SURPRISE SPRUNG
IN ST. COMMITTEE
Mr.. West Moved to Lay Bids on
Table Pending Result of the
Jury's investigation.

JneXpectedly the investigation into al
legged and former municipal corruption by
the special grand jury cropped out III the
meeting of the Streets Committee last
night, when Councilman John I. West of
Madison Ward. moved that certain bids
for gutter work be tabled, pending the
investigation.
The. committee had advertised some time
ago for contracts for a small amount of
gutter pavement. and at the meeting last
night there were bids from J. c. Wein-
brunn. j. a. Goode and Charles Gasser
all three of whom have before done work
for the city. The amount involved in the
contract is not more than fifty dollars.
When the consideration of these bids
was taken UP, Mr.. West secured the floor.
asking that they be laid on the table,
pending the grand jury investigation of
the alleged corruption in the municipal
government.
Gentlemen, I hope these bids will not
be considered" said Mr.. West 'They
should be tabled for the present, at least
General Phillips here interrupted Mr..
West and asked his reasons for not car
ing TO consider the bids. inaSmuch as they
had been advertised for.

Recommends That City Dispense
With Patented Gas Burners
and Return to Flat Flames

If the Council adopts the recommen-
datiou of the Light Committee. all in
candescent gas burners now II, use in
Richmond will be relegated TO the rear
and in the future the city Will be iIlumtn-
ated by the fiat flame burner.
At the meeting of the committee last
night, it was the unanimous opinion OF
every member, the superintendent of the
gas works. and the inspector of gas that
the best course to pursue in the matter
of lights would be for the city to elmi-
Richmond and replace them with Tho
common gas light.
Recently the Light Committee adver-
tised for bids for incandescent lamps for
use on certain of the posts of the city.
After receiving and considering a num-
Der of bids, the committee rejected all
of them and reported to the Common
Council a recommendation that all OF the
Newly burners now In use be purchased
outright This report was turned down
and the entie matter recommitted.
When the matter came up last night.
Mr.. Minor proposed that In the future
the city dispense with patented burners
of any kind and return to the use OF the
fiat flame light. This motion was passed.
and in a short time all Newly lamps in
the city will be taken down
The Southern Stove Works asked that
they be allowed to put in a gas main
from their RANT to connect with tho
mains of the city at the corporate limits.
as they intend using gas for manufacture
ing purposes The matter was referred
to Superintendent Knowles
Just before tha committee adjourned
Mr.. Knowles called the attention OF the
members to the present coal situation,
stating that it is probable he will be
compelled to go to Baltimore in order
to get first class gas coal with winch TO
operate the plant, the Chesapeake and
Ohio Coal Agency having found 1t i'm
possible to live up to their contract with
the city
Mr. Knowles stated that the coz
agency had strike clause in their co--'
tract. which protected them from loss
and made it impossible for the city to
force them to deliver the coal at con-
tract hgures which are far below the
present price of coal.
