III ere has been no enterprise inaug
rated in Findiay for many years in
which the people have faxed so much
pride a. the building OF the Findlay
Gas Light Company. The pride and
satisfaction which has thus been felt
expressed is well warranted as there is
no better works of their size in the
State. Many improvements have been
made since the present superintendent
Mr.. T. H. Phillips took charge of the
works The price charged for gas has
however has TO ii greater or less extent
limited tie CONSUMPTION. Oyertures
have been frequently made with the
company 10 reduce The price but owing
to the comparatively small number of
consumers they havebeeu unable to do
so. In order to incIeI the consumption
and give the citizens all the advantage
possible. the company ARE now putting
ia ser, ices, at the IUere cost Of the pipe
and Tire labor and hope by this means
to secure IL greater number OF cOnsIIin-
ers. Putting in the service pipe at its
cost is great saving with the people
over What they had formerly had to
pay and quite q number of our citizens
. have taken advantage of the reduc-
ton. 1t is to be hopeful that by this
plan tla company will receive sufii
