q striking way the value Richmond has
in her gas works. II the pronosal 10
lease the works has done no more, u
has at least aroused the people to q
realization OF the worth Of this NUM-

mucl, to a private corporation, It ought
10 be worth quito as much to, the city OF
Richmond. Il a private corporation can
nut aside ~ handsome sinking fund from ON

out increasing the price Of gas, why can
not the city do as we'll in operating on

We do not believe that the people at
large wish to have thefiworks leased;
but If the city Is to continue to operate
the plant, they demand that 1t shall DC
on strictly business and scientnc princl-
plcs. and that tho best results be shown.
Wo agree with Mayor Mccarthy that
the best method Of management Is no
easy problem. We are OF opinion how
ever, that commission Is the best solu-
ton vet offered. D One thing assure, how
