Either Low Price or Special Dividend.
To the Editor of the Press:
The Portland Gas Company through
its president processes to have reduced
the price of gas to a point where they
will not be able to pay "the ordinary
dividend. By ordinary dividend" we
presume they mean, the usual dividen d
of 10 per cent that has been paid their
stockholders from time immemorial. Is
there any need of their continuing such
enormous dividends? Ought not the
stockholders to be reasonably well
satisfied with say six or eight per cent
return, especially those who during the
last ten years have received in regular
and extra dividends 206 per cent on their
stock. Isn't it about time to give the
consumer rest; to allow him to get his
wind? The stockholders of this company
must be terribly insatiate, if after having
received nearly three quarters of million
dollars in dividends in ten years on a
capital of $3.50, 900 they should think it a
hardship to take six or eight per cent
annually. We appeal to the directors of
the company, if they are fully deter
mined not to part with any of their
enormous surplus to relieve the pressing
want of our city treasury and tighten the
burden of taxation for the present year;
that they put the price of gas at such a
point as to make the stockholders share
with the consumers part of the burden.
A r l,a+, 81, Il h., II 4
land to pay a reasonable, say six per
cent dividend to the shareholders The
cost of manufacturing and distributing
gas during the past year in the. city of
Portland has been 95 cents per 1000 feet.
While this cost is excessive compared
with other cities in New England Gsimi-
larly conditioned it will answer our pur-
pose. The Gas Company will sell their
product after July LIST, at $3.50 per 1000
feet net. Their profit per 1000 feet will
thus be So cents per 1000; or on the total
amount sold by them of say $4,000, 5000
feet, an aggregate amount of $685. or
something over per cent on their CAPT.
tall If they were still further to reduce
their price to ST. 40 per 1000 which is the
price in several New England cities not
so favorably situated as Portland, they
would be able to pay from their earn
ings from their legitimate business, over
six per cent on their capital. If the price
of gas should be still further reduced to
$1.25 per 1000 feet, the directors would
then be obliged to draw only about $1,000
from the income of their reserve fund to
pay six per cent dividend and would be
able to carry $4,000 to $4,000 year to the
principal of that fund or use it in making
extraordinary renewals and extensions.
The citizens of Portland demand of the
Gas Co. that they shall no longer abuse
the trust that has been committed to
them and continue to extort from them
prices not warranted by just consider
alton of the rights Of the shareholders;
or if they will not still further reduce the
price of gas, that they shall disgorge a
part least of the large sums unjustly
taken from them. S,

A SAD ACCIDENT.
A Coal Run Coilapses and Several Men
Hurt.

From the extensive coal sheds of the
Grand Trunk road at Fish Point there
is long platform, called run, which is
947 feet long, Is feet wide and 30 feet
high. At the end of this run Saturday
the schooner Major Pickands, Capt
Lathwaite, was lying with coal for the
Grand Trunk. A coal gang was engaged
in unloading the coal from the schooner
into the coal sheds. passing with their
barrows over the run.
While the men were briskly at work
Saturday afternoon, about A o'clock, the
men employed near the sheds heard
grinding sound, and without warning the
two stanchions holding the easterly end
of the run broke short off, causing the
run to collapse. and throwing men, bar
rows, coal and platform debris into a
confused heap. A report was current
after the accident that the wooden sup
ports of the bridge were rotten but
Agent Smith of the Grand Trunk, said
that the part that collapsed was for the
most part new and that foreman Findley
frequently inspected it and did SO after
the late rain and then found it all right.
There were five men ..badly. hurt and
three slightly. The five were these:
Thomas Silk, stageman, living at Al
Middle street, damned by barrow, back
badly wrenched, which was at first
thought to be broken, and hurt inter-
nally; Martin Hare, 66 Sheridan street,
face and leg badly injured;s John Nc
Cam, 81 Fore street, leg and ankle
hurt; Patrick Lally, Hancock street, leg
wrenched and otherwise injured; Darby
Flaherty, Bank street, stageman, wrist
injured; the others, Michael Carey,
Thomas O'Hare, James Hessian,
escaped with slight bruises. 1t
was miraculous, everything con-
sidered, that severy man on the run
on the run was not killed by the falling
timber. In the meantime Deputy ,Ster-
ling arrived with the patrol wagon and
theinjured were conveyed to their. homes
and physicians called.
Yesterday morning DR.. Fl. P. Merrill
found Mr.. Silk, who was the most in
jured of all the men, and who it was
feared at the time of the accident might
not recover, very much improved and he
thinks he will come out all right. The
other injured men will recover.
