BEMIS SAYS THE POOR WOULD
PAY DOUBLE FOR NEW GAS

Sammy insults generous offer Of
lower rates for cheaper gas was yes
terday branded a fake before the
council committee on gas, oil and
electric light by E. w. Bemis, en-
gineer employed by the city. He says
that under Sammy's system the
small users in the poorer homes
would have their gas bills doubled.
In the first place, declared Bemis,
if the people are going to take cheap
gas from insult they ought to get
reduction of more than 2 cents a
thousand feet which he offers.
Then he warned the council not to
accept the proposed establishment
of a 75-cent minimum gas bill be-
cause $4,000 consumers are using
about IS cents worth. They would
have their bills doubled.
This plan would, in other words,
make gas cheaper for the large users
for factory purposes, but almost
double its cost to common cOnsum-
ers. It has been openly, said that In

Bemis declared that the cheap
