Keeping the Gus Issue Clear

THERE is real reason for regret that the
i Gas Department has seen 1t to becioud
the issue whether or not owners of property
any longer shall be held responsible for the
gas bills Of their tenants.
Spokesman for the Gas Department talk
as though the fact that It may be put to some
additional trouble by the repeal of the OBJ
noxious ordinance were ample reason for per.
hitting the ordinance to stand. That argu-
ment Is ridiculous. The wholesaler would
be delighted, doubtless If he could compel
the owner of the property In which the re-
taller does business to pay the retailers
bills. but he cannot.
The Gas Departments campaign OF oppo-
sition has very much the aspect of an effort
to stir up popular antagonism 10 belated
measure Of Justice and right Perhaps the
department will find II necessary to put In
prepayment meters to exact deposits In
advance but apparently. that necessity is
not experienced by the Virginia Railway and
Power Company. which also sells light to
Richmond people. Municipal ownership IL
II is to Justify itself. should be. at least, as
efficient as private ownership
The Apfain fact is that the ordinance as It
stands is q misuse OF the citys power It
forces a class Of citizens to- pay what Is In
effect an extra tax II should be repea led
for the municipal credit and the Gas Depart
ments sef-rcspect well as for the relief
