The introduction Of natural gas in
Oakland contemplated by the West
Virginia and Maryland Gas Company,
should the bill now pending in the
Legislature giving the corporation the
right to condemn right of way for its
pipe line be favorably acted upon, will
mean much for the town. Gas is the
cheapest illuminant for all purposes
now eXtant; as a fuel it stands far
ahead of coal in point Of economy as
well as cleanliness; its introduction into
Oakland will make it possible to es-
tablish industries that will employ
every person, male and female, now
residing here who desires work.
1t has been reported and generally
accredited that there exists in Oakland
some opposition to the gas measure,
but why, on one seems able to explain.
We have no competing gas light com
panies in this section of the country,
nor is there probability of any being
established, hence the accredited opposi-
ton to the measure is indeed far-fatch-
ed and the seal of disapproval should
be stamped upon it by those of our
residents who place the interests of the
community ahead of selfish narrow
mindedness.
