interests of domestic consumers. l am
not prepared TO say that the shutting off
Of the supply to the crematOry, VIII re-
move complaints during the winter. but
l know that it will aid materially in
furnishing the proper supply"
do you concede the validity of the
contract between your company and the
city," asked the reporter.
THAT is a hard question to answer,
since am not an attorney, and we have
not consulted counsel n the matter. I
have always had a suspicion, however,
that the contract would not hold. In
entering into the original agreement
there can be no doubt that both sides
OveT-reached themselves. We have al
ways sought to improve matters by con-
sulta,ion, rather than by litigation. We
have shown that we are in debt, and
have been losing money for eighteen
months, and l do not see why Council
should not look at the matter IN prac-
teal, business-lke way. / am SIRE the
domestic consumers will approve Of our
action, when they understand that we
are making an effort to furnish them
with a proper supply Of gas during the
winter"
But it has been stated by some Of the
papers that you are selling gas in Pitts
burg" suggested the reporter.
Il am heartily tired of denying that
statement was the reply. I'VE have
never sold gas in Pittsburg, and do not
intend to. There is not a pipe ltne
within four miles of us, which enters
Pittsburg If there was any money to
be made from that source we would
have gene into It long ago"
Speaking generally, OF the source of
supply, Mr. Heard said that no person
could tell where gas is located. The
Inteltgencer stated that there is gas
near Wheeling and he proposed TO have
a consultation with the editor. to
ascertain just where it is to be found.
To pipe the fluid from Tyler county to
Wheeling would cost $3.50, 600, and the
company would not be justified in such
an expenditure. He hoped to find gas
in sufficient quantity in the Colerain
field IN Belmont county.
The consultation between Mr.. Heard
and Mr.. Boyce, was concluded with an
understanding that a meeting of the
Health Committee viii be called within
few days and Mr.. Heard will make an
effort to be present.

Tuesday afternoon the supply of gas
to the city crematory was shut off by
the Natural Gas Company of West Vir-
GINA, without any notice being given
to the proper officials, or the Health
Committee. The gas has been furnished
free by the company, under provisions
Of a modification Of the original
agreement between it and the city. Yes
terday large amount Of garbage accu-
mulated at the crematory, and this con-
ditio1 Of affairs IS likely to continue IN
til some course of action is decided upon
by the Health Committee. The s.tua-
ton was generally discussed among city
officials yesterday, and the arbitrary ac-
ton Of the company in shutting of the
supply without giving notice, was freely
condemned.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. George
Heard, general manager Of the Gas
Company, arrived in the city from PITTS
burg, and last night he had a confer
ence with City Solicitor S. o. Boyce. in
which he gave the c0mpany's reasons
for shutting off the supply. Mr.. An
drew Hare, the local manager for the
company, and a Register representative,
were present.
Mr.. Heard was indignant about the
published statement that ne was actua-
tea by peevishness. The company had
found It necessary, in order to furnish a
sufficient amount of g3s to domestic con-
sumers, to shut off Uhe supply 90 all
b igh pressure consumers, including the
crematOry. the North Wheeling glass
factory, Schenk & Sons. and others
During the last few days complaints
have been coming in from home con-
sumers. and it was found absolutely ne
CesSary TO shut off the supply to the
large consumers. If the company re-
ceived $1,000 a month for The crematOry,
it's action would have been the same,
he said. as the company could not afford
to risk the loss Of Its 5000 connections
i'm the city. He alleged that the con-
sumption Of the gas at the crematory
was enormous, and this fact was in a
measure ult 10 NAeLI- lftLI1A. llN
amount of gas burned at that institu-
ton would supply the Island.
your Council should take a practical
view of this matter" he continued. The
city Of Wheeling has had a good thing
for nine years. with reference to it's COM
tract with the Natural Gas Company Of
West Virginia. 1t has been furnished
with free gas to the aggregate value Of
q quarter of a million Of dollars. The
crematory burns $4,000 worth Of gas an
nually. which would mean $4,000 for
the nine years. The Health Committee
must be governed by the present condi-
tfcn of things, a condition which is
quite beyond our control. tt is about
rs sensible TO try to place the blame f0s
the drouth. as for the shortage of gas.
We are confronted with a scarcity al the
advent Of cold weather How much
worse would it be during the months Of
December and January? One source Of
the present trouble is the scarcity Of
water with which to run our pumps.
eve have no desire to embarrass the
Health Committee in the operation of
the crematory. and we are perfectly
willing to help ont when it is possible.
If there are accUmUladOns Of garbage,
we might turn on the gas on warm days,
or at night. but we must look after the

