The natural gas question IS being
very soberly and earnestly considered
by the average member of Council, and
it is noted that the more 1t is consid-
cred and talked about the stronger the
argument Of the company appears to
be. In private conversations members
admit freely that the company has very
evidently had a hard time of it, and
that as a money-mking device II has
been q dismal failure. so far as profits
from gas are concerned. Still, there
is q very natural desire to hang on to
what has been a good thing for indi-
yidual gas consumers, in the way OF
low rates. It has been very comfort
ing to Wheeling people in the past TO
know that they have been given gas
for fifteen cents a thousand feet, while
Little Washington, Allegheny, Puts
burg and q score Of other places have
have been paying all the way from
eighteen cents to twenty-five. During
the discussion which has been going on
between the city and the company the
past few weeks. some one dug up the
old petitions circulated by the Gas Com
pany two years ago, when the first con-
cessions were asked from the city.
These petitions were signed by some
hundreds of business men, manUfac-
turers and citizens generally, and
among them are several members Of the
present Council. II IS not unusual to
hear some one asserting that he is and
has been opposed to giving the Com
pany anything, Of any nature, When
his name IS on the old petition, in his
own writing. Recollection fades more
quickly than ink. Another peculiari-
ty of the discussion among the people
is that some of the warmest opponents
of the request of the company are men
who not only don't burn natural gas
now. but who never did burn it. HUI
man nature is a queer and perverse
thing. sometimes.

Nine out of ten calls to the Atlantic
are west of Eof street and north OF the
creek. and a move of a short distance
in the direction of the greatest nulllOeI
of calls is a move towards increased
general service, both on the north anu
south sides. Fourthly, any FouTtn
ward objection to moving One
Atlantic further west is compensate
ed for by the fact that the nook anu
ladder company is moved into Ine
Fourth ward. and thus that ward VIII
have the general protection OF a douOie
company where there is now q single
one: and this also applies to the ruin
ward. In an interverted way, Tor any
objection to the movement Of the hook
and ladder company from the soulh
to the north side of the creek, is met
with the argument that the company
would really be right at the edge OF
the ward. and that an engine COIL
pany would be brought right 10 the
edge Of the ward too, reaching all parts
of the Fifth ward in half the time IL
can from Seventeenth and EOtt streets.
In other words the consolidation, at the
vicinity of the Market street bridge
would be a good thing for both the
Fourth and Fifth wards, while consol-
idation at the present site of the Allan
tic. might be good enough for the
Fourth ward alone, but bad thing for
the Fifth. in removing its only fire
company a considerable distance away.
Filthy. to erect a sufficiently large
building on the site of The present At
landc house, even assuming that the
city could do it under the terms of the
original grant of the land, would ne
cessarily crowd the occupants Of the
dwelling houses adjoining on the east,
and lead to suits for damages. SiXthly,
the presnt hook and ladder house site
could be sold for enough to materially
reduce the cost of n new site. and II
the present Atlantic site can be built
on permanently. it can also be sold,
and the two pieces together would pro-
badly pay for the new site on or near
Market street There are other rea-
sons in favor Of q consolidation near
the creek bridge, but those here given
combine to make q toleTably strong ar
gument, without going further.
