Day before yesterday, before New
York Senate Committee, which was con-
sidering a bill to reduce the price Of gas
in New York city to 81 per thousand
cubic feet, MIR. Henry NJ. Cross spoke in
behalf Of several New York consumers.
He charged that the people had been
compelled to pay dividends upon watered
capitalization, and he gave figures com
piled from the records, which he said
showed that the companies comprising
the Consolidated Gas companies had paid
in a capital of 81, 100000. This capitali-
cation had been increased from the earn
ings TO 1900 600. and had been watered
to $S7,775,OOO. These companies, since
their organization, have paid $57,OO0oOO
in dividends. an excess Of SIS, 900 over
10 per cent. profit. The investors had
had returned to them more than two and
one half times the amount of their in
vestment, and besides, had been given
over S37 900 in stock, which was now
paving a dividend Of per cent.
Mr.. Cross said that the New York COM
panies were now selling about l2,OOO,O0OOO0
cubic feet of gas. He estimated the cost
of the manufacture Of gas at 80 cents,
the cost Of distributing at 10 cents, re-
newals and extensions at 10 cents. and
he allowed cents extra, bringing the
entire cost up to 60 cents. He said In
Boston gas was sold at C cents, and in
Cambridge at CT cents.
From all the figures which he presented
he believed that gas could be sold at 81
and the New York Consolidated Gas Com
pany could stlll make profit or
per cent; the Equitable 10 per cent, and
the Standard 51-2 per cent on their
capital stock.
In defence of his proposition to reduce
the price cents each year after the
first year. he said that the companies
might Increase their output Is or 20 per
cent. without increasing the cost.

WAITER METERS.

There is an item of $4,000 in the pro-
posed city budget for the purchase Of
water-meters. Our understanding, how
ever. is that the water-taker, or property
owner, rather, has to pay for his meter;
and so whatever expenditure the city
makes on this account IS finally returned
to it.
But we further understand that when
a person changes from the old system to
the meter system, he cannot return to
the old system, If he desires to do so;
and we are told that a good many people
hesitate on this account to make the sub
stitution.
If the meter system be an excellent
thing for the consumer. it would seem
that that fact would appear TO him upon
trial; and hence that the city would glad
ly allow the consumer to make the ex-
pertinent (at his own cost. without bind
ing him to hold on TO the apparatus,
whether it suited him or not.
So far as our information extends,
most people who are using meters are
well satisfied with them; but some others
are not, and these complain that they
cannot make the exchange. 1t IS alleged
that. when the water is excessively
muddy, it's flow is sometimes impeded TO
a vexatious degree by the meter.
The Dispatch is anxious for the meter
system to come into general use here,
because there appears to be no other way
by which to check the waste Of water,
and it will be some years before Rich
mond is able to enlarge her water-works.
So, to further this purpose, we would
have the city offer the most liberal terms
possible, to secure the introduction Of
meters.
OF this we are sure-the city has only
to convince it's citizens that it is plainly
to their interest TO use the meters, to
cause meters to grow in favor, until
their use becomes general.
