GAS COMPANY CUTS
PRICE FIVE CENTS
PER THOUSAND
Voluntary Reduction Means Saving
of 100000 a Year To Consumer
New Rate, Effective Sept. 1,
Applies To Suburbs, Too.
Aid. Lynch Says New Commission
Recently Appointed Will Force
Still Better Terms.

A voluntary reduction of Ave cents
per thousand cubic feet in the price
Of gas. effective Sept /. was an
nounced by the Detroit City Gas Co..
Friday morning, In commune alton
to City Clerk Charles A. Nichols.
To the average consumer. this
means that he will pay rs cents per
thousand. net. for his gas instead of 80
cents. as at present. rhe reduction
applies, however, to the companys en-
tire schedule of prices, which range
from 80 cents down to so cents per
thousand, according to the amount or
gas consumed. In other words, the
scale, after Sept. 1. will be from rs
cents down to 45 cents.
Irwin Butterworth, vice-president
and general manager OF the gas COM
pany, estimates that the reduction will
mean a saving of 100000 to gas con-
sumers OF Detroit and vicinity the
first year. II applies not only in De-
troit but In all its suburbs supplied
by the gas company.
This Is the third voluntary reduc-
tion In rates the gas company has
made In the past seven and one-half
years. The last was In 1906, when the
SO-cent rate was established.
The aldermen are inclined to attrib-
ute the reduction, at this time, to the
who are seeking a franchise from the
who are seking q franchise from the
civ and also m the recant rpsurreC-
ton of the gas commission. through
the efforts OF Aid. Thomas Lynch, OF
the Fifteenth ward.
For years the gas commission had
been out of business and had been
forgotten until Aid. Lynch
revived It. He furnished the mayor
with the names of four men he wanted
appointed, but his honor declined to
act. Lynch then had the men appoint
ed by the council direct. under the au-
thority OF an old clause in the city
charter, which almost everybody had
forgotten. He announced that his
purpose In bringing the gas commits
sion TO life again was TO Investigate
the gas company, with view to fore
ing lower rates, SO he Is taking some
or the credit for the present reduc-
tion.
80 far SO good, but that is not
enough reduction" said Lynch, when
he learned the news. I'VE are not
going to be satisfied with a rate OF 70
cents. II ought to be go cents. The
