TO REDUCE
THE PRICE
OF GAS
City Committee Was Notified
To-day Of Five Per Cent Re.
duCtion After January.

AS result Of the recent investigation
Of the joint committee OF the city council
regarding the quality candle power and
price OF gas in Providence. Daniel F.
Hayden, clerk OF that committee was
informed by the gas company today that
after Jan. 5. 1904 there would be reduc-
ton OF per cent on all bills presented.
This will practically reduce the cost TO
the consumer from sl1O 10 SlO5h per
thousand feet.
This is the reduction promised by the
company 20 go into effect within three
years which was reported by the joint
special committee which conducted the
investigation.
When the committee met a number Of
complaints were received regarding the
poor quality Of gas which was supplied
and that the cost had been increasing
A comparison OF conditions here was
made and II was discovered that al
though some cities gave dollar gas very
few gave the candle power OF 20 which
the local concern aid for that sum, so
that the people were not so badly OF.
Cities like New York and New Haven.
Conn, with 22 and 2l candle power gas
charged but dollar thousand feet and
this company agreed as soon Is possible
to reduce It to sl.O5 per thousand
As the company pays the city the
equivalent OF ia cents on each thousand
feet sold. for tubes. water and highway
works this will be only rs cents for 1000
feet that the company will get.
The reduction will be a welcome one to
consumers and will amount To a consider

Besides the president. the parties 70

dent until today.
The result OF the conference at Saga

a strong intimation Is given that the Pc

the President and Secretary Hay is that
the Kishinerf incident should be closed as
soon as possible as further delay In its
consideration might prove embarrassing &
to this government in other diplomatic
negotiations with Russia.
Inasmuch as the Russian government
has indicated by the adoption OF severe
measures genuine disposition 70 punish
adequately the perpetrators OF the Kish-
ineff murders and In addition those who
instigated them. there is n problem for
the president and Secretary Hay TO solve
whether representa- tions concerning the

essary.
II Is suggested that the whole matter
may he resolved into brief statement
through diplomatic channels to the Rus
sian foreign Office that such a petition
Is in the hands OF the United States thus
leaving II To Russia whether IL would
or not receive the document II IL were
