TO SAVE $3.50 900 YEARLY.
City Contracts for Electricity and
Gas Shoe Economy.

A saving of s7s0,0o0 year has been effected
by the city IN the new contracts for electric
lighting and gas approved by the Mayor and
Commissioner Ellison and ready for execution
AS a matter of fact, no bids were made for gas
lighting, but the Stevens law fixed the maximum
price that the gas companies may charge, and
the bids made for the maintenance of the gas
lamps. plus the legal price for the gas that will
be consumed, calculated on the consumption
under the last contracts made, show the saving
After many conferences with the Edison in
terests and the Corporation Counsel, Commits
sioner Ellison succeeded in getting the COM
pany to agree TO count all the lamps in Manhat-
tan and The Bronx together. For 450 watt
lamp the price bid was 800 lamp for the first
5000 or less. with a reduction to $50 lamp
when the number reached $4,000. The city now
uses 1850 such lamps, and will pass the 5000
mark before the end Of the summer. For all
over 5000 and less than $500 the price will be
s95 lamp a year.
The greatest saving. however. is in the service
Of electric current The new price is 715 cents
per kilowatt hour and the old price was II
cents for power the old price was 10 cents and
the new price is cents. The Stevens rate is
10 cents.
In Brooklyn, where lamps of S25 watts are the
rule, the price is $50 lamp. The city agrees to
the figures, but under advice from the Corpora
ton Counsel will not contract for the supply un-
til arrangements can be made to replace the 325
power lamps with those of $50 power. The city
also demands a modification Of the rate asked by
the Brooklyn Edison (12 cents kilowatt hour)
for the incandescent lighting Of public buildings
The Commissioner holds that If the New York
Edison. of which the Brooklyn company is
subsidiary company can furnish the power at
that rate the Brochlyn company do as we'll
The price asked for the maintenance of mantle
gas lamps is s1S %, which, according to Charles
F. Lacombe. chief OF the Bureau OF Lighting
plus the necessary gas at the legal rate. would
make the cost Of each lamp s22 SO a year. The
best previous price was S24 75. The city uses
$4,000 mantle gas lamps

Recorder GOff. w. NJ. K. Olcott, counsel for Pat
rick, asked District Attorney Jerome If he was
prepared to submit afidavits answering those sub
mitted by the applicant. Mr.. Jerome said he was
not because the afidavits in support OF trial
did not give definite facts which scientific
man could base an answer. He said he first want
ed to know from the oral testimony OF the medical
experts what were the facts upon which they
based their afidavts.
Dr. Albert I. Weston, coroner's physician who is
one of the physicians making affdavits for Pat
rick, took the stand and examined as to his
ability in microscopy and pathology. He was
asked several hypothetical questions. and then Mr.
Jerome asked him what was his motive in testify
ing. DR.. Weston said he doing IL for Justice

DR. Weston said aftcEward that he not sure
he specifically told Nj Osborne this, but said that
his opinion was generally known.
