warrant specifies
DR.. Davis thought the resolution very
good one, and was heartily in favor of its
passage. Promptness always insures ac-
curacy lie finds that when he has pro-
fessiOnal visit to make that if he goes at
once and does not put it OFT until g some
more convenient time" it is done for
good,
The resolution was passed without dis
sent select council amended by referring
it to the finance committee.
MIR. Ostermayer presented series of
preamble and resolutions reciting that the
street gas lamps on North Queen street
between James and Frederick have been
very much neglected during the past
winter, being but seldom lighted, and di-
rectiny that gasoline lamps be substituted
for the gas lamps in the locality men,
toned.
Mr.. McMullen said he was against the
resolution because to him it looked like
taking a step backward.
Mr.. Ostermayer replied that whilst he
also would prefer gas lamps to gasoline he
wanted light, and since the gas company
refused or neglected to light their lamps,
he proposed to see whether his neighbOr-
hood would not fare better with gasoline.
Mr.. McMullen said that he did not
often get into the locality designated in
the resolution offered by Mr.. Oster
mayer, but at the same time. he
was inclined to tho opinion that the
fault did not all lie with tho gas company,
but rather with the lamp-lighters. In ex-
PLANTATION he instanced the fact that while
passing down East Orange street one
evening recently he observed 4 very small
boy attempting to light q gas lamp, but
apparently without success. On asking
the little fellow what was wrong, the boy
replied that he was unable to turn ON the
gas. Mr.. McNIullen reached up and turn
cd ON the gas, the only trouble being that
the cock did not work easily and the boy
had not the strength to turn it. The fact
of the matter is. that tho lamp.lighters
shirk their duties and employ little boys
to do the work which they are paid for.
DR.. Davis thought at all events the mat
ter was ono that deserved to be inquired
into and remedied, and on his motion the
resolution was referred to the lamp COM
mittee.
