ratons, a surplus of. ............-..-...$1 2 19s
So soon as the means of supplyinga large
amount of gas is supplied by the erection of an
additional holder the Committee think that it
would he both just and expedient to reduce the
price of it and to continue, from year TO year, a
gradual reduction until it be placed at the same
price they now recommend for the public gas
used. They think by such reduction tho
amount consumed would be SO greatly increased
as to pay as large profit at the reduced price as
it now yields at the present rate. They recon-
mend that the charge for metre rents be abol-
shed; the sum realized by it is small, and is the
fruitful source of complaints. There have been
expended in the construction of the works up TO
the 29th ultimo, S210,268 76 less by service
pipes, metres &c. on hand for future USE amoun-
ting to sS4553 20, leaving the nett cost of tho
work S205,735 Sc, as will more fully appear by
reference to the Clerks statement To this
amount, however there should be added the
amount still due Mr.. Vancleve for services rem
dered after his appointment as Engineer had ex-
rired. which your Committee think the coun-
Gil should fix at $500. For all detailstbe Coun-
Gil is referred TO the renort ofthe Superintendent
and statement of the Clerk.
Y our Committee cannot close their report
without congratulating the Council and theirf fell
low-citlzens on the prosperous condition of the
works-they never having failed for a moment
during the year to supply any required amount
of gas, and that of a very superior quaity--re-
f1ecting great credit on the Engineer who built
them, and the Superintendent and other officers
who have had their management, they having
one and all performed their duties to the un-
qualified satisfaction of the Committee. They
advise the Abortion of the following resolutions:
Resolved That the Committee on Light be
authorised to erect an additional gas holder, 30
feet in diameter and 45 feet high, and an ad-
ditional pair of purifiers, and that the Chamber
lain be authorized to issue scrip to an amount
not exceeding $4,000 for the payment thereof.
Resolved, That the Chamberlain pay A. H.
Vanceve $70Oin full for services rendered by him
in experimenting the Gas Works subsequent to
the time that he cease to draw pay as Engi-
neer.
Resolved That it be recommended to the
Council to abolish the charge for metre ren-s.
Resolved, That it be recommended to the
Council to fix the price of gas consumed in pub
lie lamps ut 81 SO per thousand cubic feet, and
that it take effect from the commencement of
its ronsumnrion.
All Of which is respectfully submitted.
LEWIS w. CHAMBERLAYNE.
Chairman Committee on Light.
