After all the TRADE of abuse against
the Gas Company in which the Cour-
ser and it's partisans have freely in-
dulged, it seems that the present
Council can't do better than to en-
large the Company's operations by
giving it the contract for furnish
ing aud erecting the street lamp
posts. By the following report of Mr..
Chandler. the President of the Com
pany. we learn thai this terrible mon
opoly is actually furnishing gas posts
at $50 per post less money than had
been previously paid by the city. Will
the Courier give the monopoly this
much credit:
