REPORT OF GAS TRUSTEES.
The Gas Trustees, after giving a
lengthy account Of the management of
the gas works, the improvements made
and contemplated, concluded II, follows:
From the above showing and from the
fact that our citizens, and particularly
the heavy consumers. have looked for
ward from the time the city took pesses-
sion, to the time when the suit between
the city and the company would be set
tied, and when Il further reduction in
price could be made. That having been
settled and the city now in full possession
and control of all the rights and fran
chise of the old company and believing
it but Justice to the consumer that the
price be reduced to as low point as can
be done with safety, and leave sutti-
cheney of the earnings to pay all running
expenses and keep the works in repair,
with reasonable amount for contingent
cies, and the retiring of the gas loan
bonds us they become due, with the in
terest upon the debt; all Of which we feel
satisfied can de done If well and properly
managed. and make to the consumers
further reduction Of fifty cents per
thousand feet, on an after the first OF
June, 1875, which will then make the
price two dollars and thirty cents 50 3O)
with the usual discount if paid at the
office before the tenth of each month Of
ten l0) per cent. We would recommend
that the above reduction be made, and
that the price to the city lamps be con-
tiLucd as heretofore. We think this is rs
great reduction rs can be made until
the loan for which the works are pledged
is paid of, and hope our recommends
ton may be satisfactory TO the Council,
and the consumers We hope it may
please your honorable body to adopt all
the recommendations and suggestions
herein made at IN early day, in order that
the work may be got under way as soon
a. possible. Also for the further reason,
that iron pipes and castings are now low,
and may advance should there be any
considerable delay.

/ have found him to be good and careful
| manager ana well quallned lot the place,
and very careful of the city's interests, in
his management and running of the
works.
All the foregoing recommendations are
respectfully submitted for your consider
alton and action.
