Mr. louder moved to amend, sabatituting tl 50 for 1 75. Mr. rrtzeerald said that Wis ordinance eonid not be said to have originated with the Gas Company, for it originated with Council, and it was a compromise It was the height of alurdity to say that Council had the right to fix the price of gas without the consent of the Gas Company. That had been well decided.

He did not say bow had been decided. We will sav it for him. Her it ia The (las Com nan about ten rears aim denied that Council had any nch right The dty went to the Supreme Court and rot a decision that the city has precisely that right not only for the pnMie ouiioinax, nut ror ine ciliren. i nose wno ae-ire to the record of trmt case can find it iu the 18th Ohio State reports set forth In fulL KEASOMIKO. Mr.

Ffl zee raid said, -Let reason Tike sensible men. The present contract ha three years to run. If we do not tnke the reduction of the price to tn consumers to 31 oa -A, we shall nave to pay the present price ior three years longer, and alter that time nntil counuil shall fix the price. We should )9B all this three years' good. It did not shut out cnmpe-Uon, tnii coutract did not could hav acouipeung com pany.

Tha Gas Company, iu oneriug to sell for 11 90 net, believed it waa reduciug sufficiently to meet the public demand for reduction. 'Toil can't dictate to the Gas Company what they shall clianro for The power of Council to fx the price is to public building." Mr. 3itxrrria nexe -Ued vaguely that the Conover contract bound the cilv to take ca a oi Uie Gaa Company exdu ively until tn city so ouia buy ui lm v.rk, aud that could not be dec ted by action of Connil. Mr. Fitxgcrald said that with the exception of Pitt-burs every city ul America was eliargiug more for gas than Cincinnati is offering to charge.

It was nonaensa Ior any body bat an expert to talk a bo-1 what it cost to make It would be useless to talk about any bsure iee than bv the Gaa Corauauv. li aaut further, why not red nee the price and give the people the Decent bow I vtoat a Ml ranee have you that la three years you will get gas lower in two years. Consumers have de manded the price of gaa be reduced in an lm-rjaeiwe pulitioi- Th reduction would save OOl- sun Mint ball a nullum aouars in tnree years. A rPUCH A L- BRIAT-IKO WITH POINTS. Mr.

8addlcr said that he dkl not reenrd it the Erovlnce of U11 Council to tinker with the exlst-ig attract, aud because we could do much better when the present (three year to run) contract expired. Be wasted cheap eas, out tnougnt wiuie we were looking amuud for cheap gas we should be a little careful, to look a little beyond the present especially when a tea-years' en tract was involved. Now, he wanted the Gas Company to have a fair prolit A busiiHcw man thought he did well when be doubled his capital in twelve yeara. AiKiut eleven years ago uie stock 01 the Cincinnati Gas Company was put by the Company at Iv.tXOou. few it was put at four times that amount Iu Pittsburg a Company was furnishing the city -uno at sevenly-hve cents per 1.000 and citisrrja at II 25.

As to the citv surrender-in uf the stock of that Cempsny to the CouiDairy, General Hicken- loojier nad 01111 tied to state tne tact tnat tne company was bound. In lieu of that stock, to furnL-h th city feet of gas ahntially free, and fiirnith lamp at seventy-nv cent. It only cxi bontone cent a bo.hel tn bring coal from Piru-burg. He bad these facta Irum the Pittsburg buad-ness men. HOOA! FOR LOW GAS.

Mr. wan taid that he had ronfiiiltedeitizens in his ward and found that they would support him In a proposition to contract for ten years at II 75, with ft per cent ofT, which wonld be tl fH et ho would vole ior tnat proposition, ior ne was in favor of cheap gns rhcht awsy. cvr i dan woi.r. Mr. Wolf was in favor of cheaper ras riirht awar.

This offer would save the people if a mil lion dollars in ftie three years the con tract has to run. This was a consideration not to be despised.
