The Gas Question In Baltimore,

The citizens Of Baltimore have be-

tns newspapers Of that city are making
IT hot for the New York capitalists who
have purchased the old gas works. and
are now following the general practice
OF furnishing poor gas and presenting
large bills. The Baltimore Gasette says {.

Just about double what their Valuable
property and franchises cost them about
six years ago: At that time, the old Bal
timore Gas Company manufactured all
the gas consumed, and penetrated with
Its mains every inhabited street in the
CITY. 1t offered to sell out its monopo-
iy to the city for two and half millions
OF dollars. II did sell out a little later
to the New York capitalists. who now
nave possession of the monopoly. for
something more than that sum, and what
cost them three millions or less, we are
Se"olly told they will not part with for
less than six millions. Others saw thew
mold their valuable property and fran.
Gnlses ut seven millions. Doubtless
