Failure of the Effort for Cheaper Gas.

Failure OF the Effort for Cheaper Gas.
The Union seems anxious to find fault
with Alderman Lundy for the failure of
Watts, Bowman & Gray to keep their
pledge 10 regard to the purchase Of the
gas works. This is ungenerous and unfair.
Alderman Lundy was quite as anxious as
anybody that the scheme should prove a
success. These men applied to him to aid
them in securing from the council permit
to start new gas company. Was it his
duty to discourage the project? Ofcourse
not. 1t was his duty to do all he could to
secure cheaper gas for the people. Should
he be censured for this? That the effort
failed was not his fault.
Watts, Bowman & Gray came here with
excellent letters of credit supposed to be
genuine) and represented that they had
plenty Of available means to build new
works; that they were owners of other gas
works, at various points; that they
thoroughly understood the business, and,
if the council would grant them permission,
they would build new gas works and
furnish the people with gas at $3.50 per
| | ZOO feet less than they were now paying,
aud light the streets at greatly reduced
rates. Had any member Of the city coun-
ell refused to entertain the proposition he
would have been censured severely by the
people. The privilege asked by Watts &
| Co. was granted, but, in the meantime,
they bargained with Mr.. Harper for his
gas works, and proposed to carry out the
new ordinance. This was the better plan
for both parties.
But it turns out that Watts, Bowman
& Gray are dead-beats. They hung out
more clothes than they could dry. They
promised what they had not the ability tC
perform, and their action, Ia the light o.
their failure, is a gross insult to the PEG
pie, the council, and Mr.. Harper. They
went around town and procured signatures
to pledge to take gas, and a pledge OF
their part to furnish it at So thousand

And on Saturday, the Chicago Tribune,
in full, far and intelhgible statement #
the case, closed its article as follows:
Secretary Robson took the law into
his own hands, and, without the knowledge
or consent OF the senate, removed the
naval-tund deposits from the old reliable,
safe, and solvent house Of Barring Bros.
and placed the money N Tie wildcat bank
ing concern Of Jay Cooke, McCulloch x
Go. No: long afterwards, by reason of
reckless stock j3bbing and general misman-
agement Of their business. the Cooke con
Germ bursted up, with 100000 Of United
States money in their hands. After they
failed Secretary Robson took l,0G6, 734
gold dollars out of the treasury and sent
them to the London branch Of the broken
concern to help them pay some OF their
debts to other people 1t is three years
since they failed, and they still owe our
government 100000. The original debt
they owed the government when they
bursted was $500, OO0 so that only $780,
900 Of this money has yet been recovered
back. Robson violated the plain letter Of
the law when he turned over the naval
funds to J. Cooke & Go. without the con
sent OK the senate, aud he acted illegally
when he deposited million with them after
