Sohnffnor, Jouns, Plokering, and Miver, ‘'ho Into Acting-Mnayor, tho Ion, L. L. Bond, Mr, Farwell, Chiof Olerk In tho Comptroller's offico, and Mr. Brown, lato Gna Inapocelor, woro also thore. - Tho objoot of the meotlng waa to inveatigate tho ALLEOED PAYMENT O¥ $83,000 to the gas compnnios ovor tholr contract. Alds Hloore's rosolution on tho subjeot lnving boen voad, tho Acting-Ohatrman, Ald, SohafTnor, asked px-Acting-Mayor Bond to state what ho lnow telntive to tho mattor roforred to In the resolu~ ton, am. noNp sald that it thoro was any Afrloan in the fonco, 38 had boon suggeated by some poople, ho waut~ on to smokoe him out. The history of tho sottlo- mont with tho gay, compantes was as follows 3 Mayor Mason, flnding overything in confusion after tho firo, could get no sottloment, and sotlling until Medill'ls Adminisication, In Jwno or July of Medili's second yoar, tho Financo Com- mittco wos cnllod in by RMayor Medill to nasist in gotting n_eottlomont with (ko gas companies, LTho only queation raised was ns to the corroatnoss of the Lile, OVER-TINE. The first poiut on which tho companies and the Mayor disngrend wad on over-time in lighting, This ovor-time, with the eoxception of tlurty hours, was duo to tho fact that whon the moon shono by tho nlmanaa tho clouda mrLuouny pbscuved it, and tho comranios, thon, by the sontinet, could light the gaa or not at their dis- $ablo nttachod to tho contract showing tho hours whon the lamps shonld andshould not be lightod, it was loft to the digeration of tho compauies to light the lamps on moonlight nights if the weathor domanded it. The hours waen thoy did light tho lamps under this discrotionnry powor was called over time, but the cily was clearly hablo, under the contract, and this part of the bills was allowed. ASOTHER TOINT " was tht o gs-burnas Which would burn & fect s bour with a moter will bumn 53§ feet per hour whon thera wns & diroct connoction. The TFinanco Commitice spont » long Himo in_ oxamining this poiut, in Mr, Bond himecll dovoting twgnty days to it, ind rofused to nllow it. They said thut thia fact ¥as known to tha companies whon tho contract ~us made, and consequently thay must bo bound 3y their contract. TUE DURNER OALLED FOR. Another point was that thoe contract called for Fhat was koown 08-n commorcial five-foob burnuer,—that is, o burnar which would burn § foot por hour under a pressure of 3 inches. But ihie average presuuro in this city was found to bo 2.4 inchos, whiok:, of courso, would give a cou- siumption of mova than 6 foob per hour. But thero wero fifteen motors attached to difforent lamp-posts in the city as a test of the amount buined oo the other lamp-posts. Then taking a0 nvorage of the consumption of thowo test- nmps, and mulllpl{lug tho average amuunt by tho number of lamds, the quantity of gas burned would bo obtained. ‘'hia matter of fvo-foot burneis was simply that thoy weore givon that commoreinl brand, aud it was no gauge of the nwount actually buned. As tho test-lamps woro mndo the standard of consumption by the contrack it waa absolutely imporative to go by thom in calculat- ing tho amount of gns burned. ‘This exira amount over five foot.per hour was allowod. ALLOWANOE OF INTEREST. Anothior poiut was tho allownuco of intorast ou overduo acoounts, Tho nwonut claimed for interest was about 43,000, aud, up to Jeu, 1, 1470, interest had always beon allowod, but at that timo, under a decision of tho Bupromo Court, tho oity stopped paying it, hence tho Comitteo had only allowed interest on overdue accounts provious to that date. LIGNTING AND EXTINGUIBHING LAMPS, The Inxt itom was the charge of 114 cents per Inmp-post for lighting, extinguirhing, and oloan- 1ng tho stroet lamps, Tho contraot did not flx any sum, bu morely stipulated that-the oity ehould pay the compnuies *‘a reasounblo com- ponsation” for {his work, Tho compauies showed the Committeo that it actuslly cost thom 194 ceuts per lamp, and the Committco thorefore rllowed their chinrge of 13¢ conts, THE SETTLEMENT. Mayor Medill had made a proposition of sottle~ 1ent to the cumpavies, in whioh he had lheld Lot a fiva-foot burnor' forced the compativs to clinrge for only five fent por hour, mo mattor what the pressure was nor how much the burnor nctunlly consumed, Ho bud allowed some othar thiugs, bowever. 