Standard Oil Monopoly. the Cost of Gas. Edeten to the Piaint of the Poor on the East Side. Few people realize the dis: of the unprecedented incre: price of kerosene and astral oils on the poor people of the tenements. Consider that the bread-winner can earn only $% or % week, and that there are thou- sands of families dependent upon the feeble exertions of a weak woman, be- cause of the J:lness or death of the natural bread-winner, and that in such eases the earnings are half of $5 or $ week, it is easy to see that these in- eomes will not warrant expenses for cotnforts or even ordinary conveniences. Of stoves are cheaper than cooking ranges. When oil was two cents a quart, as it wad up to six months ago, it made @ cheaper fuel for cooking purposes and heating than coal or gas. Now kerosene is three times as expensive and more, and the hardship is keenly felt by the poor. The small grocers have always dealt in oll without profit, and usually at a loss. They could not lose much in handling oll at 4 cents a gallon, but the investment multiplied Ly three or four Ancreases the loss proportionately, and 80 the small dealers complain, too, that they should be compelled to contribute to the greed of the monopoly that feeds upon man’s necessities, Mrs, Engel keeps a little grocery store at 231 Broome street. Her case is @ sample one. Said she to an “Evening World’ reporter “I lose money on every drop of kero- gene I sell. When I had to pay 6 cents ® gallon for it, in December, I sold it for 7 cents, Last week it got up to 9 ents, and I wold It at 10 cents a gallon. To-day I am seling oil that I paid 12 cents for at 13 cents; or 8 cents a quart, and my poor customers think I am rob- bing them. They are cutting off their oll. Those who use it for cooking use less; thos» who warmed th joms with it are doing without heat; those who used it in three lamps are using one lamp now, and those who used one lamp are burning candles, ‘You see, it 1s all grade¢ down from the well-off person who can afford lux- ury to the very poor people who cannot afford to spare an extra cent anywhere. It is easy to see I cannot make a very big profit on olf that I pay 12 cents for and sell for 13 cents, counting waste and lost accounrs, and, besides, I have to ay $10 license to the city for the right nell o! Mrs. Wortz, of 8 Essex street, told a similar story. She said she knew one woman with a husband, who had been sick since February, and two tiny chil- dren, who had had ho light for a week. Bhe hi kept her sick husband warm by * covering him in bed witle quilts, bits of \ ‘ - are of the EArpet and articles of clothing, as she had only an oll stove and couldn't afford the ofl because it is so dear, Henry Bauerfeur, Essex and Delancey streets, paid 13 cents to the Standard Oil Company tor astral oil on Tuesday. dropping away. "Though his customers "better off class, They have found that at the present high price of oil they can use gas for cooking at a ‘less cost. Greenberg, 145 Exsex street, still has some of Saturday 11 cent ofl on hand, and is selling it at 12 cents, al though ne knows, when he gets In a ‘new Block, he will be obliged to pay 15 cents or “The rise in kerosene is outrageous,” exclaimed Henry Bodkin, of 158 Norfolk street. “Why, six months ago I paid only 3% cents for kerosene cil—the same that T have to and the Standar ive 13 cents for now— Oll Company was pay. ing good, fat dividends last year on ity cent oll.” My trae t» like everybody's On the eaat aide, To poor forks, to whom ¢ few cents are of miportance, 1 sold 3s erofene for 4 cents a gallon last fall, It was used for cooking purposes, and in most cases for heating, too.

Now they simply n't efford to pay 14 cents a gallon, the rice 1 have tu get now. That makes t more expensive than gas, and they are ining to Use Kas where they can, ut there are no gas pipes in most of these rear houses and the o.d tenements. As for me, I'm losing money in oil ali the time, to say nothing of the $10 license to. the city, Mushkopf, Stanton and Clinton streets, pafd 12 cents, and was notified fhat he must pay 14 i-4 cents a gallon, if not more, for a fresh supply. ‘Adolpa Gross, 80 Avenue C, kerosene at 10’ cents Monday; He is gelling at a1, but says his trade ts fall- ing of elslotz, 644 Sixth street, says the oor people are suffering trom the rise in_ price of kerosene.

That's just the way the oil sup- ply is giving out. Astral oil has gone up & 1-4 cents in “six months. Now there is no sease in that.

The usually dry proceedings of the Board of Street Opening and Improve- ment were enlivened to-day by some statements made by John Haven, a well- known resident of the Washington Heights district. ‘Mr. Haven appeared to ask the Board to take some action towards having a map made of the district lying between One Hundred and Sixty-fifth street and Dykman street, Kingsbridge road and the North River, He declared that this territory, comprising hundreds of acres, had never been mapped, and in conse- quence much valuable property lay idle for want of lines on which the sale of the property could be based. ‘This state ot affairs existed, Mr, Haven said, notwithstanding the fact that In 1890 an appropriation of $4,000 had been made for the pu Comptroller Myers at the time agreed to the appro- Priation under the express stipulation that the money should not be used for any other purpose. Mr. Haven declared that the mo had, however, been diverted to ot! #, and that for many months, «i cording to the records In the Com; troller’s office, $620 was spent each qua ter for something or other the utility of which he was never able to learn, Item after iteni of $60 and $80 appears, Mr. Haven sald, to have been spent for inspectors’ fees, and the whole amount melt awa) ithout anything being accomplished tewards the making of the desired maps. Engineer Webster, of. the: Park De- partment, offered to show the Board that there was nothing irregular in the matter, and tl the money had been used to good advantage. A representa- tive of the merchants in the nelghbor- hood of Vesey street and West Broa way asked the Board to take steps towards the condemnation of buildings At G4 and 68 Vesey atreet, just at the southern entrance to the recently wid- ened College place. ‘The Mayor suld he disapproved of the measure, and the matter was referred to the Corporation Counsel for an opin- jon.
