CHEAPER GAS.
The Commissioners Report on n

The Commissioners this afternoon made
their report House bill 15G0, to fix the
standard and regulate the quality and price

They say they have already recommended
House bill 4219, relating to the sale of gas
in the District OF Columbia If this bill. as
recommended, be enacted, there would be
no need Of the legislation proposed in the
bill under discussion. If. however House

mend that the bill before them blouse

few minor amendments, the most import
ant Of which is ore providing that gas be
furnished to consumers at the rate of not

What II Said Here.

union of the two universities. there srs e.
rors in both these statements as to the re-

tiations are at rather a delicate stage Just
now. and all parties are regretting that the
matter has received publicity before It was
finally and definitely settled. DR.. yelling.

purpose Of binding them still closer to-

None of the trustees were willing to be
quoted, but from a gentleman who Is close
ly identified with Columbian a good deal
was learned Of the prospects of the move

To say that an affiliation or consolida ton

would be an error. 1t is to be more In the
nature of a coordination cooperation

sphere of usefulness of BOTH without In any
way conflicting with the present character

dent Harpers, but has since grown far be-

that money is scarce this year and money
is needed in such movement, 1t would
probably be in operation by the opening OF
the coming collegiate year.
In the opinion of the prime movers of
the scheme the two institutions are so re-
mote from each other that they do not con-
f.ict in any way, and 1t seems that there is
an opportunity for closer union. Accord
ing to the plan suggested, the courses in the
two universities, so far as they have the

students may begin their education at
either and at any time switch off to the
other thus getting the advantage Of famil-
iarity with western enterprise and push
