12. Mayor "Warwick affixed his signature of approval at 2 p. m. today lo the ordinance authorizing the lease or the city gas works lo the United Gas Improvement Company Tor thirty years. Tho major placed himself on record in his annual message us emphatically opposed to a lease of the gas works, and therefore felt it necessary to reconcile this opinion with his action today, by giving out a statement In which he said: "The constant complaints of our clti 7ens and the Inability to secure sufficient appropriations Tor the improvement of the plant shoula be argument enough to show that tlie works Bhpuld be leaced to an experienced responsible comuanj.

It is not a sale of the wurks, as some would liave us believe. The city does not part with ncr fraiichise. She simply leases the works to a responsible company. 1'hc lease will put money into the treasury or the city. Ihe ten years clause, winch reserves to the city the right to retake the property at the end of tnat time.

Is a aluable provision, and without it I -iiould not have considered the original proposition. "The simple business question narrows itself down to this, v.hcther or not It Is tu the advantage or the tity to continue operating the works in their prexent condition, without sufficient i-ppropriation, at a loss, or to lease them lor a term of years at a gain. It is a grave question jnyinim! wuetheroruot an-, municipality should operate any manufacturing Indus trj." The committee of citizens who are opposing the lease will make application for an Injunction tomorrow morning, and if the litigation can be prolonged beyond the date of the February election, at which fifty-seven members of city eouncils are lo be chosen, there may be an expression of public sentiment on the methods of recent legislation.
