Tho city should decline to bind itself by so one-sided on agrooment, It will bo botter to continuo to pay tho excossive prico for the two or threo years which tho present contract still has to run, if tho Gas Company cannot be mado to soo the short- sighted policy of insisting on its pound of flesh. But the only now contract that could bo made with safoty extending over any po- riod of years would bo ono containing the condition thot cither party shall have the right to abrognte it at six months’ nottco, It is not at all improbablo that long before tho expiration of ton years thero will bo now pro- cesses for the manufacturo of gas, or now de- vicos for the practicable uses of petroloum, that will supply cities with oven a better light than wo now have, and for 40 or 50 cents per 1,000 foot. . Tho samo disoursion is going on in Cin- einnnti and other oities, In Cincinnati, tho Gas Company's contract with the city ins still four years to run, but it haa proposed to reduco tho prico to $1.90 if tho city will extend tho contract six years. Thore is a strong popular opposition to paying this much, and the offer of compromiso.on theso terms will probably bo rojoctod. It is held thero that the Company can supply the gas at $1.50 por 1,000 foot ato fair profit. Everywhere the gas companies find them- selves compelled to reduce their price from 50 conta to $1, notwithstanding the monop- olics thoy onjfoy. ‘Cho reason of this is that tho improvemonts for burning petroloum oil aro co decided that it is being very widely adopted for private consumption, In tho Cincinnati Gazette ofiico, now oil-lamps aro used which have becn modeled on tho plan of what has beon known os the “ student's lamp,” aud which, o3 Mr. Rionanp Syutn, the editor of the Gazette, snys, give a better quality of light than the ordinary gas nt one-third the cost. Tho progross that has been mado in the uses of iHuminating oil dur- ing tho past few yonrs warrants tho boliof that beforo many years moro city gos-lamps may bo provided with light, better than is now given, from safe and conveniont reser- voirs attached to the post, and without any of tho costly mains and pipes that naw.meko tho cost so large. Chicagoshould ngt be pro- vonted by any long contract from avhiling it. solf of these probablo advantages. * ROBESON. Mr, Scerotary Ronzson is in trouble. Thero is no doubt about that.
