g e three Important proposals In

The first Is thnt the period nf mm

Kali continue until a new lease in
neTheaSn.l i that the company be
.tMMil from the payment of money
o the It" from gas sales yubncqiiont
S April 1, 1021. and prior to the
imcXent of the gas lease or the
formulation of n new lease.
Tho third proposal Is that the
,.7neilmnnlc Committee, on Trans
Son and Public Utilities be re
iuestd to preparo an ordinance and
contract amending the j:ns lense of
1897. and that the committee be
luthorlied at Its discretion to request
the co-operation and assistance of
the City Solicitor and the members
f the Gas Commission In that work.
The Ilodlnc ordinance now offered
llto outlines a policy ann pmu 01 uc
relopment, operation nnd financing of
.1.. ntillnrtiOnhln ens wnrkn kct that tho
lervlcc of gas shall be economical, ade
quate, suitable and uninterrupted, both
now and lu the future."
' Mr. nodlno, after personally sub
mitting the ordinance to Mr. Wegleln,
wld:
"I have been told by many persons
vtht I ought to embody the company's
ideas for relief In definite shape nnd
the ordinance which I submitted to
President Wegleln for his consideration
does that in somewhat more definite
form than the plan for temporary re
lief by foregoing our rcntni payments: to
tie city, which I outlined verbally to
the Mayor and to Mr. Wegleln within
the past week.
"It provides for an Interim agree
ment by which the U. O. I. Co. enn
continue operations during the negotia
tions for permanent amendments to the
1607 lense between the U. O. I ami
the city nnd would enrry out the serv
ice at cost idea embodied in the report
ef the bpeclal Gns Commission, which
made its report recently. The rate to
be charged for gas under this plau
would be determined by the following
factors :
"First. The cost of manufacture and
distribution of ens.
"Second. The costs of amortization,
Interest payments and betterments.
"Third. The right of the city to
terminate the lense at nny time.
"Fourth. Whatever compensation
might be agreed upon to the city as
owner of the plant.
"Fifth. Whatever compensation
might be agreed upon as a fair return
to the U. (J. I. Co.. plus nn allowance
for the costs of refinancing providing
the city did not do this as Is recom
mended in the Gas Commission's re
port." Mr. Wegleln said today he would not
Introduce the measure In Council.

Ocean City Cottagers Not' Sat
isfied With Reading's Reply
on Crowding Charge 4
RESENT TONE OF LETTER
Ocean City commuters who say they
have been compelled to stnntl during the
long ride to this city every morning are
not satisfied with an explanation mnde
by the Reading Railway, according to
Charles A. 1'lfrlch.
When protest was made to the rail
way by Mr. I'lrlck the result wns n
letter from J. E. Turk, superintendent
of the Atlantic City Railroad, at Cam
den, to the effect that upon the specific
date complained of, last Monday, there
wcro really forty-three emptv seats.
Mr. Turk's letter to Mr. Ullrich, who
represented a committee of commuters,
follows In part:
"At the time thnt. trnln ennic Into
the station at Camden I was standing
where the last car stopped. It Is un
fortunntc that wc were disappointed
by having more people thnn we had nn
tl'clpated, and verv greatly In excess of
any number wc have had before this
season.
"The conductor reports having one
combination car nnd ten steel conches,
with a seating cnpaclty of 834 passen
gers, nnd there wore only 817 passen
gers on the trnln. There must hnvc been
seventeen single scats vacant, plus the
number of passengers that you claim
were standing or packed in thn baggage
rnr Tf tlipro were twenty-six stand
ing in the baggage car, there was neces
sarily forty-tnrec empty ki-uis hi mc
tram.
Says Seats Were ound
"The baggagemastcr advises thnt he
found seats for four or five men nnd
placed them, and It is claimed that some
of the men In the combination car
were told that there were empty seats
ahead and that they laughed and said
that they might as well walk to lam
den as to go up to the head of the train.
"I want'to assure you that it it our
desire to render good service.
Mr. Ullrich commented today on the
letter t
"We don't like to have the railroad
Insinuate that we do not tell the truth,
be xsnld. "I was standing with the
-..i... nnn,nintnH In the bnecnee car,
...,i -t nvannnllv wnlkcd through the
train nnd could not find thc seats The
condition Is Intolerable. e dislike to
kick up a fuss, but something will hnvc
to be done.
Charges Discrimination
"The Reading has discriminated for
j ears in favor of Atlantic City. The
coaches used on the Ocean City run are
evidently old cars that have done over
,i ;i nn thn Atlnntic Clt.v road.
"Missing my train for Ocean C ty it

THE MAKER'S PRIDE
When a business has been handed down
from father to son for over a hundred years
it acquires a pride in its product which out
weighs any consideration of immediate finan'
cial profit. The name M Crane " has always been
a synonym for good paper, whatever the
purpose of that paper whether to insure
the endurance of a government bond or to
give distinction to a letter.
The water-mark "Crane" is evidence of
the maker's pride in each sheet that bears it.

Four Monsters, Boliovod to Bo
Sharks, Are Sighted- Off
Gloucester
BULLETS TICKLE ONE
Four sharks are believed to have vis
ited the Delaware River off Gloucester
last night.
Captain Nelson Baldwin, who was
going down the river In a motorboat, was
the first to sight them. He put back to
shore and took aboard Charles Calla
han, of Gloucester, nnd two other men
The four long, blnck shnpes were lo
cated about midstream shortly after 8
o'clock. Captain Baldwin says. Calla
han picked out the largest nnd fired
several shots from a rifle. The bullets
must have Irritated the supposed shark
becnuse It headed for the boat. Cap
tain Baldwin burned up the gasoline to
reach shore before the big fish reached
the bont. The captain won the race.
A half hour Inter, William Hughes,
n hon of Commissioner .Tnmes I...
Hughes, of the Gloucester immigrant
station, saw the monsters near n pier.
