she said it might not be necessary, per-

Surprising her faith had a large share in
the relief, Iwould not allow myself to

hot water would have had. But whenI

The following extract from the proceed
ings Of the City Council Of Charleston. at
their meeting on Tuesday night, shows that
the "City Fathers" Of the "City by the Sea-"
In administering for the public interests,
look beneath the surface Of all measures,
aud do not think the cheapest contract for
municipal work is the best In the end. The
meeting was for the election of city officers,
and among other matters disposed OF was
the awarding Of the contract for the city
printing. The account says:
Alderman Roddy, from the Committee on
Printing, submitted four bids, viz: From
the Ne16S and Courier Company, from the
Charleston Mercury, from the Charleston
Herald and from the Sunday Times. The
offer from the Nel0s and Courier Company
was to publish the official proceedings of
Council in the NetOs and Courier for 81, $50
year and to furnish the journals OF Council
in pamphlet form for $3.50 year, with
suggestion that If a contract or four years
was entered into, the company would per-
form the work for less price.
Alderman Sweegan, after hearing the bids
read, said: "In order to test the sense of
the G uucil, move to accept the bid OF the
Nea0S and Courier Company for one year. /
w lAio DNNdhSO - PSAAN4SS
Councils has led me to the conclusion that
cheap printing very often turns out before
the year expires to be the most expensive.
Bearing this fact in mind, and with the in
terest Of the city at heart, move TO accept
the cid of the Nfl0S and Courier Company,
rather than to accept the lowest bid before
Council"
The motion was agreed to.
The Mayor said that, in his opinion, It
would be more to the interest Of the city to
make a contract for four years at a lower
rate. as indicated in the offer from the NelCS
and Courier Company.
Alderman Dingle stated that he was
authorized to say that II the contract was
entered into for four years. the price would
be reduced to 81 600 for publishing the off,
cial proceedings of Council.
The Mayor said that he did not consider
the charge high one by any means, and he
was In favor Of making a contract for four
years at the price indicated.
On motion of Alderman White the vote
whereby the bid of s., $50 for one year had
been accepted was recOusidered, and the
matter was referred to the corporation coun-
sci to report whether Council had the au-
thOrity to enter into contract beyond its
term Of Office, and In the event of the cor
pOratiOn counsel reporting that the contract
could be made for four years then such con-
tract was ordered to be made at the price of
$4,000 year.

The New StreeE Lamps-General
Enw.nEnHnN

The change from coal gas to nsphtha oil
for lighting the street lamps does not ap-
pear to give satisfaction, as we hear con-
siderable complaint about the unreliabililY
Of the light, and the objections to its use
which were urged previous to the contract
being signed seem to have been well
founded.
A gentleman who resides in the vicinity
Of the Park informs Us that on Tuesday
night, when returning home from his office,
about half past twelve o'clock, he
found the greater portion Of Whitaker
street, from BroughtOn to Taylor, in dark
ness. Between Perry and Jones there was
not a lamp lighted.
Another citiz n informs US that by eleven
O'Clock Tuesday night the lamps on York
street, between Whitaker and BIrnard,
were unlit, and on Abercorn, DrsylOn ana
81. Julian streets there were several
lamps in darkness. The lamps are
lighted at very early hour
in the afternoon, q considerable time before
dark, and Il is presumed the reservoirs are
exhausted long ere the night is past, other
wise il would be difficult to acOuntt for so
many Of them going out. a correspondent,
in s communication elsewhere, gives some
figures in this connection, Of interest. 1t
would be well for the authorities to look
into this matter, as the proper lighting OF
the city is a very important matter.
