The Council on Monday night rejected the
ordinance which had previously passed the
Board Of Aldermen by vote of Is to l appro-
priating SZ5. 900 to create a water-gas plant in
aid of the existing gas works. Those who
voted in the Council against the appropria-
tions are Messrs. Carter, Courtney, Curtis,
Dacont. Ferguson, Ferriter, CARRIER, Grimes.
Houston. Jackson Layne, Mann. O'Neal.
Trower. Royal White.
The Superintendent Of the Gas Works APP
peared before the Council and stated to 1t
that unless this water-gas plant was provided
for. the city would be compelled TO construct
new gas holder at an expense TO 1t OF
$4,000 and he earnestly recommended that
the appropriation for the watergas plant
should be made. He also said that IT cost
much less 10 produce water gas than COIL gas.
Mr.. Glover, who has certainly given time and
attention enough to the subject 70 know
something of it, said that water gas could be
furnished to consumers at ii per LOW ieet
as acans: 1925 now paid.
If. then. the resolution had been passed
our gas would cost us 81 instead Of SL25-a
saving Of 20 per cent-and the city would be
taxed TO pay interest on s25O 900 Of bonds in
stead of on $4,000. and the city would also
save the wages of seventy men now employed
AT the COS works. whose services could be
dispensed with if we had the water-gas plant.
This seems TO he the case markedly stated.
How can the oouncilmen who voted against
the ordinance justify their votes TO the tax
payers OF this city We have heard OF but
one single argument advanced on that side.
which is that if the ordinance IS adopted It
will cause seventy men 10 lose their jobs at
the gas works. But are the gas consumers of
this city to have their monthly bills greatly
increased. and is the city debt to be largely
increased that seventy men shall remain in
the cty's employment;
The taxpayers and tie Gas consumers OF the
city had better find some other way Of sup
porting these seventy men ii they must TO
main on their hands There are many ways
in which they may be supplied far less ex-
pensively than this A new Council comes
into Office on the 1st Of July. We hope the
Superintendent recommendation will not be
considered Ms rejected, but simply postponed
until the new Council is inaugurated.

The conviction Of Deeming .. murder in
the first degree Is the perfectly logical con-
clusion of the trial Of that monster IN human
shape which has been going on at Melbourne
for some time No one will question the strict

there is any well-defned feeling beyond the
satisfaction which the verdict has given it is
that II is a cause for regret that man who

The Independent spirit of the Americans

rebelious spirit. but in the instance of this
school the boys have adopted the more effective
plan of American worbnsmen. The cause #

discharge of teacher. When tho principal

Of boys were listening TO the shrill declama-
lions of several of the biggest pupils who had
constituted themselves stump orators for The
occasion and were delivering themselves of
sentiments that would do credit 10 the most
advanced types OF the Anarchist species.
Some were advising the pulling down of
the school-house; others were advocating
bombardment with brickbais; cooler heads
were unfolding plans for a regular siege of
the premises. apparently with the design Of
starving the inmates. The hostile symptoms
exhibited ON all sides seemed violent enough
TO assure rapid destruction of the whole big
building and its quaking garrison OF teachers W
The result of the strike was that a dozen
policemen had to be sent to the scene of the
disturbance. and IL was only after several de-
termined charges that the boys could be
