AS will be seen byan article ON the
outside Of this issue, arrangements
have been entered into by the City
Council to have water introduced in
to the city, and now we have the
pleasure of adding the ordinance
which is to give Spokane Falls gas
works. These two important factors
will be in operation about the same
time, providing the city with both
cheap lights and cheap water This
evidence of the growing Importance
of the place carries out the promises
Of future that we have 50 often
spoken Of, and clothes the Falls with
n greater metropolitan air than could
lie produced by any other improve
ment. Like the water proposition,
the franchise for gas has been award
ed tO parties who have the required
capital for carrying out the project.
The incOpOratOrs of the new COM
pany are Henry $. jackson, of Phil
adelphia, who controls the gas COM
pany Of that city and is interested
in gas companies in numerous cities
in the Union, Henry l.. Moody, of
Portland, a gentleman of wealth and
experience in the same business, and
Israel c. Townsend, who claims
Spokane Falls as his place Of resi-
dence, and who is well known in the
community. The company expect
to commence work as early in the
spring as will be deemed practicable,
and willpush the work forward with
dispatch. 1t should be a source Of
congratulatiOn to the people that the
parties taking hold Of this matter
are responsible and competent men,
and at the same time, while they, as
a corporation, may be honorable i'm
all their intentions, yet it is to the
credit of the Council that it has
taken a wise course in 50 construct
ing the ordinance granting the fran
ehise that the COnplny erjIys no
privileges that in the future may
prove oppressive to the consumer.
We have no desire to see a DISPOSE
ton manifested by the authorities to
tramp or throw cold water upon pub
lic improvements Of this class by too
stringent enactments, yet at The
SINE time it Is just and proper that
