REDUCTION OF
THE GAS RATE
Change Effective Tomorrow
Run Line to Roosevelt.

Dollar gas will become effective
in this city and over all other lines
controlled by the Perth Amboy Gas
Light company beginning tomorrow,
October 1, In accordance with q de-
on June %. The change, which re-
duces the price on 1000 cubic feet
of gas from a gross rate of $1.40 to
S1.25 and the net rate from $1.15
to S1.00, was brought about by the
activity of the Board of Trade and
the desire of the gas company to
favor its consumers as much as pos
sible. Although the gas company
do not admit the Board of Trade
was Instrumental in securing the re-
duetion, for they declare they had
the change under consideration be-
fore approached by the trade board,
they do declare this organization
made its appeal at a very opportune
time.
According to the rate to become
effective tomorrow, the consumer
paying his gas bill on or before the
fifteenth Of the month following the
receipt Of the past months bill will
be allowed a twenty-five cent dis
count on the gross rate Of s1s25,
or a net rate of S1.00 per 1000
cubic feet providing at least that
amount of gas is used per month.
The old rate was S1.40 per cubic
foot and a reduction of twenty-five
cents allowed on this gross rate, If
the bill was settled before the If
teenth of the following month. The
new rate means a reduction of If
teen cents on all gas bills, whether
paid on or before the fifteenth of the
month following the presentation of
the same.
Expect More Consumers.
It will be the first time in the his
tory Of this city that gas will be sold
at such a low figure, which favora-
bly, compares with rates in other
cities of this size. New Brunswick
has dollar gas" and South Amboy
will have the same, both supplied
by the Public Service company, and
the local concern aver the
ers should be pleased with the vol
untary reduction. The Perth Am
boy company has no opposition.
They expect more customers, of
course, and A. F. Reitemeyer, secre-
tary of the company, stated today
be believes the cheaper rate Will ap-
peal to many who before could not
touch the present figure. He said

THE BASKET BALL GAMES

We set up an item yesterday in
regard to the basket ball games
between Elko and Reno, but when
we read the proof we found that
it was badly off. So here goes for
another. e..
The games Friday and Saturday
nights were we'll played by the
home boys or else the Reno team
played very poor ball. This is
shown by the scores. Friday night
the home team piled up a scnre Of
4S t. l9 and the next night they
won by score of'26 to IL.
The Reno boys. according to the
report in the Sagebrush. think the
Elko boys were rather rough in
their play and that accidents to
their players were the causes of
their defeats. But with these
stings, they say that they were
treated we'll and had a splendid
time. The boys probably came
here with the idea that they would
wipe the Elko boys off the ealth
and we're so badly Whipped that
they thought in necessary to have
some excuse. Hence the charge
that they were rough-housed.

4 TRYING PRESIDENTIAL
PROGRESS

President Taft's pleasant iaunt
of l3. 436 miles being at an end, it
is interesting to compare it with
the little Journeys" of other
presidents in the past, and more
especially with that of Andrew
johnson, in 1866. For Johnson's
tour of few thousand miles was
In his own time considered the
most remarkable thing of its kind
on record. So we read in the New
York Evening Post, which reminds
US that the facilities for travel
were not what they are now, and
that then even President was
forced to be lust forgiving and
submit" In Johnson's case:
At Niagara Falls the presidents
speech was interrupted by the
sagging of the balcony of the
international Hotel, from when
he was speaking, and upon Mr..
Stewards solicitation he stopt
abruptly. At Buffalo the recep-
ton committee Was headed by en-
President Fillmore. 1t is reported
that 1.-THE ride from Buffalo to
Cleveland has been one of the most
wearisome since the party left
Washington. The train was
constantly filled with committee
men, and there was barely stand
ing-room to be found in the cars.
General Grant took refuge in the
haggage-car the best part of the
way, and, seated on the end of Il
trunk, with carpet bag for a
pillow. seemed to have uncondi-
tionally surrendered himself to
the misery of his condition"
The President interrupted his
speech at Cleveland by angry
replies to the hostile retorts of his
audience. He was cursed and
blackguarded by individuals who
seemed to have the protection of
the crowd. He was as emphatic
as Mr.. Roosevelt could have hccn
in addressing one who displcasn,
him. hut in his case the provoca
ton was greater than in an,
incident of recent years. AT an
other Ohio town he took up a
personal remark. and, identifying
the man who had insultcd him,
denounced him as a craven, near =
looking fellow" He frequently
felt called upon, when bringing his
speeches to close, to thank those
of his audience who had received
him courteously.
Continued repartee, at times
rough and coarse, between the
President and his audiences,
marked the homeward journey.
The carly elections in New
England had gone against the
administration, and the President
was jecred and hooted over the
results. At Pittsburg the crowd
was particularly noisy and dis
respectful. In the middle of his
speech the Presidents voice was
drowned by noises, and political
organization brought a band of
music to add to the confusion. He
gamely attempted to secure
silence waving his hat to attract
attention to his pleadings. General
Grant made an appeal for a
hearing for the President, but the
crowd was obdurate, and even his
popularity could not avail. The
party retired without further
ceremony. but the asscmhlagc of
hoodlums remained far into the
night, grooming and hooting.
At Baltimore the Governor Of
Maryland made an address Of
welcome in which it was necessary
to apologize for the absence Of the
City Council. which had refused to
cooperate with the Mayor in
receiving the President.
Mr.. Taft may be entirely right
in his vie" that the people have q
right to see and hear their presi.
dent, but it is questionable
