated
to the city “to be used as a common
or public square.” This instrument
also provides that it may be "burdened
with tbe erection of a public foun-
tain” which may be enclosed for a
space of 50 feet in each-direction.
Demand $5OOO for Interest.
The city was given notice by the Pas-
chal attorneys that the erection of an
auditorium will prevent the use of the
grounds by the public. The city it is
claimed does not own the title to the
property but owns the donated ease-
ment of a "common or public square.” |
The two Paschal heirs therefore the i
notice claims own an undivided one-
half interest in the property. Unless
they are paid $5OOO by the city for
this interest they threaten to throw the
matter into litigation and if this be-
comes necessary to demand more.
The notice which is addressed to the
mayor and commisaioners follows:
We are informed that you have fin-
ally determined to use Madison Square
Spon which to erect an auditorium. You
and each of you no doubt are familiar
with the circumstances under which the
ground constituting Jladison Square
was given to “the public"; and there-
fore must know that the city acquired
only the “use” of the ground “to be
used as a common or public square"
and that the erection of a building
upon the ground will front the. time of
erection prevent the grounds being used
as a common or public square.
The city of San Antonio doe* not
own the title to this ground but own*
tho donated easement of a “common"
or of a “public square.” The right of
the owners of the fee is subject to tbe
superior right of the public to the ease-
ment created by the plat and instru-
ment of dedication so long as the prop-
erty may be used as a common or pub-
lic square.- But whenever tbe city
abandons the use of the property a* a
“common” or “public square.' the heirs
of the person* making the dedication are
entitled to the use and possession of
their property.
Must Not Abandon Square.
The fee simple title to thi* property
at the time of dedication was in I. A.
Paschal and Nat Lewis both of whom
are dead. . ...
The heirs of Nat Lewi* or bi* de-
visees own an undivided one-half of the
property constituting Madison Square
subject to the.public easement created
by the deed of dedication. Tbe legal
representatives of I. A. Paschal own
the remaining undivided one-half of
the property subject to the same right
of nse or easement in the city.
There may arise the question bl
abandonment of Lexington avenue a
serious question and if the city has
abandoned the street doe* not the title
and right of possession of necessity re-
main in the heirs of the persons who
attempted to give the street?
Now we represent the legal represen-
tatives of I. A. Paschal deceased and
stand ready to convey to the city the
fee simple title to an undivided one-
half of all the ground including Lex-
ington avenue constituting Madison
Square upon the payment of a reason-
able compensation anil we have fixed
the remuneration for the half interest
at $5OOO. Of course you gentlemen un-
derstand that if we are required to liti-
gate. we will a*k for more.
If you care to accept the proposition
you may prepare such instrument* for
signature as you may deem proper ami
take such proceedings in council meet-
ing as you may deem proper.
However we now take thi* oppor-
tunity to notify you that you must not
"misuse tbe common or public square
without compensation to the heir* of
1. A. Paschal deceased. By “misuse
is meant any use not authorized by the
instrument of dedication.
We are not authorized to speak for
the heirs of Nat Lewi* deceased.
For your information w-e enclose a
copy of the deed of .dedication.
