THE NEW GAS CONTRACTS.

The lato Common Council on the Goth OF
December passed a resolution giving the right
to tho Manhattan, Metropolitan and Harlem
Ges Companies TO terminate their existing con-
tracts with The city Tor Tie lighting OF The street
lamps, ani to mako rev contracts With the
Street Commissioner. Bids for the new con-
trnc,s wero 70 have been opened yesterday, but
tho Controller, whoee presence at tie opening
- legally essential 10 tie validity OF that eere-
monv, Was ab7cnt, and TIE business was post
poned. Why he was absent appears from a
Communications sent 80 the Common Council, in
which the inquities covered mp in the original
resolution aro unsparugIy exposed.
Before the passage Of the resolution of Dec.
80 The city had a contract with the Manhattan
Company for DE lighting Of The public lamps,
At O. cost Of about halfa cent an hour, that con-
lraot to continue til May J, lods. The effect
Of the resolution is TO annu that contract, with

are 10 TIC city; 20 rel,ae the Company from It's
Obligation to furnish the ga3 at fixed price,
aud p.pctically 10 subject he city 10 unlimited
exlortion. Tho Controller justly dcncunccs
