And ! understand that not one of them,
except the ST. Louis company, pays divi-
dend to stock holders The Muscatine works,
| understand, have been losing business
since their organization, and in order to
keep them in operation they were purchased
q few months since, by several citizens at
$l0.000-about one-sixth of the original
cost. $50
The city of Philadelphia, with the design
of furnishing gas to its citizens at q price
without profit, have charged 1915 per thous-
and, and at that price there has been q def
cheney in single year of 100000, as APP
pears by a report made by the common
council of that city.
The St. Louis gas light company, occupy
ing densely populated territory, compared
with our gas district. at least one hundred
times as great both III area and consump
ton, charge their consumers SAT-.
From the foregoing you will perceive that
$500, charged by us, is not an unreasonable
price
In reference to the size of the burners used
in our public lamps, you are in error saving
they are feet burners. We never hare usec
burner that consumed less than feet
which have, in nearly every instance, been
purchased of Mr.. Riley.
We never intend to have anything farther
to do with lighting, extinguishing or clean
ing the public lamps, and if the city desire
to light the same we will furnish the gas at q
reasonable price by metre. If the citizens
are not satisfied to pay US 1920 per thous
and, that viii end the matter, as we cannot
Afford to manufacture the article, at this
time, at less price.
