The proceedings of this committee were read. a is
Mr. KITCHEN moved that they be confirmed, so the
proof of the value of the office, stated that, through the
lebours of the inspector, the illuminating power of
clocks had been greatly increased, while the expense
been diminished. He might also mention, he said, the
while the Etting up, including governors, of eleven of _le,
large public lamps by the Gas Company cost, on the Wll
£291, or £26 10s per lamp, the committee fitted up ,„&
lamps, including governors, under the inspector's directl_tioi
at a cost of £ll 4a 9.1 each lamp. They were re-arraogjX
St, John's Market, and he had no doubt that they Woo.
succeed in effecting a considerable saving there. In co
elusion, Mr Kitchen complained that, while at the .60
at Cornwallis-street they wore able to turn out 70 oleice.
a-day, the GA Company were sending out meters not o
tified or stamped by the committee, as arranged. A sent
Mr Alderman BENNETT asked the company ha‘•
out uncertified meters since the committee were elet

the comnaitteee could not meet the wants of the c0n3P270..
and that that was the cause of sending out the meters
stamped.

such meters since the committtee rare in a position to ,1

Mr. JOHN STEWART referred to the great ai--,
between the cost of fitting up the public lamps moo!! the
company and under the committee, and hoped th.rir
chairman was under some mistake in the matter. Ile
no interest in the gas company, but he believed thsloge
always conducted their business with credit and 11011013
and he would be, therefore, sorry that the statement sh,,a
go forth to the public, that, while the company eV it •
26 £ 10g. for the fitting up of one lamp, others imfot
for £ll 45., unless the strictest inquiry had be°12.514 tO
made in the matter. (Hear, hear.) He wou'd wi;eet
know if any c )mmunication had taken place on the oil
between the committee and the company ? the
Mr. J. R. JEFIERY said that he wae—preeell„
