If that is the best that can be said in favor of the ordinance, it were a thousand times better that nothing.were attempted.

Mean while the company could charge what pleased for gas. Our objections to this ordinance can summarized thus: Council has no right, unde the constitution, to grant exclusive priv leges of this character. bad the Council the rig' to grant such exclusive privileges, th present ordinance is so fatally defectiv especially the provisions of Sec. 4, that it worthless as a legal instrument, and pow to protect the people. In passing this ordinance with sue undue haste; in refusing to publish prior to its passage, for the informatio of tho people, majority of the couno have assumed a grave responsibility, an we trust they will endeavor to unJue their error tt the next meeting.
