Reduction in the Price of Gas.

An important change in the price of
gas has been made by the Twin State
Gas & Electric company. Beginning
with the October bills cumulative
discount will be figured on gas used
bv householders and for lighting and
heating purposes; that is, discount
of six cents a month from now until
April will be given on each thousand
feet used on basis of So per thousand.
This will make the price of gas $Lo4
per thousand feet by April ], and 1t
will remain at that rate until the COM
pany has sufficiently increased its
business to be able to make another
reduction. The Twin State company
has leased the north store in the new
American building. It will be used as
a waiting room for the street car line
and a place to display electrical and
gas fixtures. This company will also
have its office there instead of in Cros-
by block as at present.
