A WAY OUT OF THE GAS DIFFICULTY.
To the Editor of the" Observer."

Sin,—l have wept very copiously over the attempted
apology of the Gtlil Company, and feel acutely for them.
They are earning no dividends or next to none, but they
would not sell their works at a less sum than to pay 10
per cent, on their capital. How kind ! A sort of half
hint is given that we must pay more for the public lamps,
and more for the gas used in our shops and houses. How
considerate I elmuld like in a few words to tell you a
way of getting out of the difficulty the consumers are in.
for I suppose we must not look for any concession from
the Gas Company unless they are absolutely forced to
it. Perhaps you noticed last week that the Wolverhamp-
ton Gas Company have reduced their price to 2s 61 per
1,000. In Stourbridge see pay 50 per cent. more. I%'hy
not get the Wolverhampton Company to apply for powers
to bring their mains to Stourbridge. The outlay would
not be greater, or only slightly greater than would have
to be raised for new works or for purchasing the unre•
munerative old ones. We should thus we 6.84 in every
t:1 we pay for gas; we should hive no more gas questions
cropping up, for everybody would be satisfied : unit we
should enable the present ties Company to close their
works, and save thew the annoyance they now experience
from carrying them on at a loos.
Tours truly,
