issue Of bonds to make these extensions
tic cost Of which would have fallen on tht
whole tax paying public Of the city, bu
they were never issued, and therefore thC
old gas consumers, who had for twenty
years been enormously oyercharged BY
the old company, were still compelled Il
stand the burden and heat Of the day iol
the benefit Of those who were to be advan
tagged by the extension.
The gas bonds have been reduced To
S94,56O, less $500 in the hands
Of the Commissioners -as per the
last city statement-or, in other word.
to about $4,000, after paying interest,
InasmuCh as said bonds are not finally
payable until 1901, 1t seems as II their
total payment should not fall, in times
like these, upon those who have already
paid the old gas company such enormous
bills, and, in addition, paid so much fol
the extension Of the mains since the
purchase Of the works, into other parts OF
the city. .ssa
The figures given in Mr.. .Chandler's re.
port showed that the price Of gas can cas-
lily be reduced to one dollar per thousand,
which would be only Ss per cent. Of re-.
duction, and still leave an abundant mar.
gin for all contingencies. 1t Is TO be re.
membered that one dollar and eighty
cents is at least four times the necessary
cost Of It's actual manufacture, accord.
ing to the figures Of the ohiopenltentiary,
or over i've times the cost reported by that
institution. To show what It costs that
institution to make its own gas, we take
the following extract from Its report for
1878:
''The amount OF gas consumed during
the tirst'six months OF this report was H.
0S6,720 cubic feet, at cost Of S4,110 73,
averaging per 1000 cubic feet 37i cents.
For the last six months ending October.
81, the amount Of gas consumed was g.
l73, 200, at q cost OF S., 140 92, average per
1000 cubic feet SO 7-l0 cents, showing q
reduction OF costof manufacture OF 3 $40
cents per 1000 cubic feet. The amount OF
gas consumed during the year, as shown
BY consumers meters, was q, ,209, ,022 cubic
feet, being an increase over last year Of T.
24G, ,222 cubic feet, ut cost for all materials,
officers salaries, and convict labor at 20
cents per day, s., 200 II !, or an average OF
S5 7-l0 cents per 1000 cubic feet"
Inview ofthis exhibit, and in view Of
the enormous profit shown in the last city
statement, and in view OF the general de-
preston in business, We think that the
new Council should at as early a day as
possible pass az order reducing the price
ofgas 70 one dollar per thousand.

The PeeuIiarIty About Gas Rms OF Late

The PecuIIarlty About Gas Bills or Late.
For long while past there have been
constant complaints about the size of gas
bills, and people have not been slow to
say to each other that it seemed to make
very little difference what the price OF gas
might be nominally, inasmach as their
monthly payments did not seriously di-
minish from year to year. After the oc-
currenee Of Sunday night, and especially
in view of these complaints, we felt tempt
ed to dispatch reporter yesterday 10
call upon several consumers OF gas in order
to elicit some facts bearing on these COM
plants. Wewill first state that the price
Of gus in this city since 1872 has ranged
from s. 80 and s. 80 down to 81 80 per thou.
sand cubic feet. Such variation in price
should naturally and mathematically make
a decided variation in bills, in cases where
the average consumption has been about
the same. We find, however, that the
bills have not eorresponded 10, this reduc.
ton. One prominent dry goods house
gave us their bills for several years past
In 1873 their December bill was S25 4G,
against s27 Ss in 1873. Their total bill in
1873 was Slss 81 against $2l2 90 in 1878.
This, too, when there was a difference Of
over 90 per cent in the price Of gas. In
December, 1874, their bill was $50 72 as
against $28 25 in December, 1877, and their
total bill in 1874 was sl0l 81 us against
1854 80 in 1877.
A manufacturing concern Of the city
paid in December 1874, a bill OF SIPS OF,
and in December 1873, bill Of Sl96 SO.
One OF the firm paid bills in the same
years Of sls65 and sl66s, and another
member bills of s. 50 and s71S.
A citizen who has kept an account Of
his bills for years past, informs US that his
bill in December 1874, was s479 and in
December 1878, $500. In November 1874,
it was s. IS andiu 1878 S. IS. His whole
bill in 1874 was s94 81 and 1873 It was
$50 o..
The bill at the ISTELLIGENcER office in
December 1874 was S67 81, and in Decem'
ber 1878 it was s54 90. In December 1875
1t was $lOIsS aadiih Decenber1s77 D s47 Is,
We could quote further II It was neces'

The Lick observatory.

Since the return of S. w. Burn
ham, the astronomer, to his home
in Chicago, he has been giving,
says the Call, some very fiattering
accounts of the advantages possess
ed by Mount Hamilton as a site
for the Lick Observatory. In Chi
cago the difference between dry
and well-built thermometer is only
six or eight degrees, while on
Mount Hamilton, Mr.. Burnham
says, it is thirty, showing the latter
to have a very dry atmosphere.
The Mount Hamilton Obser-
vatory site is four degrees
of latitude south of Chicago;
but from the summit fifteen degrees
more of the southern heavens can
be seen. This is the result of great
er clearness in the atmosphere.
From Mount Hamilton he could
see better with the telescope al
most level than he could in Chicago
with an elevation of ten or fifteen
degrees. On Mount Hamilton the
barometer varies but little, and the
number of nights suitabl for obser-
walton is very large. AT night Mr..
Burnham says a heavy fog comes
off San Francisco bay, and another
stream of fog comes up Monterey
bay and the Santa Clara Valley,
and the two streams meet near the
mountain, but very seldom rise to
the summit. This fog is dense, and
looking down upon il from the
summit, it looks like great
white sea with mountain peaks
coming up through it like islands.
AS has already been stated in the
Mercury, 1t is the intention that
the telescope for the Observatory
shall be the largest repeating tele-
scope in the world. The object.
