The county commissioners cay their
action in dispensing with gas-light In
the county Jail WAS caused by the ex-
tremely heavy expense OF the gas.
The November gas bill for the Jail was
about SAL, and the jail management
was then using seventeen jets. The
commissioners consider the question
and Were In favor of cutting of the
gas at once, but MIR. Mccain, the Jailer,
said he would use all possible economy
and cut the number OF Jets
20 he used down TO eight. But
when the bill came i'm for
last month, II amounted to SOL 20.
The commissioners came To the con
cluslon that such an expensive luxury
rould be dispensed with, and 30 an
order was entered on the court record
to that effect
The court also contemplates dispensing
with the use Of gas I'm the courthouse,
but THE GAZETTE hopes an order 10 this
effect will not be made, as gas-light In
the building Ia Indispensable to its use
10y the citizens who pay the taxes.
