INC Englne IIouse Gas BlII.

THOSE GAS BILIs.-Thcre was some
grumbling in the City Council, on Tues
day night, about the amount OF gas
burned ut the United engine house. An
investigation yesterday revealed the fact
that while there was 1900 feet consumed
in the Vigilant engine house during the
month, and $500 at the Atlantic house,
there was but 4,40O feet burned at the
United house. Chief Marshal Winder
says that the consumption OF about G,OOO
feet is necessary for each engine house.
Register.
The above statement is suggestive OF
either the coolest impudenCe or the
densest Ignorance. lmpudence, because it
attempts to conceal the basis OF the
"grumbling in the City Council" and sets
up Chief Marshal Windcr's opinions as
the rule Of expenditures, after the cx'
preston of which, Councilmen should re-
main dumb as an oyster; or ignorance,
in attempting to impose statement upon
the public a4 an average of the gas con-
sumption by the engine houses, without
having investigated facts in relation
thereto. Nothing will crafty us more
than to give the party who suggested the
bovc statement, quoted from the Regis
ter, u gentle cye-opener in the way of u
few figures, which will enable not only
him, but the public, to see that the Coun-
Gil has good cause to "grumblc" about the
gas bills Of the United engine house. We
give below the bills paid for gas for the
use of the Atlantic and United engine
houses during the last fifteen months, by
the uuartrr.

Frnuds in Canned Goods.

The trade in canned goods has grown
so gradually as not to have attracted
much special attention as to the manner
OF its conduct, This state Of things has
been particularly favorable to the prac-
tice Of fraud. Recent Investigations in
several branches OF the traffic have de-
veloped tricks of trade which challenge
the attention Of consumers, Examina-
tions of over one hundred packages Of
oysters, fruits and vegetables, selected at
random, showed that they were about %
per cent under weight. Oysters were
found to be far from what they are rep.
resented. "IIali.pound" and "pound"
cans averaged-ior the former, 3 ounces
Of meat and ounces Of liquid, and for
the latter, the same proportions. In no
case was full weight found, Under such
state OF facts, II seems to be grossly I'M
proper to retain the present names for
such packages. The shortage in tOma.
toes was still greater. The solid con.
tents of "two.pound cans" were found to
range from l0i to IS ounces, and in
"threc.pound cans" ll3 to 20! ounces,
though the sizes Of the cans did not vary
much, Why should not the solid con-
tents of these packages be made to con-
form to the quantity indicated by their
names? Like deficiencies were found in
fruit cans. Green corn showed to better
advantage, "two-pound cans" averaging
23l ounces solid weight, Peas averaged
about II ounces for "two.ponnd'i" string
beans were rs low ar 10! ounces solid and
0! liquid; asparagus, "thrcc-pound cans"
90 ounces solid aud lli liquid.
These facts are such as justly challenge
the attention OF consumers, and put them
on their guard against fraud. The
canned goods trade, already large and i'm.
portant, is rapidly extending, as the ways
of successful preparation are developed,
and the facilities for fraud now afforded
constitute a strong temptation to packers
and dealers. It is not likely that in this,
more than any other departments OF
trade, all are alike. There are, no doubt,
honest men whom no temptation can in.
duce to cheat their customers; and for
their sake, no less than for that Of Gus
TONER'S frauds should be exposed. With
the attention Of buyers kept fixed upon
the subject, and constant watchfulness on
their part, the honest and dishonest deal.
ers will become known, aud may
be treated accordingly, One thing
is certain.-that little dependence can be
placed upon the out side appearances Of
packages. The most gaudy labels may
hide the most worthless articles; while
even the packers name, II he havea rcpu.
tatiOn for honesty, is likely to be used to
cover the grossest fraud. The most ready
and effective mode Of protection, il to
hold the retailer responsible for the char.
acter Of his goods. lie II fit for his bust.
ness, can know what he is selling, since
lie knows, or should know where it came
from. II he sells base article, it is safe,
as a rule, to assume that he docs 40 will.

the retailer, there il little protection for
consumers.
