THE LATEST REORGANIZATION SCHEME

THE LATEST REORG1NIZATION SCHEME
Mr. John J. O'Brien was in Albany few days
ago and i'm the course OF some remarks to a IRIB-
UNE correspondent in reference 10 tue reorgan-
ization of the Republican party in this CITY he
said: ANY plan of reorganization that may
abe suggested by fair minded men will be ac-
"cepted by the leaders of the associations. And
"the reorganization may be made by these
"men. Some people say to me: Why don't
ayou yourself offer some plan of reorganza-
"tonp To that | reply that any plan we
@might suggest, however far, would he looked
"upun with suspicion. The suggestion must
"come from the outside"
1t will be observed that Mr.. O'Bren insisted
that reorganization must be accomplished from
the outside, giving as sufficient reason for
holding this view that "aDy plan we might
suggest "-meanng, Of course, by ave" those
now in the control of the organzation-" would
be looked upon with suspicion"
This was last week. This week resolution
masses the Republican Central Committee pro-
viding for the appointment of n committee OF
fifteen on reorganization. subsequently mo-
ton prevails to add to the committee John j.
O'Brien, of the Central Committee. and Charles
=. Spencer and Scion b. Smith, of the Exc Gu
tive Committee. Mr.. O'Brien promptly names
the committee, and in the face of his stern con-
victions of his duty in the premises as expressed
last week lie does not hesitate to make up the
committee in the interest of the inside. Twelve
of tie eighteen members of the committee be-
long to the organization which it is proposed to
reorg anize, while majority of the committee
are supporters of tile machine which made the
present organization what it is and which can
confidently be relied upon to resist any attempt
seriously to alter one of the most conspicuous
and characteristic pieces Of Its handiworx.
Nor Is this all. This committee of eighteen,
packed for the machine by John j. O'Brien, is
to report to the Executive Committee, which Is
still more solid for the machine. Indeed, 1t Is
not too much to say that many of the shining

COST or LIGHTING TIE CITY.


The iniduty of the Board of Aldermen in
voting away valuable franchises without Sc
curing any return to the city was freshly illus
truted yesterday. The Gas Commission
awarded the contracts for lighting the city for
the year beginning May /. Although all the
companies that were awarded contracts have
been given valuable street franchises the city
does not profit even to the extent OF securing
competition for lighting the public lamps. The
ten companies have divided the city into ten
districts, and each one bids for its particular
district alone. In this way the city is wholly
nj the mercy of the companies. There is the
less reason for this because the city owns its
lamps aud mains, and all the gas companies
have 10 do Is 10 make connections with the sup
ply pipes.
Although the quality of the light furnished
differs, as docs its cost, that seems not to enter
into the consideration of the gas companies
when making bids. Tbs New or< Gas Com
many, which furnishes water gas ofan illumin-
ating power of twenty candles charges the city
Sl7 80 for each lamp. The Manhattan, with coal
gas of sixteen candles power, charges the same
price, as does also the Mutual with its naphtha
gas. The city is now paying Sl7 % per lamp
where three years ago II was paying only @l@'
1t certainly costs no more to manufacture gas
now than il cost then. Since 1850 there has
been an average advance OF nearly So per lamp
for lighting that part OF the city below the
Harlem River while in the thic&ly populated
part the advance has been So 80 per lamp. Ii
woull he difficult to find any defence for this
changed condition of affairs. Now-1Ork now
evnends S5S4.lSla year for the public lamps.
1t secures no benefit from the valuable
franchises which tho gas companies own,
though they have the privilege of tearing up
the streets at their pleasure.
No advantage has yet accrued to the tax
payers from the introduction of the electric
light, except what comes from having brill
iantly illuminated streets. The space allotted
70 one electric light now was formerly occupied
by six lamps. The six gas lights cost $lO5,
while the one electric light now costs $3.50.
