to escape from the Phoenix pier. died to-
day from the effects Of his injuries. Chief
Engineer Scott, OF the steamer British

GAS CONTRACT
NOT EXECUTED
RumOr That Mayor Fisher
Will Not Sign 1t
he HAS NOT SEEN PAPER
General Opinion That Wise Course
Was Taken by Directors in
Making a Contract

1t was reported today that Mayor
Fisher would not sign the Welsbach
gas lighting contract, but the rumor
could not be verified. The contract has
not yet been executed.
Mayor Fisher was seen this morn
ing and asked whether he had signed
the contract. He said
Il have not"
"Will you put your name to the
paper?" was asked
Il don't know" was the reply. IL
have not seen it.
IN case you did not sign it, would
it hold up the contract?' was asked.
Il think il would, was the reply.
City Solicitor Reinhardt had not
heard the report that the Mayor would
not sign the contract
AS a matter of fact" he said, "the
contract has not been presented 10
him. 1t has not yet been executed by
the gas company, and will not be be-
fore tomorrow. After both sides have
signed the contract, it will be presented
to the Mayor for his signature
Those asked about the contract to-
day seemed to think that the Mayor
would sign it, The general opinion
seemed to be that the Street and
Sewer Department had taken a busi-
nesslike view of the matter in agree
ing to tine compromise.
A great many people scout the idea
that the Mayor will refuse to sign the
contract, and thus put his stamp OF
disapprOvai on the commissioners
acts. Messrs Melvin'and Johnson were
appointed by him. and it is known
that he consulted with them on several
important subjects before naming
them. 1t is believed they had had an
understanding about this matter.