8o that tho wottlement was in fact nbout $2,000 less than what Medill had of- ferea to sottlo for, The nverago prossura of 2.4 was necossary to supply consumors at o distavce from the works with enough gas, On Investigating tho condi- tion of New Yorlk, Boaton, and Philadolphia Jumps, howevor, it waa found that in thoso citics . thio prossure was oven highor than here, 8o that our gas was bottor mauaged than theirs, MR, FARWELL snid that he knew nothiog of this 83,000, All Lio kaow was that tho Oom&)uuion had never baon paid mora than their billa, They bad beeu eroditod with only 1 cont per Ivmp for lighting, etc., until the settlement was made, whon they were sllowed an ondditional amount of 35 cont por Ismp. DPievious to Jan, 1, 1870, iho Companfes . had boon allowad interest on doferred payments, but, at thnt date, the Suprome Court gavea decision that the mt{ wau not required to pay interest un- less epecial agreomout hiad boon made to do so. Aftor that dato tho aity ceased paying intorest on overdue sccounts. Io kuew of no payments mado outsido of the Companios’ bills, nor be- youd the amounts called for by tho contract. AR, BROWN eaid that he knew of no payment made outaida nf the contruct. Ho had flfurud upou tho bilig of the Compnuies, and had found them corroct, o had Lieard Corporatiou-Oounsel Tuloy teil the Finance Commuttce thut there was no way for the city to avoil paying thoso bills, The only quexss tion was whethor tho lamps had actuaily burned tho amount of gns chargoed, and whether the city was bound by the contract to pay the actual amouut burnad, or ouly ot the rate of 5 feot or our for aach lam, Ho decided that the st-lumps woro mede, by tho contract, tho Lasis of dotermining tho amount bumed,’ and houce the city was bound to pay on that basis, ALD. SCHAFFNER'S BTATEMENT. The wholo r}lmfllim} was then sot out by Ald. Bchnffuer ay follows; Tho gas buraers wero intonded to bwn 5 foob por hour uuder a proseure of 2 inchos, but under a Ligher ve sure thoy really burned noarly 6 foet, and his notual cousumption was shown by the test- Jamps,—also tho amount of gas which was act- ul.yburned on nights when tho moon ought to hisve shono but did not was greater than it ought to have Dbeen according to ihe timo-tablo, Theso two amounts in ©xcess of tho suppared consumption sggrogated 23,000,000 oubic feet on the bills, ‘The contract i not say that ench burner should burn b fect yor hour, but that the burner_ * known na the 6+ foot burnor " should bo used, The mauuer of obtaining the smount burned wan by the tost- Inmps, and, ag thoy had a prossure of ovor tho standurd 2 inches, the cousumption waa nearly 6 fest por hour. These two differences, end the allowanco of interest on some of tho Lack accounts, was probably what was mennt by the statoment that the Compnnies had been paid 883,000 moro than their contract called for. On tho contrary, ko far zs tho tostimony thoy had just "henrd wont, and it seomod conclusive, "tho city had got out of the sottlomont very well, and, 60 for from paying mora than shiould have been paid, the oity, by holdiny strictly to the contract, hnd escaped ny- ing Pmt of what, in equity, was due to tEo om= panics. MONE: TIME WANTED, This opinion wau convnrred in by a1l the mem- bors of the Gne-Light Committas ; but, Iu order 10 gt furthor informution, if possible, {ho Cotne anitteo agreed to roqueet further time to report, A meoting wos then appointed for Monday aftor noon next, and il the gontlemen who had sttonded to givo information were roquested to bo presont. "It wan decided to invite Mayor Col- vin agaln, and also Ald. Moore, who introduoed the resalution. Tho prosent Gas-Tnspector statod that, at tho present time, with the pressuro noceesary to supply distant consumers, the con- Aumption, na shiown by the tost-metres, was be- twaen 6 and 7 faot per honr.
