In the above the only uncertain elements
are Mr.. Anderson's claims that with the
new benches OF retorts twenty men will do
the labor OF forty-eight, and that he will
obtain from the coal 1G5 per cent. more gas
than is now obtained-that is, if one pound
OF coal yields now 41 feet OF gas, in the
new benches it will yield 40 feet. Both
these claims are largely too great.
Mr.. Anderson presents the following es-
innate Of COST
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1883-01-25

1 Cincinnati. II was suggested to the chair
man OF Committee on Light that Mr. Ander-
son should accompany his plan with a bill
for the construction OF the work that there
would not occur hereafter, should the city
adopt his plan, such an opportunity for
competition, and that IL was obviously his
interest now TO make his bid "a inviting a.
possible. After the city adopted his plan
there would seem no alternative but to
give him the work, az we must hold the
author OF the plan responsible for its sue
cess. The reply OF Mr.. Anderson was that
he would let us know the cost after the
city adopted his plan; and this seems to
have satisfied the chairman OF the Commit
tee on Light. We will learn then what
the work will cost after the city Is COM
mitted to the plan.
Let us consider now what 1t is claimed
will be saved under the Anderson plan.
He claims that the labor will be reduced
by the discharge OF twenty-eight men in
the retort-house-this and no more-a
saving OF 10 cents per thousand feet. He
claims that the coal will cost 3S3 cents, and
the Auditor shows il now costs 40 cents
q saving OF - cents. These two items
make 235 cents saved by his own figures,
and this is all. The Auditors statement
referred TO above shows that the only other
item entering into the cost Of gas besides
labor and coal is for incidental expenses.
These, we may infer, consist OF lime and
other materials for purifying, repairs,
small tools and implements, materials for
smith-shop, office charges, and numerous
small items, for which the city has paid
during the past five years IL cents per
thousand feet OF gas manufactured.
There il no other saving but the two
items named above.
Now the problem stands thus:

The select committee to investigate the rela-

OF Representatives, to the Washington Gaslight
Company, held an adjourned meeting to-day.
Mr.. o. A Stevens, OF this city, and Mr.. W. K.
MehafIey, reading clerk OF the House, both testi-
ned they knew nothing of Mr. Bailey having en-
deayored to influence legislation In the interests OF
the Washington Gaslight Company.
Mr: J: W. Bartlett, tally clerk OF the House, tes-
uned that at the last session OF Congress- after the
District bill had been under discussion, he met
Mr. Bailey the next morning In the lobby In the
rear OF the Speakers desk. Witness said to Bailey
that q good many members had made an assault
on the gas company. Mr.. Bailey said. In substance
the assaults were very unjust He suggested that
witness knew a good many members, and he
should see them Mr.. Bailey did not, however,
suggest who he should see, or what he should say
TO them. The conversation between them was
merely casual, and did not take over three min
utes Witness opened the subject or the CONVEX
SatiOn himself.
Journal Clerk Smith and ex-Journal Clerk Bar
clay were called witnesses, but both were re-
ported sick. The committee adjourned until Sat-
urday next
Mr. klotz has asked that Donn Piatt, Mr.. Bartol,
president OF the gas company, and eX-Clerk or the
House Adams be subpPnaed as witnesses.
