WOULD ACCEPT Gas BIDS.
Oakley Recommends DesiSting Eff
forts to Get LO7cer Rates.

Commissioner Oakley OF the Department OF Water
Supply. Gas and Electricity practically recommends
the abandonment OF any further effort the part
Of the city 10 get lower rates for lighting. and
favors the acceptance OF the bids put IN last month
by tho lighting trust Nr Oakley says that he sees
no reason to believe that second rejection OF bids
would result in any benefit To the city
Commissioner Oakley believes the public would
approve the plan to change all the gas lamps IN
Manhattan 20 welsbach gas mantle lamps. lie
SAYS there would be enough to make the 1900 fg-
ure for which number the Consolidated Gas Com
pany has offered to supply gas at 50 IS n lamp.
and that the change from the open fame to mantle
lamps would gve three times more cnndlepower a

ton. II the change is made It VIII be begun on
May I and be completed on July l.
Whatever action We take the bids Of 1924.
the Commissioner writes. viii have considerable
effect on the bids for 1905 New-York IS at present
!nadequateIy lighted. and the charges FOR lighting
have been exceptionally high. believe that the
offer OF the Consolidated Gas Company Of S24 10 for
mantle lamps should be accepted. This would dis
pose at once Of the other bids for different kinds
of gas lighting in Manhattan and The Bronx ex-
cept the street signs and fire alarm lanterns"
The Commissioner suggests that bids where con-
tractors offered 10 supply lamps and maintain
them the city 20 supply tho gas should he re-
jeoted, and recommends the acceptance OF the bid
OF the American Lighting Company, OF Baltimore.
TO furnish naphtha mantle lamps for Central Park
at 81 30 a lamp. Its bid is the lowest, and while
lower than last year. II IS st, in the Commission
er's opinion. rather high.
The Commissioner says the city IS the largest
consumer OF incandescent light on the books OF the
electric lighting company, and yet II makes little
or no difference the price being only little less
than the ordinary consumer has TO pay. sir.
Oakley says he is considering the rejection or All
bids for electric lighting but has hestatcd because
he has no assurance that by readvertisng he can
obtain lower figure it might be possible TO get a
lower price next year IL the city repiaCeu elecIrc
arc lights with gas mantle lamps. The plan to

to Manhattan and The Bronx.
Controller Grout and Mayor Low more than
wear ago considered the advisability Of refusing
TO nav the rate demanded by the lighting trust
The Controller favored reprisal against the trust
that would bring about Investigation OF its books
in the courts. lie took the ground that the price
charged the city for gas and electric lighting was
high and that the trust would sooner lower It's
terms than show its books. When Controller Circuit
was asked about this he said:
II do not believe there is lighting company IN
the city that would dare face such an investga-
ton"

AGAINST STATE PRISON EXECUTIONS
Warden of Sing Sing Favors Separate Inst

Among his reasons Mr. johnson said was t5a.

this will be,ome necessary sooner or later. The
death cells in Sing Sing full and ~ any more
men are sentenced to death and come 10 the prison
