EDITOR BuLLETIs An article ap-
peared in yesterdays BULLETIN which
does the Cairo City Gas company great
Injustice.
A great deal has been said Of late 10 re-
gard to lighting the street lamps; but. up
TO the present, 1 have remsined silent.
The article in yesterdays BULLETIN, how
ever, contains several miststementsi and
40 superi utsndent Of tho company feel
bound 10 contradict some Of them. The
article stated that the gas company
dumped to the conclusion that they must
have more Of the non-iptersst barring
scrip than Of the interest. bearing scrip as
heretofore. Now this is . mistake. Tho
Cairo City Gas company do not ask any
more than received last year in fact, our
new proposition 10 considerable lower than
the old contract, as any candid citizen
will confess whom he knows the facts.
| Under the old contract, tho gas com
psny received $3.50 per post psr month
for the street lamps in intsrest-bsaring
scrip. Tho scrip received for the year
amounts to some $500. The interest on
the same amounts to $3.50 90 per annum'
That makes the receipts under the old
contract equal 10 about $4,000, the gas
oupsny making ordinary repairs on the
posts and lanterns.
The gas company now offers TO light
the city for the cum of $3.50 per post per
month, in non.intsrest bearing scrip,
which will amount W about $500 per
annum, against $4,000 Last year. Under
the new proposition, however, the city IL
make all repairs to lamps, which will cos,
$3.50 90 por snnum. Now should tn,
city accept the gas company's offer, tbs
city will DO ct least $500 90 per year bet
ter OF than under the old contract.
