Inside the ceiling and portions Of the
walls have been newly frescOed in tints
well becoming a house Of God. New
gas-fxtures have been put in, new car
pets laid, and everywhere the hand Of
improvement is visible. While so much

A resolution has been introduced in
the Council looking to the building Of a
new gas-holder. That may be what is
needed. but it is q significant fact that
the greatest trouble about the present
gas-supply is its inadequscy early iH
the ereEtNg. From 4! to 6 O'Clock gas
seems scarce and the pressure light.
After that hour the supply is much
better and the light usually good.
