GAS PROJECTS IN PARIS.

The Municipal Council Of Paris will decide this
week whether the gas concession shall be given
the American project to that formed by
Messrs. Sincay and Dehaynin. The latter's pro-
posal has already been rejected by the Gas Com
mission which has adopted in principle that of
Messrs. Devaluez and Grevy. called the PRO
jet Americain,' because according TO the Paris
papers, the required capital Of 100000 francs has
been subscribed by Mr. Rockefeller for 10000 600
francs the balance of 100000 francs being fur
nished by NJ. de Gournay. the representative and
agent IN France of the Congregations. This
000 600 francs has been placed at NJ. de Gour-
nays disposal by the Assumptionst fathers The
two proposals examined by the commission were
different only in regard to the yearly revenue or
amount to he given to the City of Paris. The
American project offered 25 per cent on the price
OF the gas sold besides the participation in profits
above q certain dividend Moreover, 1t guaran-
teed a minimum OF revenue TO the city Of 1900 Oc0
francs and one million in case the annual
consumption of gas should exceed ogOWO.9O cubic
metres. The French project offered nearly sim
liar advantages, but refused 10 guarantee mini
mum Of revenue. and this Is what induced the
commission TO adopt the 'Protet American"
Anyhow what specially interests the Parisians
Is that. thanks to the efforts Of the Nationalist
Counciimen led in their fight principally by
"LIntransigeant." Henri Rocheforts paper they
will pay hereafter only three cents for gas instead
OF i've and four cents as formerly.

1t is probable that James w. OSBORNE, OF couh-

advisab bility Of calling William c. Whitney and
Thomas F. Ryan to testify about the Interuroan
deal and the reasons for 1t. We believe that the
Interurban deal was put through as means
of enabling the company to continue paying

out of the stockholders. Our contention is that
Immediately previous to the Interurban deal
the Metropolitan Street Railway was actually
earning onlv H. per cent on its stock Some

from making inquiry about the condition OF the
company's affairs. What does Mr. Vreeiand 90 :
He asks that the stockholders consent 10

company, that they raise 23.OO0000 to pay for
tbe Third Avenue stock and that they create
a refunding mortgage of S65, 100000, of which
S11 100000 is to go into the Interurban pocket

to pay the Z per cent dividends on the Metro
