PRICE OF GAS in THE CITY.
Taxpayer Complains About Freak
Registration Of Meters.

ntHisiIdIOU VI mtltTts
Editor Of THE EVENING JOUUR-
NAL: THE EVENING JOURNAL be-
ing a paper interested in the welfare
of the people OF Wilmington, / want
10 call the attention of all consumers
OF gas, through the columns of THE
JOURNAL. to the way that they have
been treated by the use OF freaky
registration of meters. Gas is now
costing the consumer as much per
month as Il formerly did per quarter,
and both the city and private con-
sumer are being systematically bled"
by the registration OF the meters, and
gas instead Of costing 80 cents per
thousand feet is costing them $1.90
per thousand feet, and while the gas
company admits that many meters are
somewhat defective and pretend to
want to adjust IL With the consumer,
the percentage that they offer the
oyercharged consumer is nothing
more than TO hoodwink the public as
to their fair dealing and willingness
to adjust It satisfactory to all GUS
toners alike.
think this has gone along far
enough to convince the people of VIII
mington to wake up and protest
against such treatment, and they
should not forget that Mr.. Addicks Of
fered them gas at 75 cents thousand
feet. and offered them by contract
to furnish it for a number of years,
aud he could have paid % per cent.
dividends at that price a short time
ago I'm Baltimore. Md. The new COM
panies furnished consumers at so
cents a thousand and then paid 10 per
cent on the money invested IN their
companies. The old companies could
not stand this abuse, so they bought
the new companies out and consoli-
dated them with the old. and yet they
are giving their patrons cheaper gas
than Wilmington has had at any time.
Let me cite to the people Of Will
mhgton what New York city is doing
and has been doing. The law pro-
hibits any gas company in the city or
any part OF the city. from charging
more than so cents thousand. Now
let the taxpayers and consumers of
gas and electricity. either build a
plant to be controlled by the city and
furnish what our city needs. better
light, and more Of IL, at cheaper rate
both for the city and private con-
sumer or invite competition In this
line. and then the city and private
consumer will be treated fair and
Just.
Yours for competition,

the progress OF business contraction
has been most pronounced. This has
contributed notably TO the growth Of
confidence without which active enter

extent by the other Industries, the bet

markets, and the increased confidence
resulting therefrom are the three most
important developments Of the week.
The betterment In iron is chiefly in

DELAWARE COLLEGE MULE.
Mr.. HossInger Answers the Question
Asked BY "FOurth Street"

Mr.. H0sslnger Answers the Question
Asked by "FOurth Street."
Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
In answer to the question asked by
Fourth Street." I'm THE EVENING
JOURNAL of January 26. regarding
the mule purchased for the college
farm, | desire 10 make the following
statement. In the spring OF 1910 there
was at the college farm, a mule that
they had difficulty in mating. One was
offered from the American Hard Fibre
Company which suited fairly we'll. and
for which a price Of S400 was asked.
accompanied Mr.. Hayward to Balti-
more IN search Of a satisfactory mate
for said mule.
We found one that mated well in
size, but was very sore from city use,
an ailment which we thought might be
easily cured by farm work. Mr.. Hay
ward purchased the mule for $3.50 and
had him shipped by freight to New
ark. Delaware. While he Is not an alb
solute cure as yet, he has sufficiently
recovered to do all the work required
Of a sound mule The slight soreness
which still remains I'm no wise pre-
vents him from being an efficient
worker. He is still at the college farm
and is worth much more money today
than Mr.. Hayward paid for him.
AS this is the only single mule that
has been bought for tho college farm
and as no mules have been sold from
It, this Is undoubtedly the one TO which
Fourth Street" refers.
