THE GAS PROBLEM.

In the light of the experience of the town for the past
three years regard the gas supply it behooves us to
take the matter up and settle it. There is an made
quate gas supply This is beyond dispute Every little
cold wave demonstrates that Whether this is because the
line is not in good condition lack of gas at the wells is
immateral. We don't get the gas. The company claims
that has an abundant supply of gas and that the town
has torn its lines up in street construction But neither
the gas company the town is doing anything about it.
- The point the Courier is trying to make is that the
pany and that to hold its franchise it must supply the gas
necessary to the consumption of the people, If the town
has damaged the lines it ought to be compelled to repair
them, and then the gas company should be compelled to
furnish gas surrender its franchise This condition has
prevailed for three years and to be no nearer so
on than at the beginning The Courier is informed that
get gas from another if the company now
nsurenders its franchise The settlement of the matter
ought not be put off till winter again will face an
other winter without gas

CHAPTER X.
A Caller.

- SahSts
AS the first of the month was ap-
preaching, Wassaquam had brought
his household bills and budget to Alan
that morning directly after breakfast.
To furnish Alan with whatever sums
he needed, Sheriff. had made consld
cradle deposit In Alans name In the
bank where he carried his own ac-
count; and Alan had accompanied Sher-
rill to the bank to be introduced and
had signed the necessary cards In or
der to check against the deposit.
Alan had required barely half Of the
hundred dollars which Benjamin Cor.
vet had sent to Blue Rapids, for his
expenses In Chicago; and he had
brought with him from "home" a hun.
dred dollars Of his own.
The amount which WassaQuam now
desired to pay the bills was much
more than Alan had on hand: but that
amount was also much less than the
eleven hundred dollars which the serv.
ant listed as cash on hand. This, Was
saQuam Stated, was In currency and
kept by him. Benjamin always had
had him keep that much In the house;
Wassaqunm would not touch that sum
now for the payment Of current ex
penses. .-..
On the first OF the month, therefore,
Alan drew upon his new bank account
