and obloquy as the management of the
gas works discloses, then the men of this
city are in condition to submit to any
outrage upon their rights of person and
property that unrestraiued rapacity and
lust can suggest or contemplate.
The gas works, honestly managed, at the
present rates ought to pay profit of $4O,-
900 to the city every year, and there are
plenty of enterprising capitalists, practical
business men, who would be willing to
take the gas works, furnish to the city
$4,000 worth of gas for public consump-
ton, free of charge, and in addition thereto
pay an annual rental Of $4,000; but of
course those who thrive upon the money
squandered there are not going to favor any
such measure of economy as this; rather
than do SO. they prefer that the city, in
stead Of making a profit of $4,000 per
year, should lose $4,000
Thus we see that these bold, bad men
cost the city by their abuses in one matter
alone the sum of $4,000 at least, but
how much more it is impossible to conjec-
ture.

Council gice the suffering public report
