RecommendationsR Renewed.
Mr. Ford's report concludes with the fol-
lowing recommendations: ;,
..The recommendation made il the an
nual reports of this office for number
Of years past that the gas companies in
make a more suitable rebate than they
allow at present in cases where meters
complained Of by gas consumers are found
by the inspector to register In excess Of
newed. The same course should be fol-
lowed where meters are found to register
fast as is pursued by these companies
where meters are found to register slow or
fail to register at all; or a similar course
should be required to that adopted by the
New York and Baltimore gas companies
as appears in the annual report of this
Office for the year 1873
Il respectfully recommend that the SAL
ary attached to the position of first as
sistant inspector of gas and meters be in
creased from 81, 600 to 81 400 per annum
The work of inspecting, proving and seal
ing meters has largely increased during
the last several years, making the posi-
tion of first assistant inspector of gas and
meters one of some Importance and re-
sponsihiity; and the increased salary men,
toned Is only fair compensation for the
performance of the duties of first assistant
inspector Of gas and meters.
"The Recommendation heretofore made
for some time in the annual reports Of this
office that the messenger receive salary
of $500 per annum, which is an increase of
$12O per annum, Is again renewed. The
messengers attention to the sulphur and
ammonia tests at the Georgetown and
southeast laboratories entities him to the
additional compensation"
