the tables snowy length were plats OF
ferns and primulss. whose tiny pink
flowers suggested the old-fashioned
primrose. The color scheme was carried
out in the confections and bon-bons,
which were of varying shades of pink,
each tiny dish laid on spray OF delicate
fern.
The East Room was tropical with
palms. The window recesses were fill
ed with exotic plants, and the centre OF
the floor had been transformed into q
garden OF greenery and bloom. The
opalescent bulbs that star the ceiling
were wreathed with smilax which were
swung in loops from wall to wall. The
mantels glowed with bridesmaid roses
and poinse.ta blooms mingled with
gorgeously tinted leaves, and before
the great mirrors were suspended
wreaths OF Christmas holly. As the
President joined the guests In the East
Room the Marine Band, stationed in
the conservatory, began a programme
of inspiring music that continued
throughout the banquet. The Presi-
dent escorted Mrs. Hay, and Mrs. Nc

Dear sir: Regarding our proposition
recently submitted to council, concern
ine the operation of iucapdescent cleo
trio lights in this city, and which was
referred to the committee on light, we
made the following explanations:
We find according to the last annual
report issued by the city auditor, tbat
during the past fiscal year (paee 54)
20. 1O5 900 cubic feet of gas were sold to
the consumers and used by the city. II
also appears (page 45) after deducting
two irrelevant items, that it cost the
citv to maintain the plant and deliver
the above quantity of gas to the con-
sumers' burners, the sum OF Sl7 ,S2O.56
To this must be added five per cent.
interest on the duplication value OF the
works, which we have assumed to re
$50. 900. making a total producing cost
of 500. 800 Sc which, it will be noted, IL
almost exactly 81 90 psr thousand feet.
and at $l.2O per thousand. the present
selling price, the city retains pct profit
of 20 cents per thousand.
In order to illustrate the practical ef-
feet of the acceptance Of our proposal, we
beg to present for your consideration, a
comparison between 100 standard 5O
watt. incandescent lights. and lOO
standard 5 it. gas burners, both giving
the same illumination, and each burn'
ing one hou. oo
100 incandescent lamps, burning 5000
watts Is kilowatts) at 2 cents per kilo.
watt, (the revenue we offer) 10 cents.
100 gas burners consuming 500 feet o.
gas, at 20 cents per thousand (the city 4
net protiD, 10 cents.
Il will be observed from the above
that the municipality would receive The
same revenue in either case. Further
more. while the 16 candle power. 81
watt, electric lamp, is the type 10 com
mon use, the majority of gas burners
consume only 4 feet Of gas per hour
Making comparison upon this basis
we have the following:
100 electric lamDs consuming b kilo
watts at 2 cents, 10 cents.
| 100 gas burners, consuming 4OO feet
of gas at 20 cents, 10 cents.
la this case, the city would receive
cents, or / more, from the electric
lights. than it now does from q similal
number of gas burners.
Where gas burners of the Welsbacf
type are used, the result would be ever
more favorable to the city, as this GLASS
| Of burners requires only feet OF gas al
hour.
100 electric lamps consuming B klo
watts at Q cents, 10 cents.
100 Welsbach burners, consuming 3O'
feet of gas q, 20 cents, 6 cents.
In this case the city would receive
cents, or { more than 1t now does, iron
similar number of Welsbach burners
1t has been assumed in each OF tn
foregoing comparisons, that every cleo
trio light would supplant gas burner
but, of course, such would not be tru'
| in practice, as was clearly shown dur
ing the Christ mas holidays The cleo
trio light would be largely used for dec
orative and advertising purposes,
field in which there would be no com
petition with gas, hence the revenue Il
this case would be all profit.
Very respectfully.