At HIS OLD TRICKS

1t is now said an epidemic of typhoid
fever is prevalent in Wheeling. A dis
patch from that city says thirty cases
have been reported in seven days. So
far there have been no deaths. but
number of patients are very low.-Bell-
aire Independent.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that
there is not one truthful word in the
above clipping. It is false from one
end to the other Wheeling is and has
been very free from typhoid fever, dur
ing the whole of this year. while other
cities and towns have suffered severely.
1t is pity that such publications
should be constantly made by neigh
boring Ohio papers regarding the
health of this city, without any attempt
to verify them.

THE CHEAP GAS EXPERIMENT

4
To the Editor of the Register:
Sir:-Before the city has much or
even anything to do with the expert
ment of making cheap gas from oil
would it not be we'll 10 enquire closely
into the question of cheaper gas from
coal. and contrast the two methods?
1t may be that the Harvey idea, while
a good thing for that gentleman and
the company back of him, is not the
best for the city. Mr.. Harvey and his
company are not here for fun, nor yet
for their health. They expect to make
a good deal of money out OF the gas
consumers of this city, or they would
not be found putting in an expert
mental plant here. This being so, we
should not be anxious to rush into
new thing until we ascertain just Where
We stand.
AS to gas making from coal, L am
told the labor cost here is in excess OF
soc per LOCO feet, while l am assured
that 15c would be big price, that many
private companies make gas for l2c per
/ 900 for labor cost, and that lew
companies have run the cost down 10
gc per ]. 900. Let us take the limit, ana
assume the labor cost here can be cut
TO 15c per / 900. That would be a saw
ing of over 15c per 1000 feet, or more
than the citys share Of the saving MI
Harvey says he can make. And If most
carefully managed private companies
find 12c per 1000 for labor cost sum
Gent. the saving in favor OF economic
ally produced coal gas might be MADE
proportionately greater.
What is done elsewhere can
surely be done in Wheeling, and we
should not be in hurry to put the CITY
into the clutches of the Standard on
Company or Of any corporation n
search of fat pickings until we nave
fully examined all sides of the sltua-
ton. GAS OO-No = -'ii'1''

UNIiIPEiCHABLE TESTIMONY.

Successful Results.

DIR. George F. Brooks. % Temple place,
Boston, says:
81 have used a good many rheumatism
medicines in the course of my practice,
but L can candidly say that | never saw a
remedy as effective as Munyon's Rheuma-
tlsm Cure. | gave the sample bottle got
Monday to one OF my patients, lady, who
has had chronic rheumatism in her limbs
Tor years. Her knee and elbow joints were
stIf, and she suffered great pain. It's
effect was simply marvellous. Relief from
pain was obtained in few hours after the
first dose, and inside of twen:y-four hours
for years. l shall prescribe MUNYON'S
Cure for all cases of rheumatism that come
under my care in the future"
Munyon's rheumatism Cure is guaran-
teed to cure rheumatism in any part of
the body. Acute or muscular rheumatism
cured in from one to five days. 1t never
fails to cure sharp, shooting pains in the
arms, legs, sides, back or breast, or sore
ness in any part of the body in from one
to three hours. 1t is guaranteed to
promptly cure lameness, stiff and swollen
joints, stiff back and all pains in the hips
and loins. Chronic rheumatism, sciatica
Iumbago or pain in the back are speedily
cured.

