If the excellent plan for the relief of the
scheme. to which attention has been called
frequently in The Star of late, Is to be put
in operation In this city for the benefit of
the poor next winter no time should be
lost in making preparations and in raising
the comparatively small fund necessary.
An interesting document has reached The
Star containing a report recently submitted
in New York by committee appointed by
the charity organization society to investi-
gate the feasibility Of the project In this
it is stated that work was not begun in De-
troit before the middle of June, and this
delay embarrassed the effort considerably
be derived. This points to the necessity Of
prompt action If the plan is to receive
local trial. 1t seems that the entire cost
to the committee in charge in Detroit,
which was composed of some of the lead
ing citizens of the City of Straits. was only
about thirty-six hundred dollars, and from
this sum food supply was obtained that
enabled about a thousand families to pass
through the winter without having re-
course to the poor commission. Five or
six times this amount of money is raised
every year in Washington by donations
from the wealthy people, and little more
relief is given than seems to be derived
from the potato patches of Detroit in one
season. AS an economical means of aims
giving the scheme deserves immediate con-
sideration by those interested in charity
matters.

Now that all parties to the controversy
concerning the character of the work being
put into the new school building in south
east Washington have come together in a
determination to sift the matter to the
bottom and have cast aside mistaken no.
tons of dignity in exchange for an ap-
preciating sense of the Importance of the
case, 1t is probable that the charges will
be thoroughly and satisfactorily investi-
gated. 1t was a good and sensible decision
for the Commissioners and the representa-
tives of the Federation of Labor to- reach
such an agreement. A frank discussion of
the case, such as that had yesterday, could
not but be greatly to the benefit of the
citizens who are most concerned in the
question of whether or not this school
building Is being erected in a safe, stable
manner. This is matter of vital concern
to every parent. There should be no ques-
ton of the expense of an investigation in
a case like this for 1t will cost but few
dollars to ascertain with very little delay
the exact character of the work being done
on the building. The people should thank
the Federation of Labor for the interest
shown in the premises, for being composed
of men of technical experience this or any
similar organization Is well fitted to be a
guardian of the public interest In matters
of mechanical construction. 1t would have
been unfortunate indeed If the Commission
ers or the committee from the Federation
should have failed to agree upon course
of procedure through a mere lack of spirit
of accommodation toward each other. OFF,
cial and personal dignity may well be bent
on occasions where the safety of citizens
and their children is alleged to be at stake.

Cost of Making Gas.


From the Chicago Record.
Prof Bemis doubtless is right in saying
in his report to the Civic Federation that
the cost of manufacturing gas in Chicago
Is not more than so or 60 cents a thousand
feet and that the gas companies are en-
joying eXorbitant profits. Prof. Bemls' IN
vestigations on the gas question have been
exceedingly thorough, and he speaks with
the authority Of the impartial specialist.
Allowing 90 cents a thousand feet as the
actual cost Of making the gas. the Chicago
companies could sell the product at IS
cents a thousand feet and still make a
profit of 20 cents on every thousand feet
sold Calculating on the basis Of s. capital
for each thousand feet, the profit to the
companies would be about Z per cent.
Where the risk of loss is SO slight this rate
would be an ample remuneration for the
capital invested.
That gas could be profitably sold in Chi
cago for IS cents thousand feet is shown
by the fact that in some parts of the city
gas is now furnished for fuel purposes at
- cents thousand feet. The difference in
price is not caused by any difference in the
cost of manufacture, but by the fact that
the fuel gas is used chiefly in the daytime
when the consumption would otherwise be
very slight, and by the further fact that
reduced prices bring about a greatly in
creased use of gas for fuel. The consum-
ers are not much at the mercy OF the gas
companies In this case as in the case Of
Illuminating gas. for fuel gas has not yet
become so much Of necessity.
The city or Cleveland furnishes anOtner
illustration of the possibility Of selling gas
for rs cents a thousand feet. The city
council attempted to reduce the price to 60
cents, but the company fought the reduc-
ton, and secured compromise a rate
of so cents, the company being required to
pay the city 81 per cent of it's gross re-
ceipts. The price Of coal is slightly less in
Cleveland than in Chicago, but this differ
ence Is fully counterbalanced by the greater
consumption of gas in Chicago.
There should be q material reduction In
the price of gas in Chicago But it is alb
surd to suppose that this reduction can be
brought about by the competition caused
by the granting of new franchises. Any
attempted competition in gas always re-
suits. sooner or later. either in consolida-
ton or in the division Of territory. In the
meantime, the enormous waste involved in
duplicating the gas works and mains must
come out Of the pockets of the consumers;
so. too, must the cost of buying up new
companies which are organized for the pur-
pose of levying blackmail on the companies
already in existence.
Competition in the gas business is practi-
cally impossible. But the city Of Chicago
should insist upon its right Of examining
the accounts of the companies and regu-
ating in some way the prices charged.

A decision rendered recently by the Penn
sylvania supreme court regarding the right
of township authorities to grant the use of
public roads to trolley companies has
most important bearing Upon new phase
CT the rapid transit question that has just
now assumed considerable proportions. In
certain localities in the north and east
long distance trolley roads are being con-
structed and projected to parallel steam
roads which connect small semi-suburbdn
towns with large cities. The traffic along
the Sc routes is large and lucrative enough
to attract to the field the cheaper form Of
overhead electric propulsion which, being
inexpensive in establishment and maintep-
ance, quickly brings such a competition to
bear upon the older and more expensive
operations that the electric car is almost
sure to get the greater part Of the local
travel and the income from this source
Therefore enc % the greatest steam rail-
road corporations in the country, Itself in
terested to some extent in the question of
free right of way through cities, especially
in Washington, has persistently fought the
right of the trolley roads to the free use
of the public thoroughfares in the country
districts. The climax of the case has now
come In a decision rendered in favor of the
steam railroad which Is to the effect that
while city and borough authorities may
grant the use of the public Streets to troll
ley roads, township authorities have no
such power and in consequence a long
distance trolley road which crosses town.
ship in any part Of its route cannot law
fully be constructed in Pennsylvania with
out purchase of right Of way from private
owners. This Is eminently fair and just for
1t places both forms OF locomotion on the
Same level as regards suburban and rural
routes. The cost of right Of way would
materially increase the cost OF transporta-
ton and would diminish the difference be-
tween tine rates that could be afforded by

There are Indications that the Mystic
Order of Three might now more properly

that the Order is military in its nature, all

erly become the Mystic Order of st. George.
