THEY ARE FOR DOLLAR GAS.
South-Side Citizens Strongly Approve the
Move to Reduce the Cost of Light.

A sdollar-gas' meeting of citizens was held
last night at No. engine-house, on Virginia
About thirty people were in attend
ance, and resolutions encouraging the municipal
assembly 10 stand firm in it's demand for ST. gas
were unanimously adop ted. The meeting was
presided over by Frank Wheaton, with Chas.
M. Smith acting secretary.
Rev r. v. Hunter introduced the following
resolutions:
Be it resolved first That the citizens of the TWEEN
tieth ward and of the Fourth alderanc district il
dorse the course pursued by the councilman Of the
aforesaid ward and the aldermen of the aforesaid
district il xotng for doiar gas. Second. thatit is
the hope of this constituency that Councilman Stuck
meyer and Aldermen Iaut and Clark will stand
firm in the position which they have taken upon the
gas question.
Addresses favoring the resolutions were made
by A. ". Wishard. George Hits, Aldermen
Laut and Clark. Councilman Stuckmeyer, Squire
Seibert, ". 81. Wishard, r.. N. Cosby and Rev.
f. " Hunter.
The last named gentleman came armed with
memoranda aud declared he was in favor of
dallar gas for various reasons First. because
il could be furnished for that at large profit;
secondly because the Indianapolis company had
sold gas at 81 when the Citizens company was
operating, and If il could do then it could
now; and thirdly. because the facilities for doing
work were better now than then He said that
John R. Pearson, president OF the Citizens COM
pany, had testified that cost during 1881, 'S2,
'83 and "a. about SIS As cents per thousand feet
and that included attorneys fees leakage, torn
up pipes. etc. To day pipes were IN good condi-
ton Then the coal gas had been mixed
with coal-oil gas. which was lighter
and much less expensive. thus renducing
the expense materially At ST. so the company
coming money at rats not understood by
the people. There law providing that ev-
cry corporation should make annual statements
of its business the public. the directors and
mem oers would be individually responsible for
the CORPORATIONS debts, and rather than let the
people see the profits of their business they kept
their earnings quiet and risked the penalty.
Among the assets of the Fletcher & Sharpe Bank
there said to be $1,000 900 block of gas
stock on which four dividends of 25 cents ach
were declared annually. Now the company
proposed TO mix natural gas with illuminating
gas thus saving 80 per cent more of the cost.
At the conclusion of the discussion the reso-
lutions were passed by unanimous vote. An
other resolution was then offered, follows:
Resolved. That this constituency recommends it's
municipal representatives to insist that proper
officials shall compel the street-car company to fulfill
the provisions of its charter. whenever violated and
request better service the principal lines,

This created considerable discussion but was
finally passed, with dissenting vote.
