In conversation with an TNTELLIaENCEE
reporter last night Mr.. William Finn
said: "There are some points which we
would like to have very clearly under.
stood. We have no quarrel with any
other company. There Is business enough
in this community for two companies and
doubt whether three could more than
supply the gas that will be required; but
our company does not propose 10 come
into Wheeling, which has already granted
an exclusive privilege. II, however, your
Council permits your manufacturers to
meet US as we cross the river, and bring
our gas In for their own purposes, there
will still be larger demand in Wheeling
than any one company is likely to be
able to supply for some time to come.
We are not here asking anything OF the
city OF Wheeling; that Is o matter be.
tween the city aud the local manufactur.
era. The second point Is that we have
the gas. We have our wells already
flowing to turn into the pipes as soon
as we can get Il laid. The third point Il
that we have the pipe. l need hardly add,
after what l have already said, that we
have the money. TO carry the project
through. We only await the leave Of the
municipal corporations on the other side
q the FLYER 10 60 ahead aud begin work,
We ask no exclusive privilege anywhere,
for we know that we could not supply the
whole demand, and we are not afraid oil
free competition. In making our con.
tracts we have proceeded on the basis OIL
the Philadelphia Company Of Pittsburgh
and we expect 10 continue this policy
with all other manufacturers who may de.
sire our gas, and with all householder
across the river whom we may sup
ply. We are waiting now the action
Of the Councils Of Martins Ferry
and Bridgeport, the Bsllaire Council
having passed the ordinance tonight.
We have stated the proposition very
clearly over thSre and think that no OBJ.
staCleB will be placed in our way. II Ia oil
great Importance, however, that whatever
Is to be done shall be done as soon as posi-.
6le, for we are Under contract to have our
gas In by October !, and we shall try 10
get In even earlier than that. We would
like 10 have our ordinances passed In

There has been some comment during
the last few days among the workingmen
Of tho city upon the reported action Of this
company in the employment Of laborers at
reduced rates OF pay, The worklngmen
have always looked with peculiar favor
upon this little road as the only CON
yenient means by which they could enjoy
a visit to the country, and seem to be dis.
appointed at the Company's supposed in.
difference TO their rights. The officers OF
the road deny that there Is any ground
for the report, and no one has been found
who could say OF HE own knowledge that
any one had been employed upon the
road at less than the customary wages. It
Is not known who has put this report in
circulation nor how 1t has been kept 60
ing with 80 little foundation, but the Of
ilCers Of the road have resolved that an
end shall be put To 1t in way about
which there can be no uncertainty. They
have stopped work on the improvements
east Of the city, and will not resume until
they are sure that no dissatisfaction exists,
either among those In their employ or
among other Workingmen throughout the
city. They know how largely they must
depend on the workingmen for the travel
on their road and prefer to delay the COM
pletion Of their improvements rather than
that any breach should occur In the good
feeling Of the public toward the road.
