CAS- PROPERTY
OFFERED CITY
Gas Co. Says They Are Will
ing to Stand Part of
SUGGEST EASY PAYMENTS
Will Either Sell or Increase
Plant, Letter to Aldermen
Says

The aldermen last night again
had brought to their attention the
possibility of their purchasing th1
property south of Lewis street ex-
tending to the Raritan river now
owned by the Perth Anlboy Gas
Light Company. The city fathers
were in receipt of a letter from Viii
liam b. Pratt, representing the gas
company. offering to sell the prop
erty to the city. The communication
stated that the gas company would
be willing to stand for part OF the
loss which would result from selling
the plant and did not require The
payment of the entire amount at
the time the purchase was made.
A suitable initial payment price
could be made. the letter suggested,
and the city could take two or three
years in which to pay for the re :
mainder.
The letter pointed out that the
property owned by the gas company
is desirable waterfront property and
would be a good buy for the city. it
being in keeping with its policy to
own and develop as much waterfront
territory as possible. The number
of consumers being supplied by the
local gas company has become so
great, the letter SalQ, tnat the plant
must be enlarged but the company
has decided not to make the i'm
provements and extensions at the
present location. 1t is desirable of
getting out of this strictly residential
section and therefore offers to sell
to the city the property and the
buildings and machinery now on it.
When the offer was made to the
city by the gas company to sell this
property last summer the aldermen
were favorable to buying the land
but did not desire to spend the large
additional amount necessary to pay
for the tanks and machinery as they
would be of no use to the city and
would have to be junked. The mat
ter was dropped when it was found
the gas company would not reduce
its price or make use of some of the
tanks now in operation.
The committee of the whole will
consider the latest offer made in
last nights communication.
Alderman-at-L Calvin an
nounced that the committee of the
whole expected to have n report at
the meeting Wednesday night as to
the progress made in its efforts to
secure q reduction in gas rates here
