Municipal Gas Plant.

From the New York Evening Post.
Wheeling. w. Va, is another small city
which claims to have solved the cheaper
gas problem through municipal ownership.
1t is city of As. 600 inhabitants, not large
enough, 1t may be said. to have invited cor
ruption in the conduct OF Its public busi-
ness. Up to 1871 the people Of Wheeling
paid a private concern $3.50 per Thousand
for inferior gas. Then the city bought the
gas plant for $4,000, and reduced the price
to So. A few years later the price was suo-
cessively lowered to 81 and to $50. and In
1883 1t was made 81. with 25 per cent dis
count for prompt payment, practically 76
cents. There IL hope Of even q further re-
duction. The gas 10 reported to Re Of the
best quality, and the plant has been re-
built and modernixed with the profits In
addition. $4,000 has been paid out Of tie
surplus on an expenditure Of $12O, 900 for an
electric-light plant for street illumination,
and this plant Il being run on the profits Of
| the municipal gas. There are said to be nc
restrictions to prevent private gas or cleo
| tric companies from entering the field. but
| Of course none has attempted to compesa
