GENTLEMEN: In compliance with the Ordi

nicate with the Common Council, submit to your
Honorable body my Annual Report on Lamps and
Gas
There has been erected aud lie during the last
year seven hundred gas lamps, which, with those
before erected make the number amount to 500.
During the same year we have set $50 OIL posts,
and there now 6,732 oil lamps making the
whole number of public lamps 1902, which will
be largely increased during the present year l
would recommend the passage OF resolutions at an
early day to light up all the streets with oil that
have already been applied for, that are above the
gas district, in order to enable the assessors to
tax the property this year that will be benefited
by this improvement The Manhattan Gas Com
pany have not only expended the $4,000 which
their contract requires Of them in laying mains,
continuing nOrtherly across the City from Grand
st. their place Of beginning, bat they have laid
nearly as much more In the upper wards, and l
