Electricity VS.. Gas.

Not that / care to prolong news
paper discussion, nor, that care about
getting the last word, dol again ask
you to correct little statement OF Mr..
Householder, but because, il l have
misstated anything l want to assure
HIM that is was nnintentional, and
moreover it was only in the amount
and not in substance. said that in adj
dition to the contract price for street
lighting, the city paid other bills, which
went to swell the cost. Householder
led everybody to believe the total cost
was only $3.50, only remembered the
amounts as | heard them read, and |
now repeat that a bill was presented in
March 1856, for $500 for repairs,
another bill FOR repairs was presented
in December 1856, for $S0.35, and Mr..
Householder gives another bill of $17.
The December bill, myself moved
that it be paid, but it was referred to
the gas committee.
Now l repeat just what | said before,
these bills are over and above the con-
tract price tor gas, is that a misstate-
ment, Mr.. Householder ?
Maybe you also referred to my state
ment that the city was not in debt.
Everybody but you Mr.. Householder
understood that to mean floating debt.
Did you know Householder that city
could not pay of has bonded debt just
when she felt inclined? | am also un.
der obligations for the information that
the difference between 81 900 and 81,
500 is not 25 per cent but the error
was in your own heated Imagination.
Inever said the city paid only $1,000
for gas. You talk glibly about the
towns that have tried electric lights and
then abandoned them, why don't you
call some names? Also tell us how
much more they paid than we are ask
ing for ours. Wind is cheap House
holder.
And while you are going to give III
so much information, maybe you viii
tell us who the "two aldermen and ar
ex-alderman" are? Who are running
this machine" Just give US thu
names of the two aldermen. But is i
any more harm for an alderman, or al
ex-alderman to run "this machine" thar
it was for your ex-mayor to run the ga
machine" while he was mayor? O
for two ex-mayors to be running it now
If we we're begging for custom w
could say that five sixths OF our stocl
was held in GAINESVILLE, and held b.
twenty-three OF her citizens.
Will you tell US how much Of you
gas stock is owned by GAINESVILLE resi-
dents, and by how many Of them. AM
when you answer articles written b.
ne, it would be fairer to quote onl,
such words as l use md not put word
; in my mouth, as you can discover b
over looking your quotations.
