The Gas Question.

Editors Dispatch: Let the conncilmen do
their duty fearlessly and reduce the pay OF
CITY officials in a rate corresponding with the
reductions that have been obtained in busi-
ness circles, and the question OF cheap gas
will be solved at once.
Az taxpayer, 1 am willing that every
man in our service should be as we'll remu-
nerated as be would be were he employed
by business-house Of good standing and
reputation. On that basis our expenses
could easily be reduced twenty-five per cent.
And who can say that it would be un-
lust? EARNEsTNESS.
