Tax Paver, (who is evidently the Old Co., in
| disguise) puts in d plea in your saturdays m,
| per for sud Company. His arguments ure US
follows: The Old Company, after an exclusive
ten years monopoly Of the gas business, in
which they lluve becou,e rich and powerful, arc
"rla.cd upon firm foundation" beyond every
| contingency, and cxual to all things in the gus
line.
by reason Of this he SAYS, md because
they now asking The city fifty cents per thou
sand feet foo much every day for gas and will
canct more still <say - per thousandJ if the
city does not come to terms, and give them ar,-
other ten years monopoly Of the business,
tbriGht prospect this, for private consumers. i.
F"r these and other reasons they ought to have
thr contract at once. Again; The New Com
p"nv ought not to have it, because they are
specializing Slylocks. trying to drive hard
b'r:ain with the city, by which they can lcvy
tribute and exact large bonus from it, Because
ii is " nlooushine" und baselc:s speculation
and tie Company are weak, DC. htrt fore crush
them.
T1nt 7iuhf hart These scorth|txs fcd,Mjt to offer
the city fur contract two months after the
o'a company agreement hau expired? ah"
bri"re that g''"3 O'd Company had time TO come
