Important Legislation.

The bill presented in the Assembly b.
Hon L. Caswea, membe from the Sd As
sembly District of this County, looking to
an amendment of theilaw ofls62 regulating
railroads, will test the feeling of the house
on an important question. II makes the
license fee six per cont. on the gross ear n
ings of all railroads Of the state. This
is by some deemed too high a rate, but &C.
cording to the figures of ex-Secretary
Breese it is only little above halt the rate
OF taxation paid by other property Of the
state. He estimates that tax 1895 Per
cent. on gross earnings of railroads would
only make the rate equal to the 223 pc r
cent. found levied upon the total assessed
valuation of other property in the state.

Gas.

The question whether the streets will be
ligh ed with gas for the current year after
April LIST, is at least debatable one. The
city is now in arrears to the Gas Company
over 81, 100 for lighting tae streets, aud
there at present seems little prospect that
this sum will soon be liqui&ated by the city
For three years the gas Company have faith
fully discharged their obligations by keep
ing the streets properly lighted and yet
we understand, nothing has been paid the
company by the city during this time. As
= business transaction this is not right
aud the pursuance of:ssch course is simply
disgraceful The company must have their
honest dues, or the CITY have the gas shat
of from its lamps Are our citizens gener-
ally prepared for the latter alternative =?
Are our streets to be shrouded in dark ness
a. fittasg memorial to our carelessness and
Indifference in this matter which TO CUR
mind affects the general interest and welfare
of the city. We trust something may yet
be done TO spare us the Inconvenience of
darkeneS streets and the disgrace OF not
paying ahae just debt We owe the gasoom-
pany.
