Tnc agstarfon against the passage
Of the bill resulted in common council
amending the measure so as TO pro-
vide fol-. a slight reduction in the price
of gas The amendment as adopted
provides that the price of gas from
the date of the lease until January 1,
1911, shall be 81 a thousand cubic feet,
the same as the present price; from
1911 to 1921, 95 cents; from 1921 to
1886. 80 cents; from 1886 to 1856, SO
cents. and thereafter until the expira-
ton of the lease in 1880, so cents.
Mayor Weaver has announced him
self as unalterably opposed to the
lease and in favor of a postponement
Of the whole question until 1907, when
the first 10 years of the present 30
years lease to the United Gas I'm
provement company expires. At that
time the city has the right to take
back the works on payment to the
gas company of the amount of money
expended in improvements. Mayer
Weaver is expected to veto the bill.
and in that event both chambers will
probably pass it over his veto. The
vote in common council was "A to 8,
and in select council 81 to 4. There is
only one Democrat in each body and
both voted against the lease. There
is some talk among citizens who
fought the lease to take the matter to
the courts.
There were two propositions, one
from the United Gas Improvement
company and the other from e. B.
Smith & Co, bankers Of this city. rep
resenting New York and Philadelphia
capitalists. In general the propositions
we're the same. The Smith bid differed
from the other in that it proposed TO
share the profits with the city at the
rate of one-third for 10 years, and one
half for the remaining Go years, and
also provided that the city could re-
duce the price of gas as the profits in
creased.

quite an extended one He is in good
health, but needs a little rest after
