REPLIES TO GAS SUITS.
Mr. Delony Says Courts VIII Fi1
Price of City Lighting,

Issue joined yesterday in the suits brought
against the city by the gas and electric COM
panies to recover about 100000 for municipal
lighting In 1903 and 1904. Corporation Counsel
Delany served the representatives of the cor
porations the OF the city to the companies
The answers declare that all the lighting conpa-
MES controlled owned by the Consolidated
Gas Company, which organized to, ana does
prevent competition in the manufacture, sale and
distribution of gas and electricity for lighting and
other purposes maintaining a monopoly Wltnln
this State against public policy, illegal ana void
It is alleged that the only manner in vSliCh the
market value of the lighting furnished to the city
be ascertained is by determining the cost OF
production and distribution, and adding thereto
sum sufficient to return fair profit on the money
actually invested in the business.
The prices charged by the plai ntins for electric
lighting asserted to be excessive and above the
fair and reasonable value of such service. NO con-
existed, it is stated, between the companies
and the city during the year 1906 dispute having
arisen between them as to the fair value OF the
services be rendered by the companies.
The companies said to he public servants, or
quasi pubic corporations, and as such bound 20
furnish light and lighting service to the city, ana
are entitled to only the fair value of the
same. 1t is alleged that although the city is the
largest single of electricity from the com
of that charged many private customers.
Corporation Counsel Detany said the actions
would place the city in a position to have the price
TO be charged by the gas and electric companies
fixed by the courts. The suits brought by the city
against the conduit companies to compel an ac-
counting by them and to obtain possession of the
conduits will be reached for trial in October next

runs a showroom in Union Square, was successful
in obtaining an order restraining Police CAPTAIN
Hussey from warning persons not to enter the

room. Captain Hussey said he had taken away his
men. but Dunn alleged that his business was being
destroyed.
Justice Greenbaum says mere suspicion will not
warrant the continual invasion Of q citizens prem

justified. The police, he says, may enter a place

PLEA FOR THE GAS METER
State Inspector Says 1t Is as Often

Jastrow Alexander, who is a Republican district

that the inspection of gas meters should have been
also ntrusted to city ofhCtals furthermore, ne
states that he had introduced certain bills 10 that
effect in last years and this years sessions of the
legislature, which were not acted upon. These very
bills l have denounced in most unmeasured terms
before because they were nothing else than at
tempts to obtain political graft of the worst kind
The bills called for mandatory inspection or
all meters il use at least twice year ana as
often as the Commissioner of Water Supply, Gas
and Electricity deemed proper. To effect such in
ipspectors who would have to be appointed for
that purpose by the Mayor There are over seven
