Shall we Have Gas?

The Chess Carley Co, of Louisville
has submitted u proposition to light
the city with gas, that is the fairest
eyer made to it. They propose to re-
place the sixty.four oil lamps with
gas lamp posts, using the same LIANT
erns, and furnish gas six hours per
night, or longer If desired, at one cent
per hour, per lamp. The city is TO
grant them the right of way and ex-
empt them. from taxation for five
years. They are TO lay the pipes,
erect works etc. at their own expense
and the city Is TO contract for ten
years only. They will put up as
many lamps as the city may want,
not TO be lees than sixty. 1t Is esti-
mated that about rs lamps would be
enough. These, if lfPhtod six hours
for twenty nights, would cost 500 per
month. The lights are to have the
power OF IA candles. The additional
cost of the gas over the oil lamps
would be about 5000 per year. This
could be easily paid without any adj
ditional tax being levied. The prop
osition is very fair one aud the city
will never have a better one made to
1t. Hopkinsville will have to have
gas sometime in the near future and
this proposition should be accepted.
1t is for only ten years and IL salts
faction snot given, 1t can be dropped
at tho cid of the time. This is not
likely, however, as the company has
works In successful operation in Leb-
anon, Ky, Gallatiu, Tenn, and many
other towns half as large as ours.
They are also putting them up in
Columbia, Tenn. They will arrange
to furnish the citizens and private
corporations with gas at $500 per
thousand. The churches, the public
buildings, the public halls, the stores
and many residences could be lighted
by gas cheaper aud safer than by oil.
A meeting was held last night 10 dis
cuss the matter aud the council will
act on the proposition to-day. Let
us have gas, by all means.
