Notice 10 Gas Consumers

The Wilmington Coal Gas Company desires
10 announce tofts many patrons that the prices
and terms for gas after January 1, lsS9, win
be as follows:
For all Illuminating and heating gas, in
cluding that used for stoves OF all kinds, 81 80
per thousand cubic feet, subject to discount
OF 10 cents per thousand feet If paid for within
ten days Of delivery of bill.
Bills Will be delivered quarterly, monthly. or
o1tener II consumers desire it, or IL the COM
pany thinks 1t desirable. In cases of clubs,
societies. etc. etc, or of individuals, where
there is no individual or financial liability, ad-
vance payments will be required.
our present price for gas is believed TO be
loWer than that Of any city of It's size similarly
situated in this country, and the only way In
Whlcn TINS low price can be maintained is by
prompt collection of bills and the consequent
avoidance of bad debts. With this object In
view we ask the cooperation of our patrons,
even Ihough u Inconvenience them somewhat
70 pay at our office, or mail checks within the
time named. This feature IS SO Important to
us that the discount In the future will not
be allowed TO any consumer under any cir
cumstances after the ten DAYS have expired.
and In default OF payment after that the gas
will be shut off.
Complaints for supposed errors must be
made Immediately after receipt of bill. so that
examination can be made and reported on or
before the ten days limit expires. as the officers
nave no autority 10 modlfy our rules or permit
delay in settling.
meter, which must be accepted as the measure
ment for gas consumption in each case. Com
parisons with bills of others are too uncertain
to be seriously considered.
With prompt payments, no bad debts, i'm
proved processes in manufacturing and lower
prices for materials we indulge the hope Of
| still lower prices at no very distant day, and
as an evidence Of our faith in this prospect we
| point with pride to our list Of prices for gas
| for the last twenty-four years, having in mind
also that while the prices have lowered the
quality Of the gas has improved.
Price in 1864, $3.50 per thousand, net
| Price in 1868, $500 per thousand, net
| Price in 1872, @2.7O per thousand, net
Price in 1876, $3.50 per Thousand, net
Price in 1879, $500 per thousand, net
Price I'm 1881, $3.50 per thousand, net
| Price in 1882, S1.BO per thousand, net
Price In 1887, @1.35 per thousand. net
| Price in 1889, S1.35 per Thousand, net
We desire to sell gas to every person who II
| willing to pay for ii upon our terms and con
/ ditions, but we do not wish to have any Gus
| toners who expect to dictate their own prices
| terms, times or modes of payment.
1t is not right that parties who pay promptly
should be saddled, even indirectly, with tn.
| losses and delays of delinquents.
| BY order of the Board,
EDWARD BELTS, President.
