Boston Gas Syndicate aims to control major gas firms
The Bay State and Consumers’ Gas companies face a coordinated move by a syndicate that has bought Roxbury and South Boston stocks and plans to form a Bay State New York entity. Critics warn of high financing costs and public rate pressures, while supporters say consolidation could lower prices and improve gas quality.

Boston Gas Syndicate Aims to Consolidate Thirteen Firms
The Boston gas firms plan a single giant trust worth about 14 million dollars with a New York parent to avoid Massachusetts capitalization limits. Gas priced at 140 to 250 dollars per 1000 cubic feet has long flowed to Boston, with twelve firms and a ghost of one supplying the market.

Bay State Gas Company or a Boston monopoly rises in New York
The Bay State Gas Company of Boston seeks a city wide franchise to lay mains and compete with thirteen existing firms. It forms the Bay State Gas Company of New York to mobilize capital, consolidate distantly held gas interests, and promise cheaper water gas amid a broad trust network headed by J Edward Addicks. The Consumers' Gas Company fights the process while litigation lingers.
