the Oouaoil to the poor gas and limit?

Mr Cole said he was pleased to have
the question brought up That he had
been asked on all sidos why there was
a short supply and poor gas. The fault
was somewhere and the cause shi
Investigated.
Mr. Etnbrey was very emphatic in
his denunciations of the gas need Mad
the supply. He said it Is better t i
Olossj up the gas works thau to give the
servioe now rendered
Mr. MoOrackeu made a lengthy de?
fense of the Superintendent, uoal, ano
employees and said the quality of |ai
used was superior to that used in
Riohmond and other cities, but that
the pipes were not large enough to
furnish the pressure for the, largi
quantity of gas now consumed nmi
hence the inadtquute supply. That in
a short time the new electric light
plant would be completed and rellevi
the works of the street. Pghtiug and
we would have sotTL-lent gas. Bear
patiently, said lie, with the commuter
and all will be well In the near future.
Mr. Cole said In order to relieve the
present strain just before Christmas. "I
??ove that the lights from the street
lamp! be cut off until affeet Christmas
