In these circulars sufficient Is told to
give very clear idea Of what the book

thirty-two illustrations. including por-

he who reads will stand amazed that
such deeds are done IN. free country

Whatever the book may be-the ad-

the end Is not yet. Our nation is In the

amounts sued for are as follows: Peoples

Chicago Gaslight and Coke Company,
$4,000; Hyde Park Gas Company, S25, 900;
Lake Gas Company. $4,000. and Sub

Plaintiffs claims are for gas furnished

This put the Administration in 4 d.

threatened either to cut off the supply or
to refuse to continue the 31-2 per cent.
OF their receipts TO the city. called for In

clam CLAIMED that the i: per cent, was all
being paid into the general fund It was
always enough in excess OF approprIa-
tons not only to eat up the bonus, bu,
to leave a large amount to the wrong
side OF the public ledger.
In substantiation of this claim a state
ment from the tComptroller's books was
made. i showed that in the. ,five years,
from 1889 to 1898 inclusive, the 81 per
cent bonus amounted to $409g5S. During
that period the city appropriated s., OPS. :

held that the city. in reality got no ben.

the Council refused further payment OF
back bills in consequence.
