REpoRr OF TIE COMMITTEE on GAs.-one of

REPORT OF TIE COMMITTEE or GAs.-One Of
the ablest most dignifed, and thoroughly
searching documents we ever perused, is the re-
port of this Committe, through their chairman
Mr.. James w. Paxton. In comprehcnsiveness'
tone and style, it reminds US of some of the
the best Parliamentary documents in print
Indeed we doubt whether the Committee OF the
British House of Commons, who were appoint
ed to investigate the management and the
workings of the East India Company, went to
work more thoroughly, or accomplished their
business in u more mastery way, than has this
Committee. The city owes them adebt of graft
tmde.
The report is frnught with material enough
for the whole city to reflect upon, one day at
least.
In the first place it suggests that this city has
been paying for her public lights, Mt rate al
together foreign from the original intention OF
the charter In the next place it suggests that
from some bunglng mismanagement, or inei-
iiciency in drawing upanew scheme, it was lett
open to any construction, and while it is no
contract it is IqUGsi one. This, the supple
mentry documents show, and the Gas Company
doubtless very truly supposed that they were
acting through regularly signed, sealed and
ratified agreement.
But at the same time, this docs not indemnify
the people of this city, for the amount of mon
ey which they have paid over and above what
they ought to have paid, taking the Pittsburgh
standard, and the council have done wisely to
give notice of their determination not TO pay
such price any longer.
