HAVE COST $4,000.


Auditor Edward j. Warren appeared be
fore the committee and stated that he
had been over his books and calculated
that the total cost Of the Gas-Works 10
the city UP to the present time every
thing included was between S,9a0V ana
100000
Mr.. Wallerstein stated to the commit
tees that the works. az a rough calcula-
tion. are worth Sl00OW. lie turlher
said that It was more than probable that
the profits from the gas works this year
would be as much as $4,000. since there
would be "a saving in the reduced price or
oil and large Increase I'm the revenue
from tar, il having risen from % cents -
Mr.. Rountree said that he thought It
was a bad time 10 arrive at any decision
regarding the gas works, that they were
lust recovering from the eject or mis-
management, and 10 one could tell WhL
revenue they were capable OF producing
He thought the wisest thing that could
he done was TO recommend that ~ was IN
expedient TO consider the question al pres
ent.
Mr. Zimmerman said that. while he
was not at all disposed TO lease the gas
works. he thought IL was fortunate that
the proposals TO lease them had been
made in order that the subject might be
discussed and the people informed con-
cerning the revenue arising therefrom.
Mr. Wallerstein said that the matter
should be discussed so that the public
might know that the works were not
losing money. as some supposed.
Mr. Uardwicke said he was opposed 70
giving away any more valuable fran
chises. He could see no reason TO lease
for $40 600 a plant that was now bringing
in $4,000 a year. lie was In favor OF the
city selling her franchises al good price
and not giving them away. as had been
the case. notably with the streot-car
franchises.
Mr.. Noble spoke briefly against parting
with the gas works al this time and in
cidentayy advocated municipal owner
ship Of an electric light plant.
A SMALL PROFIT.
MIR Zimmerman said that the present
income from the gas works. which was
only about per cent. ON The amount in-
vested was extremely low. The offer
he said OF $4,000 per year showed that
those who desired TO lease the works, ex-
pectcd 10 make a much larger sum out OF
IT.
Mr. Noble stated that the Committee
on Labor OF the Light Committee had
done good work I'm the interests Of re-
trenchment at the eas works. which was
now being run with four less men than
ever before.
After considerable discussion. and the
expression of many members OF views ad
verse to leasing the works Mr.. Witte
moved that a report be made to the Coun-
ell that the committees deemed it mex
pedient at this time 20 dispose OF the
gas works The motion was unanimous
Is adopted and the body adjourned.
After the meeting. Mr. Walledsteln. who
Is thoroughly familiar with the condition
OF the works. stated that At $4,000 year
