that owing to the fact that the City OF
| Wheeling bought the gas works up there
end have since been making gas at 81 per
| 1000 feet burned, 10 per cent of, that ii
might not be q bad idea for Bellaire TO buy
the Gas works and supply the city, private
consumers and all. The idea met with
| considerable favor aud it will not be q sur.
prise il the matter is submitted to vote

siderably and have never resulted IN much
1 good to the city. while the terms offered
| for iive.yesr contract would have reducsd
| the price very considerably to the city and
| to all concerned -Bellaire Independent.
