NO GAS bOR THE CAPITOL.
Light Turned or the state Buildings and
Capitol square.


About O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
ciIy authorities turned the gas of the Cap
itoi Square. the Capitol, and the Governors
house. The ten days' notice had expired,
and no arrangements made for meeting
the bills long past due. and hence the city
ordinance was enforced.
At the recent session OF the General As
senbly the city's bill for eas consumed on
the Capitol Square and in the State build
ings was presented in the Senate. That
body utterly refused to pay anything for
the gas that had Of late been used on the
Square. They amended the bill, however,
10 provide for the payment OF that used IN
the Capitol and In the Governors House.
The Senate then passed the bill IN that shape
and sent II TO the House. where there was
no tiaal action taken on 1t.
The gas would have been turned of ten
days ago, but the Governor was absent, and
Il was resolved to wait until he returned
and bad time to look into the matter. He
came back several days ago, but he aud the
eiiy authorities were, II seems, unable to
make suitable arrangements for continual
ton Of the gas supply until the Legislature
meets again.
Chains and locks have been bought. ana
the gates OF the Capitol Square will be
locked upon the Richmond public at night
