"Respectfully submitted for the consideration of those citizens whose interest in the future prosperity of their city, and the comfort and happiness of their fellows, is not clouded by affiliations with the 'eminent respectability' of the United Gas Improvement Company."

"The latest public foe, under whose guise it is proposed, during the next thirty years, to tax every manufacturer; every merchant; every clerk; every artisan; every laborer and every householder in Philadelphia, by charging double or treble price for gas, to enable a wealthy syndicate to reap fabulous profits through their autocratic control of the gas monopoly of Philadelphia."
