The Gas Question.

Ar. Editor A communication in your
last paper, signed J. P, contains 80 many
Misrepresentation and distortions of facts
that desire 10 correct them that the pub
lie may not be imposed upon.
In October, 1869, a contract was made
by the city with the gas company to furnish
gns in the street lamps, and light and ex-
tingush the lamps at $3.50 per month for
each lamp for one year, At the end of the
year the city made no proposal to change
the price, and interpoBed no objection to its
contin usnce, and thus it went on ill Jan. /.
1877, when the gas company voluntai ~
teuuced the price for street lamps to $-.34
per month, and to private consumers from
$3.50 per thousand feet to s. 30; and again
in April, 1874, the price to private consun-
ers was further reduced to 81 90 per thousand
feet and street lamps to $3.50 per month
each. In October last, at the end of the
contract year, the gas company proposed to
the committee on gas to furnish the street
lamps with gas, and light and extinguish
them, at $3.50 per 1000 feet instead of
$3.50 per month for each lamp, which was
accepted by the Board OF Street Commission
ers, and the gas company is ready and
willing to comply Gu its part, and is only
waiting to have some further and definite
action on the part of said Board to have
the proposition fully carried out.
j. +. finds fault with the gas company
for reducing tie price of gas their
motive. are assailed, and whatever they do
meets his eensure. The Company only
wish 10 live and let live. They have never
made exhorbltant charges for gas, and do
not intend to. The price of gas at this
time in GAINESVILLE is $4.15 per Thousand
feet to private consumers, and for street
lamps $500 per 1000 feet. In Fond du
Lac, year ago, the price to private con-
sumers was $3.50 per 1000 feet, and for
street lamps $3.50 each lamp per month,
and | know of no change there since, in
both of which places the price of gas is
higher than it is hero.
Chicago and Milwaukee prices are not
fair comparison, as the price of coal, the
chief element Of the cost of gas, is cheaper
there than here, and must always be SO be-
sides, when large amount Of gas is man
ufactured, and there are a great number Of
street lamps and consumers to supply, it can
be made at less cost.

RAILROAD BOND DECIsIoN.-The
recent decision of the United States Su-
preme Court at Washington, in the case Of
"James VS. the City of Milwaukee," has Gre
ated no little excitement throughout the
ate, a.d especially in towns and Cities like
our own, with large railroad bonded in
debtedness hanging over them. We I'M
derstand the case to be about az follows:
In 1856 the city of Milwaukee issued $780,
900 in bonds to aid the Milwaukee & Be-
lott Railway, anil the same amount to tn e
Superior and Northern These lines were
never built; no Interest. was paid on the
bonds, and suit was brough t to recover the
interest due on twelve bonds. The Court
decided the bonds to ne good. The total
sum now due On them Is $500, 900, which
Milwaukee must pay, not wi,h,tandin the
city never received dollars benefit from
the transaction The Court held that bonds
payable to bearer should bs treated as ne
gotiable paper; and when authority exists
for issuing such bonds, no matter how ir
regular the subsequent proceedings may be,
the bonds in the hands of innocent purchas-
ers must be held good The lire of defence,
that there was no railroad corporation in
existence at the time Of the issuing of the
bonds, authorized to receive them, was not
sustained by the court. The case was ably
conducted on both sides-O. Fl. Waldo and
j. ". Cary for plaintiff, and E. G. Ryan
for defendant. The decision, we believe,
must affect number of other cases in The
state.