on file, and this fact, coupled with the ex-
listing untriendly relations between she
board and the faculty of the California
Medical College, has caused no end of
trouble. Is the attention of not only the
Mayor, but tn e Governor as we'll, has been
called to the matter, this fight for suprem-
acy between the practitioners of the differ
ent schools Will probably be carried on in
definitely.
"Why not settle this question at oncei
Why not take Mayor Sutro's advice and
hold discussion relating 10 this matter
straighten it out and give US justice?" ex,
claim the eclectics and homeopaths. But
the allopaths merely shake their heads, look
wise and refer to that section of the politi
cal code which was enacted for the govern
ment of the Board of Health in 1872 and
amended in 1899, and which reads as fol
lows:
OF San Francisco consists OF the Mayor OF the
City and county and four physicians in good
standing residing in the City and County OF
San Francisco, appointed by the Governor
holding their offices for the term of FIVE years
81 am a member of the Board of Health
and was appointed legally, as were also the
rest of the members OF the board,' said
Dr. G. j. FitZgibbon yesterday, "and we
intend TO use our authority in our Office as
far as the law will allow US, and no
farther.
'In regard to the communication re-
ceived from DR.. Maclean of the California
Medical College, asking the board to grant
permission to the students of that college
to visit the City and County Hospital, /
can say that | hardly believe that they will
be allowed to visit the hospital, at least not
during the term of office of the present
board.
"Why should the students of eclectic OF
homeopathic schools be admitted to the
City and County Hospital?
There are no teachers there from either
OF the schools mentioned under whose in
struction they could be placed, and,
further, eclectic or homeopathic gradu-
ates are not recognized either by the
graduates of regular schools or by the
State or Government officials.
at is true that they are recognized by
the law as legitimate practitioners, but
their schools are an offshoot from the
regular school, and the regulars look upon
their system Of medical practice as nothing
more nor less than quackery.
''The regulars or allopaths, as they are
called practice medicine only in one way,
and that is the right way. The others are
merely side issue, and any one practlc-
ing medicine in any other than the allo-
pathic form of practice must be either a
knave or fool.
Mayor Sutro suggested that we hold a
discussion with practitioners of the other
schools in regard to the admitting OF
students to the hospital but q discussio n
is not necessary as the board has post
poned looking into the matter indefinitely.
''rhis is not personal prejudice" said
DR.. Fitzgibbon, 'and, in conclusion, will
say that as far as | am informed regardin g
the way the rest of the board looks at the
question under no circumstances will an
eclectic or homeopathic physician be rec
ognized by them, nor will the present
board allow students of those schools to
visit the City and County Hospital"

Ex-Surveyor Fitzhugh to Be
Investigated by the Grand
Jury.
HE COURTS FULL INQUIRY.
False Estimates Said to Have Been
Returned Favoring Contractors
and Mulcting Taxpayers.

Ex-City and County Surveyor Fitzhugh
has written communication to the Grand
jury IN reference to the charge alleged
against him of making false returns in the
matter of the grading of D street, which
the jury proposes to investigate. Fitzhugh
invites an investigation and asks to be
summoned to appear, and produce papers
and records which ne says he has in his
possession.
The charges grow out of what Fitzhugh
shortly before the end of his term of office
alleged was an error in his filed notes,
which had it not been corrected would
have cost the property owners some $4,000
additional assessment and the City some
$4,000 its share for park frontage. 1t is
alleged that Leon Quimby was employed
to resurvey the street and estimate the
quantity of earth TO be removed and that
his figuring made a difference of 123, $50
cubic yards less than Fitzhugh had made
it, which at cents per cubic yard, the con-
tract price, amounted to $S651 80.
Quimby notified Fitzhugh of the dis
crepancy, but that official paid no atten-
ton to it and issued the certificates for the
assessment.
The Board of Supervisors, however, sub
sequently repealed the resolution fixing
the assessment and passed another; and
subsequent to that Fitzhugh issued an
other certificate cutting down his figures,
but still leaving some &c. 750 cubic yards
above those of Quimby and in the con-
tractors favor. The property-ownerst thus
call for an investigation.
1t is said that the book containing the
field notes disappeared at the time Mr..
Fitzhugh left the Office of the City and
County Surveyor and cannot now be
found.
