We publish this week the Town Ordinance
providing for the sale of the Bonds, ordered
by the special election. The board has
wisely determined to make proposals for the
purchase of the Bonds by private bidders.
The paltry premium bid at the public sale of
the $1,000 worth of bonds six years ago and
their present worth, certainly warrants the
proposed step. We believe that the $500
worth of s per cent ten twenty bonds will
bring a handsome premium.

TESTING THE CITY'S GAS.

Referring to the articles which have been printed
recently In favor Of close inspection OF the umina-
ting gas used in the CITY, Dr.. George b. Fowler.
Medical Health Commissioner said yesterday that
inspections are made daily by DR.. Love under the
direction Of the Department Of Public Works.
DR. Love has pipes In his laboratory" said DR..
Fowler, which lead from all but two of the ctys
gas works, and 1t is easy matter with this ar
rangement to have samples taken at any time for
testing purposes. The gashouses from which there
are no pipes in DR.. Loves office are visited by him
daily and the gas which they produce is tested like
all the other II II Is found to be lacking In quality
or pressure. report Is made to the Department al
once but the sanitary questions not dealt with.
II the Health Depa ment had the matter in charge
that important point could be taken care Of.
at is fortunate" continued DIR. Fowler that
Illuminating gas has strong odor and that its
presence is at detected Fuel gas has no odor.
and on that account It's introduction will add
serious element of danger to public health unless
precautionary measures are adopted. Before 1t H.
infroduced an odoriferous ingredient should be
added TO It, so that its presence In the air can be
noticed as quickly as illuminating gas Is now de-

THE FIFTH-4TE. IMPROVEMENTS.

Water Purveyor Edward p. North. in speaking
yesterday OF published statements that the parts Of
Fifth-ave. where trenches have been dug for the
laying of the new 4S-inch water main and new sew
ers are permeated with odors Of sewer gas driving
people from their houses and club members from
their club quarters said that the condition Of things
had been greatly exaggerated and in many respects
msrepresented.
II don't how sewer gas can come out of
ground where there never was a sewer" said the
Water Purvcyor. I'VE proposed 10 lay the now
water main in Fifth-ave.. between Forty-thrd and
Fifteth SITS, and finish II this year but unexpected
rock formations INSTRUCTED our work and also
found 1t necessary TO put in sewers In blocks
of Fifth-ave. that had never been severed Owing
TO the delays incident to these discoveries we will
not be able to complete the work beyond Forty
eighth-st before suspending operations for the
winter.
THE Is obvious. Concrete even in the
most favorable weather ought not TO have the
phalt laid down upon IL until after at least week
10 secure the best results. The pavement should
he laid In freezing weather The injury 10
the asphalt would be irreparabe. Whatever may be
said about the ability of the contractor. do not
propose TO walk into a bad job with both my eyes
I'VE shall finish the work between Forty-eighth
and Fiftieh SITS. soon the conditions will per-
nit In the coming season. and also from Sixtieh-st
west side. UP to Eighty-frst-st. Everything that
possible being done and VII be done N the future
Of Fifth-ave. where these Improvements are being
made"
Some of the people who live along the line of the
beated improvements have been unable TO stand
the odors generated. and have abandoned their
houses until the work should be done. Among them
is Roswell p. Flower. whose house is No 5s7
Fifth-ave.. and General Daniel Buterfeld. The
clubs whose houses are in the vicinity Of the i'm
prove ments being made are among the loudest
complainans. Many club members do no; go to
their clubs now on account Of the intoerable odors
Several hotels too sun sring from the nuisance
and a number Of guests have sought other hotels
where the air could be had unpclluted.
