But the Mayor and City Council in such ain event

laid pursuant to this ordinance any supplement
thereto; provided, however, that you, the said Gas
Company, pay back the whole amount of money to
the city consumers of gas added to such

mnation by gas lights. Our dim oil lights barely

clearly the indispensable necessity of change in
our lighting system.
As have said before, in the former communica-
ton, | am simply consumer of gas but do
most earnestly desire that city should stand
erect in all of her municipal arrangements. Why
should she be behind the smaller cities of our
country in this respect? Some of our Northwest

| is so plain that che who runs may read.
If "Gas Consumer" desires to understand the
bill, las he shows in every one of his remarks he
does not and as l conceive that he wishes to do
so, shall be happy to see him, with view OF
mutual understanding, and for this purpose you
can, Messrs. Editors give him my name. j. b. ).
