"In tlie opinion of the .Mayor, these

standard from 530 British thermal

approach of the expiration of the con

posed emergency ordinance, be ex
tremely disadvantageous to the city.

has consideration been given to the

In an endeavor to work out an outline
of a contract embodying these or other
recommendations, for submission to the
Council nnd the Mayor. It will thus lie
seen that the emergency ordlnanro,
granting direct and not conditional to
lief to the United Gas Improvement Co..
Is not In the Interest of the city or of
the consumers of gas.
"The additional twenty-five rents per
tlKiiuuind cubic feet Is an arbitrary liv
ing of relief not based on any facts
down by the company or tho commis
sion. It not only reduced icntnl to the
citv tn ten cents per thousand cubic
feet, but Increases the burden of the
consumer by ten cents per thousand
cubic feet.
"It does not conform to the original
proposal of the United Gas Improvement
Co. nor to the provisions of the ordi
nance of Council, npproved December
1.1. 1020. which clearly anticipated the
nroteetlon of the city's interests ns well
ns those of the lessee, the United Gas
Improvement Co.
"N'or does tbe Mayor observe any
good and substantial reason In fairness
or equity why, without regard to-tho
far- seeing recommendations of tho Gas
Commission, specific financial rellof na
contemplated In the ponding ordinance
should b granted without consideration
Or negotiation, for the period of one
year.

Livingston told of the natives in Africa offering
a big price for a book he was reading. They did
not comprehend reading and thought the book, at
which he gazed so long, must be "eye medicine."
Each generation we read more, and transact
more business by means of the printed word.
Advertising as we know it today is a new busi
ness some art and some science. But the principle
is basic and very simple.
Given a good product of wide appeal, then an
attractive, honest and repeated description in rep
utable publications; the public reads, tries, and if
satisfied, continues as consumer.
The principle of advertising is as simple as read
ing was to Livingston.
Time and repetition are of the greatest importance.
