their large gas bills.
In addition, Mr., Pollock called our at
tention to the fact that December last was
very dark month-unusually 50. Many
people during the greater part Of thar
month were compelled to light their gas
at 81 P. N. This, Of course, would have
great influence on their gas bills.

THE REMEDY.

The trustees desire it to he understood
that il any complaint is made to them
the meter OF the consumer will be taken
out and tested in his presence, and il not
found correct new one will DO substi-
tuted, The trustees have always found
that when meter il not correct the city
Is the loser. The other day disafiected
merchant had his meter tested, and found
it had been giving him two per cent more
gas than he paid for.
Complaints had been made by the con-
sumers about not getting enough gas, but
now that a stronger pressure has been put
on the people complain Of their bills. The
way to detect the dishonesty Of the off
Cials is for the consumer to learn to read
his meter. Any one Of ordinary intelli-
gence can learn 10 read meter in ten
minutes. II any one wishes to learn to
read meter the trustees will take pleas
ure in teaching him. After having learn
cd, the consumer can go to his meter on
the first day Of each month and ascertain
Just how much gas he has used.
Gas is paid for at the rate Of 50 OF per
1000 feet II paid for before the 10th Of
each month, and II not So 30 is charged.
In making out bill against consumer
the Secretary docs not take fractions into
consideration; that is to say, II man
burns 1875 feet Of gas he is charged with
900 feet. The additional 70 feet Of gas,
however, will be credited to him the next
month. This is rendered necessary from
the fact that II the bills were made out
for fractions Of 100 feet the work would
DO almost without end.
In the distribution OF gas a certain per
centage Of leakage is unavoidable, but
this can be reduced to minimum by the
exercise Of n little care. Many people
leave their gas burning all night and

BURNERS.

Far too little attention is paid to the
character OF the burners. The amount
of light produced by given quantity Of
gas varies enormously with the conditions
under which il is burned. There is no
economy of light in small burners. I'm
der the same pressure a burner which
consumes four feet OF gas per hour
gives more light than two burners
Consuming each two feet. The gas
referees OF London made report in
1871 on the subject OF burners, in which
some points are established which are OF
great importance. They found that by
using good burners instead Of bad ones,
consumers may obtain from 80 to so per
cent more light while their gas bills re-
main the same. The Improvement Of
burners is important as sanitary re-
form, rs in furnishing the same quantity
OF light the good burner will consume less
gas and consequently air, and will pro-
ducc smaller quantity OF the products
OF combustion, and less heat than poor
burner. Burners from two newspaper
offices gave. only half the illuminating
power Of the gas, while several Of the
burners tested gave only one.quarter Of
the proper light Of the gas. These facts
and many others which came to their
knowledge proved tothe referees that ian
enormous waste Of gas prevails, with a
corresponding pecuniary loss to tho pub

wnY So ltucn MORE CAS- IS puRNEp.

The trustees account for the people
burning so much more gas by the fact
that the S-inch main on Market street
mas been strengthened by Pinch main.
More than double the amount Of gas now
comes into the main on Market street
than before the main was strengthened.
This Of course gives heavier pressure
on the burners. And again, frequently
consumer has big party at his house,
when all the gas is turned on and the
building Illuminated throughout. In
this way the bills insendbly increase in
magnitude.
MIR. Pollock spoke Of an instance show
ing the difference in the bills Of two dry
goods merchants, carrying on business
side by side, with the same number Of
gas burners in their store rooms. One Of
these merchants burned 5000 feet more
gas in 1875 than in 1874, while the other
burned 800 feet less in the corresponding
years. Yet, owing 10 the reduction in
the price OF gas, the formers bill was
only few dollars more.in 1875 than in
1874. No complaint was made Of this
excess, however.
