THE PRICE OF GAS.

From time TO time the price of gas
TO consumers in Oskaloosa, becomes
IA subject for discussion before the city
council. Sometimes from statements
made the people are led TO believe
that the rates here are EXCESSIVE; or
that they are exceptionally low, ac-
cOrding to the view point of the per
son discussing the subject. For gen
Ieral information the Herald has Sc
cured prices for gas as charged by
companies in all the larger cities OF
Iowa. They are given below and
and show that Oskaloosa is neither
the highest or the lowest, but hits a
pretty close average The gross
price In the table means the highest
rate charged for gas for any purpose
and In minimum quantity. The net
rate IL the best rate made,--or in 9th.
