Ogden Gas Company to Issue 10 Million Bonds in Chicago Gas War
The Ogden Gas Company plans to issue 10 million dollars of forty year bonds to finance a city wide expansion and challenge the People's Gas Trust. Officials say the goal is cheap, quality gas, with a North Side plant and a new West Side site, while denying any formal territory contract with the rival. Investors expect 2 to 3 million mortgage funding immediately and 4 million more soon as Wall Street watches the battle.
