the gas frontage law Is that 1t forever
prohibits competition and prevents hun
dreds of thousands of people from hav-
ing necessary lights. With the law re-
pealed, the City Council can grant fran.
chiscs to a dozen new companies IL 1t
sees fit; the price of gas will be re.
duced at once. and gas mains will he
placed in streets where the monopoly
haughtily refuses to place them now.
Just think Of the Gas Trust having
the power to defy the city government
and to refuse to lay gas mains in streets
even after the people have paid for
them by special assessment!
Yet the Gas Trust does this every day.
In the City Council proceedings of
Dec. 10, 1903, page 100. a letter from
City Electrician Edward b. Elllcott to
Hon. J. $. sheahan, superintendent Of
the bureau Of special assessments, Is
published.
With this communication Mr.. ELL
colt returns n long list of streets upon
which gas mains were ordered laid by
the city. with n report that the Gas
Trust refused absolutely to lay the
mains. and that settled the matter.
The Gas Trust, and not the people. Is
boss.
The Gas Trust has no competition.
Therefore 1t can give the people light
where 1t sees At to give them light, and
can leave them In darkness where II
sees fit to leave them In darkness.
