1t was referred to the Sanitary Committee to
hand to the Board Of Health.

The Lamps aud Gas Committee presented
proposition from the Lambertville Gas Co.
for lighting the streets, etc., for the ensuing
year. 1t offered to furnish gas for 3-feet
burners, light and extinguish the lamps, keep
them clean aud in repair, and keep them
burning until 10 o'clock at night, Except on
moonlight nights for 5000 for the year.
Mr. Finney opposed the acceptance of the
proposition. He said it had cost the city but
$3.50 last year, and that all the gas company
offered Ia addition was the burning of the
lamps an hour later and some small extra re-
pairs. 1t was virtually paying the gas COM
pany $3.50 more than tho work had been done
for, and left 10 oil lamps to be lighted and
put out by the city.
Mr. Mollick thought that when the extra
repairs were done by the city che cost of them
would make up the difference between the
bid Of the company aud last years cost.
Mr.. Kilroy opposed the proposition as too
high. He thought it should be done for con-
sderably less.
1t was finally decided to get proposition
from the gas company for simply furnishing
the gas for same time and hours as last year

thorized to get proposals for repairing lamps
