EST|mATE YOUR
own GAS BILLS

The day is fast passing when the
public can be imposed upon with
impunity. Witness Chicago, Toledo,
Cleveland, Philadelphia, Cincinnati,
st. Louis and New York.
There will never be another coun-
Gil in this city that will dare pass
an ordinance saddIing IS candle
power, uninspected air-sas at $1.75
or even $3.50 per thousand upon
the long suffering public.
How is the consumer to know
when his bills are crooked, that he
may demand Justice?
We will give you some of the
gas peoples own statistics, and you
can do some figuring for yourself
and take the result with your bill
to the gas company's Office.
The ordinary open gas burner
consumes from to 10 feet an hour,
The Welsbach consumes 4 to 5
feet an hour.
The ordinary four inch burner on
gas stove consumes 20 feet an
hour.
The ordinary six inch gas burner
consumes from So to SO feet an
hour.
The ordinary perfected pipe in a
gas baker consumer about the same
as six inch burner.
With these statistics, the con,
sumner who keeps tab ON his gas
consumption by hours-and the fig.
ures are based on a full force flow
of gas-can approximate his con-
sumption for a given period.
But more about gas at another
time. 1t is large subject.

Communications are coming In
daily to The Press setting forth
-outrases on decency and justice
perpetrated by the gas monopoly
on its consumers. Some of these
will be published later. At present

Next to the unlawful and indie
feasible hold-up, called deposit,
demanded by the gas company of
its consumers, the most complained
of abuse connected with this mon
opoly is the crooked" bill. Mis-
takes occur now and then with the
best regulated corporations. But
these mistakes are at rare inter-
walls and then the well-regulated
corporation does its best to correct
them and discover the source of
the trouble, that it may not occur
again.
With the local gas company, we
believe We can show that the
crooked" bill is not the rare thing.
1t Is a thing of everyday occur
renee. 1t indicates either careless,
ness, willful negligence or down
right dishonesty in the manage
ment. They have occurred so often
that the people are coming to be-

said: Nothing to this talk about

against Beaudraud, who is on trial
today is that of attempting to bribe
an officer. Perry had brought the
$40 before Commissioner Marshall
at the preliminary hearing as addi-
tional evidence. He acknowledged
takin gthe money for the purpose
of cinching his man.
Judge Whitson ordered United
