WILL FURNISH A BOND.
New Gas Company to Submit New
Proposition Tonight.

The gentlemen comprising the new
ly-organized Consumers Gas COM
pany, now seeking a franchise from
the city. will it is understood, submit
new proposition at tonights meeting
of the select council.
They will guarantee to put up n
bond in the sum of s25,000 to prove
their sincerity; this bond to revert to
the city in case they sell out to or
amalgamate with the present gas COM
pany after the franchise is secured.
This proposition will be submitted to
counteract the influence of Mr.. chit
tendens amendment, presented last
Thursday night, but postponed for a
week, making it mandatory upon the
company to furnish gas at n figure not
greater than seventy-iiVc cents per
thousand.
The gentlemen interested in the new
company do not like Mr.. Chittenden $
amendment They maintain that to
sell gas at seventy-five cents would be
cutting il down to too fine n figure.
The argument will be advanced that
, inasmuch as Mr.. Chittcnden'S main
contention was that if such IA price
were not fixed the company would
sell out. their proposition to forfeit
$4,000 will be preventative of this, or
if It is not, the city will be in just
| $25, 200.
The ordinance is now on second read
ing. and those behind it say there
will be enough votes on hand tonight
to defeat the Chittenden amendment
and secure its passage on second and
third readings

In discussing the allegations made
that the missionaries are visionary,
tactless and thoughtless. and arc the
cause of all the recent trouble in the
East, DR.. Dunlap said that nothing
so panied the hearts of the returning
missionaries as to hear these reports.
To refutc this argument. he pointed

the latter say must be complied with
by the city before the Increase in in
surance rates of twenty-five cents on
every 800 will be taken off.

minded citizen must admit that what
the insurance people ask is fair and
reasonable. We need all these things.

day, and / estimate that this increase
will mean about $4,000 extra expense
to the people of this city every year.
If in any possible way that sum could
be used to properly equip our fire de-
partment. it would be very nice. The
people will pay that amount to the in
surance companies. but if they were
asked to pay it to the city FOR just one
year there would be u deal of protest.

MUNICIPAL MILK INSPECTION.
Interesting Paper Read by DR.. Hell
mer at PHILADELPHIA.
Mire from Thc AssocIated Pres,.

By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press
Philadelphia, March 6.--"The Prob
lem of Municipal Milk Inspection
was the title of a paper read by DIR.
Jacob 1Ielmer, of Scranton, at today's
session of the annual meeting of the
state Veterinarian association. DR..
Helmcr asserted that the laws govern
ing the inspection of milk are made
quate and offered numerous sugges-
tions as to the manner I'm which this
system might bc improved. lie said,
in part:
state legislation relating to the sale
Of milk in cities, towns, boroughs ana
villages of Pennsylvania, practically
gives no authority to boards of health
and councils for anything more than
the appointment OF an inspector To
manipulate and analyze samples of
milk. With few exceptions, nothing
more than this is done throughout the
state The milk laws are good as far
as they reach. Their deficiency con-
sists in that they are not comprehen-
sive enough.
"a successful milk inspector would
inspect every COW, the character of
milk house, the cleanliness and health
of those who handle the milk. and
every little intricate point"
DR.. Helmer suggested additional
laws which would aid the inspection
of milk and be a preventative of the
contagion which is spread by uusani-
tary milk.
The association will work in con-
| junction with the American Associa.
| ton of Veterinarians.
4 delegation from the association
| will go to Harrisburg tomorrow tc
protest against the Stiles bill amend
| ing the law governing the practice OF
veterinary medicine, which has passed
| the senate and will go before the house
| committee tomorrow.

field of golfers representing the most
expert talent in the west, to-day began

Thorne trophy. and prizes have been
provided for the winners Of the com
petitions between the second and the
third sixteens. who will play simultaHe-
ously with the hampionship field.
AS the amateur championship con-
test is the chief golfng event of the

of ram did not deter a large gallery
from being present when II. J. Tweedie,
Of the Belmont Club, teed off at "a m.
Tweedie and his opponent, ". V. D.
