Tho report was signed by Messrs.
Chambers and Shea only, Mr.. Curren,
the other member OF the committee, said
he did not sign because he objected to
ono item, but he declined 10 say which
one.
Mr.. Chambers offered o resolution
authorizing the mayor to oppoiut night
driver for the patrol wagon, which was
referred to the polios and finance COM
mlttees.
John Boughman was reelected city
auditor'a clerk.

thorizing tho police committee to have

ONLY AN ADDICKS BLUFF
TRYING TO FnIGRTEN TEE LOCAL
GAS BTOCRROLDBRs.
A Centennial Celebration i'm Pros
Pect-Addtrhs Trying 40 MAKE ~
Nig AfiUiF- What the EOcnl Gas
company Proposes 10 do.

George s.. CIpelle, vice e.president of
The Wilmington Goal Gas Company, was
asked Thursday whether that company
would oppose tho granting of the appli-
cation made to the Street and Sewer De-
partment isst night week, by the Oxy-
Hydrogen Company, for q permit to open
tho bed Of Shipley street for the purpose
OF layiaG ga pipns.
Mr. Ca! el Q sid that he thought it was
q matter under the jurisdiction OF tho
Htrset and Sewer Department nnd ha
must dNclino to say whether the Will
mi1gson Goal Gas Company would op-
pose the granting Of the application or
NOT. He thought it part OF the plan of
the company controlled by 6r. Addioks,
and another step in the efforts il is max
ing to fTighten the stockholders of the
Wilmington Goal Gas Company and force
down the price of stock or lead them to
sell out.
II is probable that the application will
be opposed, though Mr. Oapelle would
not make tho statement. He said that
he could not end any one who thought it
was TO the interest OF the city to have
the streets dug up for year or two
in laying miles of pipe, much to the
Inconvenience of the commerce and pos
sibly of the health of the city.
Mr.. Capelle said further that "any
company which has to deal with 900 or
g. GOO customers, cannot in the nature of
things be popular with every one, bat
| our company has always tried to pursue
| liberal course in providing good gas
| and reducing prices from time to time, Rs
fast as we could afford to do it. Also to
take our pipes to the remote parts OF the
city, often when it ia an actual loss and
will be for years to come; but in order
to keep abreast with the spirit OF inn
provement we have thought it our duty
to extend our pipes beyond aesual iu-
provcment aud think that we can point
with pride to the fact that we are Helling
gas lower in Wilmington than in any
other city of the same size not more
fsvorably located as to the coal districts
| than we are.
"We hope to have It still lower, If not
disturbed by unfair rsiding competition,
which has NO other object than that OF
making ruinous business for short
time and in the end to either buy or sell
out, saddling customers with gas plant
capitalized to twice what it should be,
which has been the result in other places.
Take for example Boston, where Mr..
Addicks aud hia associates have control
of the city and the adjacent towns. see
by report OF the commissioners that he
is selling gas at $1.30 thousand feet in
Boston proper and in East Boston 81. rs
where the consumption is, suppose, 20
times as much as in Wilmington. Also
Jersey City, whore he built works and
the two companies combined, he is sell.
ing at sl.75, and yet he proposes to fur.
nish gas in Wilmington for rs cents.
Why pr. such a tax upon gas consumers
in other cities 2"

passed at the previous meeting, the bal

Sc 600, was directed to be returned t
the levy court. This includes $4,000 in
