Com mission Letting Golden Opportunities Slip By. GAS BILLS CAN BE CUT. There Are Many Cash Sav ing Devices, but Consum ers Are Denied Them. By Sophie Irene Loeb. 8IXTH ARTICLE. Ths significant Items la Tbe Eve ning World's Investigation as to tho highest price, charged for ens In New York, of any city, aro summarized as follows : There aro various methods of mak ing cheap gas other than the method employed In New York, but the corporations havo lagged behind and have steadily Increased the prlco and put forth every effort to main tain It. The Public Service Commission's everlasting Investigations without ac tion to reduce the enormous prlco of CM Is a matter of vital Importance, to the people. While the gas corporations are will ing. It Is said, to change the present costly 22 candle-power method for a cheaper and more progressive British thermal process of making gas, they do not want to give the benefit of n lower prlco to the public commensur ate with tho actual saving In making tho change. Gas oil, which Is a vital requisite tor the making of gas, figures very largely in tho cost, and, according to experts, this gas oil Is sold to the gas corporations at artificial prices prices that become arbitrary because they are largely controlled by tho Standard Oil and members of the Standard Oil Company also have Interests In the gas corporations. Nino hundred million gallons of this oil Is sold In this country every year, of which New York State, uses ovor 200,000,000 gallons. This gas oil during tho war was sold as high an 12 and 15 cents, and Is now rated at 5 and 0 cents. According to those who have studied the question, this gas oil. In accord ance with market conditions, should bo sold for less than 3 cents per gal lon. Hut tho oil Interests control the situation to such an extent that they can set up an arbitrary llgure and in tho end the consumers must pay. These 900,000,000 gallons of gas oil would be practically waste If not used In tho making of gas as no mechanism has been devised success fully to utilize, this particular residual of oil. ' NEW YORK IGNORES MODERN DEVICES. There are ways and means which would eliminate considerably tho wosto of this gas oil and otherwiso reduce tho costs. As has been stated in these columns, The Evening World does not presume to suggest any pro cess to be employed in New York, nor does it go into the merits of the different processes as against each other. It only points to the fact that thero are ways of mak ing gas ways that are utilized in other States for the lowering of prices, while this city has done nothing to reduce the costs. Among these methods already set forth are the coko-oven gas and the "Dayton process." Tho former Is made from coke and produces enormous by-products which greatly reduce tho cost of gus 'n some sections as low as 10 cents per thousand feet. The "Dayton process," as has been explained, requires but four gallons of gas oil and no other solid fuel, and can be made as a coat of about 35 cents per thousand cubic feet. And now there Is the Van Steem burgh system, wHIch according to Dr. David T. Day, the well known Inter national petroleum expert, Is "the only radical Improvement made in the gas manufacture since the Inven tion of the water gas system" (the method used In New York). Dr. Day was for over twenty years chief of the division devoted to min eral oils In the United States Geo logical Survey In the Department of Agriculture. Other experts have also Indorsed this system. This process, at tho present prlco of nil, can turn out gns at a cost of 30 aents per thousand feet. it is claimed that with SS gallons of gas oil, 500 pounds of steam coal and 50 Kllowats of electricity, GO, 000 feet of gas could he manufactured. And tills gaH would bo a 22-candIe ppwer of 000 British Thermal Units, approximately tho somo as is now sorved In the City of Now York. Whether this or that process Is the ono to Io utilized In New York Is ho side the question. Tho big fact la that no moves have been mado by tho gas corporations In the city, nor by tho Public Service Commission, where by Improved mechanism and progres sive economies would lessen the cost of gas and reduce tho prlco to tho con sumer, ns well as eliminate the nntl filiated methods operated In New York THE GREAT FUTURE POSSIBIL. ITIES OF GAS. In this connection some significant statements are made bjr F. C. Weber, EAP GAS I '.'SEATS FOR ALL" IS RECEIVER'S PLAN ON SECOND AVENUE Will Have Them, Cham bers Promises, ns Soon as Cars Can Be Built. Charles E. Chambers, re ceiver for the Second Avenue llallroad Company, told the Transit Commission yesterday he had adopted u policy of "A seat for every passenger." He promised to make It ef fective as soon as he had re ceived 100 convertible one-man cars. He has forty now; ths others are being built. Mr. Chambers said so little English was known In the dls trlcts he bcrved that he had to use colors and numerals to des ignate the destination