preparation, and things looked all right for
about a minute. But when the commit
tee came to pick out the amount of work
which would have to be done out Of the
ten cent levy fund, they stalled. Figure
as they might, they could only get about
SIC, 600 of the work which could properly
come under that head. All efforts to
change the schedule Of streets to be paved
so as to make the thing fit failed, and in
despair the committee, at ten minutes OF

To the Finance Committee Of Council;
GRNTLEMEN:-We desire to enter QUE
protest against any disturbance OF the sur
plus moneys in our hands, as indicated By
your action yesterday evening.
This money should be he'd in the bus
iness Of the works for several re asons:
l. Liability to accidents serious enough
to involve the expenditure Of con siderable
money.
2. To provide, when necessary, facilities
for successfully competing with the cleo
trio light.
8. To indemnify the gas consumers Of
the city against the contingency OF paying
q higher price for gas.
The Trustees, In their estimate, con-
templated economy Of the s~trictest char
aeter, and pared down too closely in some
of the details, not imagining for a moment
that violent hands would be laid upon their
moneys, and right in the face of such a
vital reduction in the price Of gas as was
eonsumated recently.
In all the history Of the Gas Works
Council never hitherto attempted to cover
the surplus earnings back into the treas
