Officials of the coniiai. cou.d not
see the matter in the same way as the
council and considerable sisunient en-
sued both pro and con on suggestions

In ovening the cxmference ' ity Attor-

Suggestions Reudily Arced.
Most of the suggestions ma If by Mr.
Bertron were for the nurimi.. of clari
fying the language of the ortl .ance and
were readily gred to by the .ouucil in
that they did not change the n eaning or
intent of the council. The ni"-t impor
tant changes sirred to were fie reduc
tion in primary rstea to consumers for
lighting of from nine cents to eight
cents a reduction of one cent and the
retaining of the 10 per cent di-'-ount in
tead of 15 per ocift as suggests! at first
for prompt payment of bills. Another
waa changiug the wording to read "full
connected 'ail is not to be tak'U at leas
than (VI watts per hour' in arriving at
the primary rates.
Another change was in reference to
street fights which was chanrd from
'arc lights" to lights "not less than 600
candle power for lights connected with
overhead circuits and not less f an 1000
candle power for street lights onnected
with underground circuits." the price
cnargea the city to remain the -ame at
in the previous ordinances. It was fur
ther provided that lighting units installed
under the provision of this ordinance
hall at all times be of the l'"8t and
most approved type In use at that time
uu sausiactory to tne city counni.
Distance of Extensions Reduced
The distance within which the c impany
is required to make extensions and con-
nections was reduced from 800 feet to
300 feet "to irdude any point right or
left by street lines." Official of the
company wanted to change the wording
of the proviaion which provides that the
company shall make such connections or
extension "within 10 days'" to rea'l "with-
in a reasonable time." City Attorney
Myer pointed out that to make such
charge would render the penal clu e null
and void and of no effect citing 'he re
cent supreme courf decision on th Lever j
-i as to me use oi tne wora Reason
able" as being too broad vague. ;md in-
definite and under which a penaln could
not be assessed. This be said would
make the provision meat-ingles. hb& by
It the company would escape all penalty.
This clause was pasaed over for further
discussion but tt is the evident intent of
llie oniiicil rot to i-liange the wording and
to keep the penalty for failure to make
cor-nortinns no as to enfon-e them ! the
c -M:i.sny. each cane to be reasonably eon-
i.i reii on its merits.
Clause Changed.
The clause requiring the eumpit'iy to
"immediately purchase and install with
all possible dispatch sufficient equipment
ueceary to aupply the demand for elec-
trical ei ergy at peak hours" was
changed to read "tbe plant and qtiip-
ment of the company as far as can prac-
tically be done shall at all times be suffi-
cient to sftpply the demand for electrical
energy in the city of Houston at peak
hours." Mr. Bertron said that the first
wording ts a reflection on the company
and would have a bad effect on prospec-
tive bond purchasers when the con pany
attempted to finance itself. This change
waa agreed to by the council.
The council also agreed to the pajuent
of "all reasonable and necessary operat-
ing expenses and interest on consumers'
deposits" provided that "'Merest oa I onds
or for borrowed money or on other evi-
dence of indebtedness or cost of Riling
securities or discount thereon shall not
be regarded as ar operating expense.""
Agreement was also reached that the
minimum amount of the stabilising fund
should be $.100000 and the minimum
S500.000. This however. nut agreed
to until a full discussion was Imd OH the
question of interest on consumers' de-
posits the company explainer that this
amount was in reality very small and
that it was attempting to rduoe the
amount of consumers' deposits to tbe
lowest minimum where the consumers'
willingness and ability to pay his fills
was shown. It was stated that the sum
carried by the company on this uce unt
was approximately oidy $2500.
A further conference will be held with
the officials of the company next Wedi.ea-
dsy at 0 a- m. and continued all day.
until the whole franchise is gone ever
in an effort to expedite tbe matter.
