and Mr. Bnulinn of the Pioneer Natur-

the minimum and the term of year
thru which it will rontluiie were ami
cnbly nnd successfully settled. Th
minimum rate will be fluo per mouth
for a term of two years nfter which
time n minimum rate of 7f cents per
mouth will bo charged.
The ar-'lou nt the morning session
closes finally all little complications
which nrose over the minimum and
the price per thousand feet. The new
rate will become effective with the
first delivering of the natural gas
from the Montn fields.
Tho rate for domestic purposes s
small mid each person taking gas may
use 2000 feet each month nt the mini-
mum of $1.00 nnd all below this
amount will be charged for at tho
samo rate.
The city commissioners won th"
rncc for a short term of minimum rate
of $1 per thousand. At the last session
of the commissioners the Ploneor Nat
ural Gns presented n. proposition to
make a $1 rate to continue over a
torm of four years but the city com-
missioners desired that only two yeara
be the term. Manager Sweuson of th'-
local ga company who represented
the Pioneer Company promised to com-
municate with the latter company and
sco If tho two year minimum term
could be procured. That his nction
was successful Is revealed In the de-
cision of tho body Monday inornlns.
This action paves tho way to an Im-
mediate adjustment of nil outstanding
differences and In n short time active
work will be begun upon the pipe line