of the cars. Chairman of tho Committee of Co operation with Education Institutions of tho American Gas Association: "When gas was first used, more than 100 years ago. It had only one use, that of light. In an open flame burner. To-day It has over 1,000 listed uses among which may bo mentioned kitchen ranges and water heaters, gas Irons, laundry Ironing machines, space heaters, hatching machines, crema tories, hotel ranges and broilers, large automatic baking ovens, candy fur naces, metal melting pots, glass and china kilns, hot presses. Jewelry man ufacture, tire heaters, brazinc tables. cork floor manufacture. Inert eas man- unracturo for process work, annealing ovens, stereotype machines, bench furnaces, mufflo furnaces, gas steel treatment furnaces, etc. "Tho list Is endless; new uses are being found each day. Any work, from very low to extremely high heats and tho use of automatic heat treatment machinery, can be per formed with gas. "The olden day method of charging for gas Is all wrong. The equitable way Is to charge on the basis of the cost of the money Invested to suddIv tho customer, the Individual service tendered the customer, and the com modity used by the customer. "When such a system of charelnc becomes universal, the Industrial use of gas will Increase Its already rapid pace ana grow like a whirlwind. "The gas business Is only In Its In fancy. By reason of the Inherent ability to convert heat efficiently from the solid state to the gaseot-s and the many gas heat application advantages in the homo and Industry, which are becoming better known dally, the gas Industry Is bound to grow bigger than ever and there Is a good field for us to grow with it. "The Job of a gas engineer calls for a real honest-to-goodness man. Prob ably more so than does the position or any otner industry. "The personal element of the men at the gas plant enter? to a greater degree in the manufac ture of gas than it does in any other utility or many manufac turing processes. "Gat-making, cleaning and puri fying machines, however, do not have any efficiency built into them; their results aro largely dependent upon the gas manage ment and operators. WHEN WORLD MAY HAVE TO DEPEND ON COKE FOR GAS. "The world is dependent upon the gas works for other thingr be sides its gat. As the supply of anthracito fuel gives out, it will have to turn to coke for a clean, tmokelett fuel. "Coko Is not a makeshift for nn- throclte coal because coal has more hint value than the present do llvcred anthracite. Until the recent development In which .ammonia Is made synthetically by the combina tion of nitrogen and hydrogen, the gas works formed the only commer cial source of that important product, ammonia. -me gas work's , to-day is the Bourcc of supply of xylol, benzol. toluol, napthalene, phenol and an thracene. These names may not mean much to you, but tho products are the starting points of an endless list of chemical compounds used for medicines, dyes, photography, sol vents, wood preservatives, disinfec tants, explosives, paints, flavoilng extracts, penumes, paving, iooi tanning, buildings, etc. "These crudes or starting points are vnnousiy treated nnd changed chemlcnlly by manufacturers Into very useful compounds for the world. The crudes may be extracted fiom the gas or from tho coal tar. It does not pay tho gas man to extract them, mo they are vually obtained by the coal tar works, who tfent and dispose of the conl tar purchased from tne gas plant. The above gives briefly what enn bo done In light of later knowledge. utilizing all the by-products and making gas much cheaper, but In which the New York City gas cor- porations nave ingged. actoii ooi,ii:h.v finals to-hiv.

Those Milk Gangs in the Night More Noisy Than Biggest Fight When the Cans Begin to Rattle, It's Worse Than Any Battle, Complains Poet. Healtj Commissioner Royal S. Copeland has received a com plaint In verse, bearing the signature of Fincis J. Lowe, No. 113 West 101st Street, objecting to tho noise made by employees of milk concerns In handling milk cans. The poem la callod "Borden's Gang At Night," and Is dedicated to tho Commissioner of Health by tbe author. Dr. Copeland said he was sure the officials of tho milk com panies wero opposed to the unnecessary nolseB around their stations, but he thought they were not always able to control their employees. The poem follows: Wo'vo heard about the battle of the Boyne nnd Waterloo,' We've heard about Thermopylae ana Armageddon, too. The battle of the Mania must have been an awful sight. But there's not a battle in it with this Borden's gang at night They corro alone our city streets before the break of day With carts and cans and Sheffield's men and put us In dismay. They pick tlios heavy milk canB up nnd roughly throw them down. And the noise, m Lord, the noise, can be heard all over town.

I've t'en heard tl ,.t phonograph squeal as It turns around, But for noise, bins off now, boys, to this Borden's gang In town.
