Your committee appointe& to further investigate the matt6r
of possible solutions of the natural gas problem in the city has held a
Jarge number of meetings with all persons and parties interested in the
natter and after carefully considering all suggested solutions have
arrived atr the conclusion that the best procedure' for the interests of
the entire city is that a, franchise, be, granted to the Minnesota Nort3ftern
Natural Gas Company under and in accordance with.U6 terms and` -conditions
of the attached ordinance and that in order to expedite matters a prior
ordinance in the nature of a revocable permit to install gas mains be
granted to that company to connect up with the large industrial loads

at the time of the taking effect of the franchise.
We therefore recommend than the attached ordinances be
immediately adopted and that the Common Council suspend the rules in
order that the work necessary for the installations required by the
proposed grants be undertaken without arq delay whatever.
