A Special Committee of the Council KejKirt Comparison of the nral Situation Here With.

TUat of Two Ohio To-wan mnd FJiid That Get Their Fuel Cheaper by 33 per Cent Many Charccx That are Without Foundation. the council meeting last evening, the special committee appointed to report a comparison of the natural gas situation here with that of other cities presented the following, -which was adopted: To the Common Council, City of Loganeport. Your committee to whom was referred an ordinance askine for meter measurement, respectfully report fi.at we have visited the cities of Dayton End Piqua, 0., both using natural gas by meter measurement. We find that the people of Piqua had a schedule price by mixer numbers up to sixty days ago, similar to ours, except a shade higher. Collections were made monthly in advance.

The people, as a whole, were satisfied, but the natural gas known as the Calvin S- Brice syndicate, wanted more money for the gas, and to accomplish that end commenced a movement agaipst'the people similar to the one.be- ing made in Loganaport. With certain interested influences they kept up a Ren eral war on the people, distorting the truth in every available manner, until the people became divided. The result was that they coerced the council into passing an ordinance whereby they got the rate cents per 1,000 cubic feet for natural gas, meter measurement. $8 meter rent, and an expense of from 87.50 to 310 for piping and settinE the meter. The price is now so high that no one can use natural gas in Piqua except the rich and is it used by ttiem only as a luxury To show you the facts we here report a BWOrn official statement of the amount CUB a No 5 mixer will burn under a four ounce pressure, such as our ordinance calls for For one hour 6C cubic 24 hours 1,584 cubic, for one month of 30 days 47,520 cubic feet.

This at 20 cents at 1,000 cubic feet makes $0 50 per month for a cook stove with a No. 5 mixer, providing you burn it nil the lime. If yoa burn it half the time it will coat $4 75 per month. We find in consequence of this high rate that the poor people are entirely shut off from comforts of natural gas for fuel and are burning coal and wood in Pique. We also find in Dayton, 0., a similar state of affairs.

This gas plant is also owned by the Brice syndicate. The peo ole of Dayton had a 10 cent meter ordi nance rate and are now fighting to main tain this rate. The gas company wa not eatisSe 1 with their rate. Nctwitb standing their contract and the law ihev demanded and charged SO cent meter rates per 1.000 cubic feet, in spite of the ffi. that trie ordinance called for only 10 cents.

LiKe they had done in. Piqua, they demanded a rate of 20 cents froth the ppople. To accomplish this they shut off for a while part of the gas.until they bud frozen about one-Mf the people 'into taking their at 20 cents per 1.000 cubic eet for the last month. The other half, principally the poorer class ie burning coul and wood, after having ex pended a larce amount for piping their houses. The council and city attorney at Dayton are fighting to bring this Brice syndicate to time.

We find by that our present rate is fair and equitable, and that the schedule in vogue here is preferable to the meter schedule, and we recommend that there be no change in the the present ordinance. In setting forth in full the situation in these cities, it is our desire to set before the people the necessity of maintaining a stand fur I heir rights and to show to then, that there is an object, and purpose of getting better prices which should be resisted in whatever form it presents B.

DOLAN, M. C. WADE, Committee. This "special gas committee" seems to have regarded that its mission was to determine the price of gas in two Ohio and Piqua.and its report is jntirely devoted to the results of thejunk- expedition of Messrs.Dolan and Boy- to those two places. It will strike most people that the citizens of Logansport lave but little interest in knowing whetner the Ohio towns are controlled iy this "syndicate" or that, or whether have "coerced" the council to raise but there is a significant fact in the report which is very lightly referred to by the committee, and that is that Lo- ansport is being supplied with gas at 33 per cent, lower than either of the referred to.

The report shows hat the meter rate at those towns is, or was 10 cents per thousand feet, while the at this place is but 7-j cents. This a one third less, and the committee calls a "shade." The report in this justifies what the Pharos has always maintained, that the price of gas Lngansport, is lower than elsewhere, ith but few exceptions. The report is islsafiioc in another respect. Itasserts hat the gas nompsny is endeavoring to irocure a raise in rates. Ths gas bas not petitioned the coancii for my raise, nor has it cotnplniaed that it was not getting enough.

Tee report is wholly silent upon what" was supposed to be the scope of the committees investigaiion, namely, discuss whether the shortage of gas luriog the recent cold snap was due to latural causes, or whether the gas coat' any was squeezing its patrols. The ilence of the report in this important eature justifies what the Pharos has re- jestedly said, that the company has ex- rted every effort to maintain a full sap- and that the scarcity of ffas arose by he loss of pressure in the gas fields and he freezing of gas miins and service lipes in the city. the bride, and Mr. Karl Swigart.

Competition Is the IJfe of Trade, and If the People Are to oe Benentted, The Jfharos Will be Found in the Posh. It Jooks as though the Citizens' Natural Uas and Fuel company will be a success.

It is proposed to start, the new enterprise with a capital stock of half 8 million dollars, and the names found in the list of stockholders is a sufficient guarantee that it will have plenty of inancial hacking, end carry out any and all agreements made with the city government or Us patrons. The company was organized yesterday, and its officers are: H. Vice President and E. Gibson. R.

Shroyer. M. A. Jordan. H.

Hardy, J. E. Gibson, A. E. Sbroyer, M.

A. Jordan G. W. Haieh. The capitol stock, 8500,000, is to be subscribed by citizens.snd all patrons will be furnished gas at present ordinance rates.

It has been given out that the company has alrfady secured enough territory to meet the demands for gas for ten years to come. In order to obtain an increase over the present supply a 10-inch main will be laid. volume of a 10-inch main is to 53J in an 8-inch as wai liid by the present gas company. The new company will ask the council to appoint an inspector, and consumers who do not receive gas as per contract need not pay for it, It is the purpose to canvas the city for stock subscriptions and consumers contracts, and if the proper encouragement is given, a sufficient sum is guaranteed to make up the deficit. Final action on the franchise and ordinance of the new company will be taken at a special meeting of the council to be held tomorrow evening.

If the people are to be benefitted, the Pharos has nothing but good wishes for the success of the new enterprise. There is certainly room for another company here, and if sufficient gas territory has been secured? as averted, we hope the promoters of the new company will receive encouragement sufficient to make the enterprise asiicci'ss.

Matter of Mucli Speculation In Catholic Chnrch Tlie Manner In Which Wo Be Pope Aproluts.

Just now there is much speculation in local Catholic church circles as to who will be selected as bishop ot the Fort Wayne diocese to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Bishop Dwenger. The manner of selecting a bishop in the Catholic r.hurch may be af interest to some. Tbe following is the method of procedure: Within four weeks after the death of bishop the irremovable rectors of the diocese, convene, select three namei and transmit them to the archbishop. In this case it will be Arch-Elder. The archbishop then calls all the bishops of the province to conseder the matter.

If the names selected by tie priests are accept- adle, the bishops give their and the names are sent to Rome. But the bishops are not bound to accept the list as presented, and can proceed to the selection of three candidates suitable to themselves. In that case the bishops must send the rejected list along with their own, giving their reason or reasons for so doing. Rome can select from either list, Or reject both, if judged expedient.
