An Indignant Consumer OF Washington
Gas Relieves His OverchHrged Mind.

Gas Relieves His Overchargcd Mind.
Tohe Editor
In compliance with the sensible suggestion Of
THE REPUBLICAN,, to compare the gas bills of last
year. when gas was 81 per 1000 feet, with those
Of this year, with gas at sl.75, have done 80,
and pres 1t the following result: My FIRST bill was
rendered nom the fifth OF November, 1889, to the
twen,y.tbird Of the sam month-eighteen days
My last bill was from the twenty third of October
to the twenty. y.ninth of Novomber-thlrty six
days. For eighteen dHysin November 1882 wns
charged SLIGO For thirty.six days inclusive !hs
year am charged S7.53, or 1870 for eghieln days
corresponding to last year, when for the same pc.
riod at gas 25 cents less Der 1000 feet, l was
There has been no leakage, no case Of illness
and no increase IN the members { the family. As
far as can judge burned more gus last year than
this.
Now, II THE REPUBLICAN will only urge twenty
or thirty citizens OF good topute to exhibit tneir
gas bills, compared with those of last year, the
wrong may be successfully exposed My gas bills
show tremendous increase since the price was
lowered last spring, and the quality becomes more
tho monopoly 70 show itself to congress. Con.
slider for one moment the effect OF q fraud like
charging s3.76 this year Tor what was fur-
nished last year ut SLIGO upon every house
holder In Washington; and then see how much
me gas monopoly has wrung from us. THE RE-
PUBLICAN claims 10 have the interest OF the citi-
zen OF Washington at heart. Let IL show IL by
making n thorough and systematic exposure of
the worse monopoly that ever afflicted n city
worse of than are. The district commissioners
have an extraordinary latitude and power in
dealing with municipal questions Cannot they
devise some method by which some kind of n
supervision may be exercised over this mnttgr7
The city of Richmond bought out the gus works,
operates them at profit and furnishes
good gas for moderate price Even If
wo had to pay the same price for the
stuff now furnished we might possibly be
persuaded that we are not being defrauded The
company has got itself in rcpte so bad that II
seems to think 1t might well keep In Its course,
rs It's repentance would not be credited. Let the
great number of congressman aud senators now
keeping house here demand to know when they
pay their first months gas bills what the bill for
% q, responding month Of last year was for that
house. II in three times out of four they find
them greater this year they viii be convinced of
what we know already-that the gaS company re
duGes It's price of gas in order to increase lis bills.
