DOLAN, M. C. WADE. Committee. aral Gas Sitastion Here With That of Two Obio Towns and Find That Logansportern Get Their Fuel Cheaper by 33 per Cent -Many Charges That are Without Foundation.

At the council meeting last. evening, the special committee appointed to report a comparison of the natural gas sitcation here with that of other cities presented the following, which was adopted: To the Common Council, City Logansport. Your committee to whom was referred an ordinance asking for meter measurement. respectfully report that we vianted the cities of Dayton end Piqus, both using natural gas by meter measurement. We find that the people of Pique bad a schedule price by mixer up to aixty days ago, similar to ours, except shade higher.

Collections were made monthly in advance. The people, as a whole, were satisded, but tbe natural gas company, known as the Calvia S. Brice eyndicate, wanted more money for the gas, and to accomplish that end commenced a movement against the people similar to the one be made Logsosport. With certain interested infuences they kept ups gen eral war OD 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 doubled-20 ceote per 1,000 cubic feet for natural gas, meter mess urement, $8 meter rent, and expense. of From 87.50 to 810 for piping and getting the meter. The price is 0015 bigh 1hat 10 one CAD 088 natural gas in Piqua except the rich and is it used by them only as a luxury. To sworn show official you the statemeot facts we of bere amount report of gaS 8 No 5 mixer will bura under a four ounce pressure, such A8 our ordinance calls for For one bour 66 cubic feet, for 24 houre 1.584 cubic, for ode month of 30 daya 47.520 cubic feet. at 20 cents at 1,000 cubic feet makes $9 50 per month for a cook stove with a No.

5 mixer, providing you it all the time. If you burn it half the time it will coat 3475 per month. Wei God in cousequence of this high rate that the poor people are entirely but off from the comforts of natural gag for fuel and are burning coal and wood in Pique. We fiod in Dayton, 0.. a similar state of nFsirs.

This gas plant is also owned hy the Brice syndicate. The peo- ole of Dayton bad cent meter Dance rate and are Dow to tala this rate. The gas company Dot I with their rate. Notwithstanding their contract and, the law the demanded and cent meter rates per 1.000 cubic feet, in spite of the fact that the ordinance called for only 10 centy. Like they had done in: Piqua, they demanded a rate of 20 cents from the people.

To accomplish this bey shut off for a while part of tbe gas they had frozen about one-half the people into taking their gas at 20 cents 1.000 cubic feet for the last montb, The orber ball, principally the poorer cisas is burning coul and wood. after having ex pended a large, amount for piping their bouses. council to aad bring city this attorney Brice at Dayton are fightiog syndicate to time. We God by comparison. that our pregPut rate is fair and equitable.

and that the schedule la vogue, here is preterable to the meter scheduie, and we recommend that there be Do change in tbe the present ordioance. To setting forth in full the situation in these cities, our desire to set before the people the necessity of maintaining a stand for 1beir rights and to show to then. that there is an object and purpose of getting better prices which sbould be resisted in whatever form it prescote itself. This "special gas committee" seems to have regarded that its mission was to determine the price of gas two Obio towns, Dayton and Piqua, and its report is entirely devoted to the results of the junketing expedition of Messrs. Dolan and Boyer to those two places.

It will strike most people that the citizens of Logansport have but little interest in knowing wbetaer the Ohio towns are controlled by this "gyadicate" or (bat, or whether tbey have "coerced" the council to raise rates, but tbere is a significant fact in the report which is very ligbtly referred to by the committee, and that is that Logansport is being supplied witb gas at 33 per cent. lower rate than either of the towns referred to. 'Ibe report shows that the meter rate at those towns is. or was 10 cents per thousand feet, while the rate at tbig place is but 74 cents. This is one third less, and the committee calls this a "shade." The report in this respect.

what the Pharos bas alwars maintained, that the price of gas at Logansport, is lower than with but few exceptions. The report is misleadiog in another respect. It asserts that the gas company is endeavoriog to procure a raise in rates. The gas company bus not petitioned the council for any raise, nor has it compiniaed that it I WAS not getting enough. The report is wholly silent upon wbat was supposed to be the scope of the committees investigation, namely, to discuss whether the shortage of gas duriog the recent culd snap was due to.

datural causes, or whether the gas compang was squeezing its patrous. The silence of the report in this important feature justides what the Pbaros baa repestedly sard. that the company bas exerted every effort. to. maintain a full- ply, and that the scarcity of gas arose by the loss of pressure in the gas fields and the freezing of gas mains and service piper in the city.

The manner of selecting a bishop in the Catholic eburch may be of intereat to some, The following is the method of procedure: Witbin four weeks after the death of 8 bishop the irremovable rectors of the diocese, convene, select three DAmes and transmit them to the archbishop. In this case it will be Arch- The archbishop then calla all the bishops of the province to conseder the matter. If the Dames selected by lLe priests are acceptadle, the bishops give tbeir sanction and the names are sent 10 Rome. But the bishops are not bound to accept the list presented, and can proceed to the selection of three candidates suitable to themselves.

In that case the Lisbops must send the rejected list along with their own, giving their reason or reasons for so doing. Rome select from either list, or reject both, it judged expedient. DEATH or Mrs. John ManeN-Funeral of MeN. Powell.
