At q meeting, yesterday, of the Board OF
Apportionment and Audit tho examiners to tho Board,

sented report upon the claims OF tho several gas com
panles for lighting tho city during 1871.
Tho price charged per lamp annually according 10 tho
Metropolitan. and Harlem. SIS. The lamps authorized
by the Bureau OF Lamps and Gas three cubic
feet of gas an hour and the burning time OF zach lamp
IA 3s33 hours and 20 minutes year, making the guam
rty n 800 feet q year. The NewY0rk and Manhattan
Companies sold for private consumption In 1871 NJ
s. per 600 cubic feet and tho Metropolitan and Harlem
CompaDles ut So TO- The Examiners say there can ne
no good why the city shond pay for the gas
supplied TO MS lamps than do citizens; the contrary
taking into consideration the advantages which these
companies obtain from the city In the free use OF is
streets and for the conduct OF their business
would seem eminently proper That some deduction W
The city affords them. At the price at which prynte
consumers are supplied quoted above, the rate per
lamp would be as follows: New-YOrk aud Manhattan
S34 6O Harlem and Metropolitan. $40 a. 10 which Should
bc added the cost OF lighting, extingushng, anu clean
ing-S3 each annually.
The expense which the companies incur In collecting

monthly bills and tho collection OF the money quo on
these bills estimated by competent parties TO equai az
least per cent Of the amount or tho bill therefore, tno
cost TO the companies OF supplied to private con
exceeds that supplied ~ the city per cent 10
equalize the price OF the city should 10 allowed
deduction Of this per cent. Applying the principle ta
the city should pay only for the actual quantity OF gus
consumed and at the value at which IS supplied 10
