A resolution offered in the First Branch
by Mr.. Caldwell authorizing the Commit
tee on Real Estate to make suitable con-
rections between the natural gas pipes

was considered and then informally laid
aside.
Mr.. Hildreth offered the following:
Resolved, That the Board OF Public
Works be requested 20 examine the maxi
mum pressure OF natural gas actually used
(or &c re used) in the sTeets of Sfeuben
vile, East Liverpool, Pittsoarg, and other
places, and as soon as they have arrived
at a conclusion as to what pressure can be
allowed. without danger TO the lives OF
property of our citizens. that they then fix

Mr.. Gruse said be felt impelled 10 offer

This stirred up rafting debate, in which
Msssrs HsrreU Grnse Hll0rsib. Caldwell,

with in his boyhcod days, which contained
lis questions He used TO think tia
