Of course the Interest centres in epeculation as to what amonnt of moncy 1s to be allowed to the two gan companice, and tho failure of the Cotnci! to settle the jone-dieputed controversy Monday night fe much erlticired. Ald. Waldo said yesterday that he was enrprised that the Council had not acceded to tho Gas Committes’s report and voted. $2 per 1,000 fect to the West Side Company and $1.05 per 1,000 to the North and South Side Company. He feared that the extremo wonld be reached hy the Connell in ita intense eagerness to farce the gas companice to tower terms. When the price war $3 per 1,000 fect that wan the extreme in fuvor of the corporations. Now, when tho city hetd » winning hand, tt was nonsense to force the companies ton price below Hying rates, becanee such a price could not be endured, and the result would further trouble with [itlines ond Watkin. When the city, tepresented by the Council, had eucceeded in doing what. they Had done, —securing gas at a vate cheaper than that enjoyed by any other ci the country,—ho thourht in tthe Council's duty as business tien, handitog the faire of the rity as they Would manage thelr pri- ffatra, to accept the terma which were mle neatly fair and satistactory to 80 many people. The average of the prices, $2 and $1.05 1, feet was $1.82 pee 1,000; and that was si cents per 1,000 lean than the price pald by Detroit, which heretofore had enjoyed the reputation of Retting gan cheaper than any other city,—Pittaburg, Of course, excep! ‘Thero were in tho Councit some who were ti nd of this gas question, aud desired to postpone ag long an pussible the Anat action in the matter. The gas companies wero ro- yee to bo not averse to paying for lemuslation that. favorably affected their intercete, Uf course the Alderman did not mean to ey that all thore who were working really Cer the Gia hie opinient deat inter of tho city did so intentionally. but there were some who ditl, and the others were nn- consciousiy being led around by the nose, #8 well. resning: men often had been led by deeigning con- rere, ‘The project of lighting the streets with oll hae again come forward, and the monnfacturera of gasoline famps, ctc., have begun to sprinkle their Circnlara among the Aldermen. There was at the tae pf the Gems cxpreanett desire if? ed the city oflan applican a gasoline-lamp, whic could bo thentened and Bred for for ilt- tle money, and which as far ted gave satlefacto: isnt summer and winter, and with thle Individual 2 contract would undonbdtedly have been made had the then-exiating contracts with the gas companies not prevented. ‘This patentee has again come to the front, and the Aldermen who have expressed any opinion in the matter aro Inciined to look favorably upon the new contrivance for atreet illumination. Mr. Watkins, Preaident of the South Side Gas Company, vays that hia corporation will enter into acontract to furnish the city gas for ono yea the rato of $1.05 5 thousand feet, Lower than that they will not go, THE FLOUR CONTRACT. A QUEEH WAY OF DOING nUSINRSS. Some remarks appeared In Tun Thinuxe yester- day relative to a bill for flour fnrmished by C. N. olden, Jr., tothe County Hospital, which, spon, enexamination of the facts, appear to have been unnecessarily harsh, ‘These facts, however, re- veal rather loose way of doing business on tno part of the County Board. Whenthe contracts for Sarnishing supoiles were let in January of this year, C. N. Holden, dr, was the successful competitor for the ‘job of furntaliog floor he Oeunty Hospital and tho Poor-Honso and Ineane Asyinm, — Fur the former he was to get $0 a barrel, for the latter $7.25, In (he course of a week or au after the centract had been awarded, he the documents drawn ont, together with a bond for $20,000, and went over to the County Building to et the elgnature of Mr. C. C. 1, Holden, the Prea- dent of the Huard, Mr. Molden refuscd to. slgn the contract on the ground that ho believed tho fiilee charged for the flour to be furnished to the Hospital was too high. it was hia desire, sald Mr, Holden, to avoid doing anything which should caso the taxpayers to belleve that they were being unfairly dealt with, Were itknown that azch a Pico was charged for flour, complaint would bo made, and the members of the Hoard accused of being ina Jung. He sai, how- ever, he would talk it over — wi members of the Committee on Publle Chanties, and hear what they thought of It. ‘The u} the matter was that no contract was over signed, , and cansequentiy no bond ever taken for the fuldliment of the contractor's promi There could be 10 bond taken, since THERE WAS NO CONTRACT. Ttolden, however, went on furnishing flour to the ele and the Door-House, charging and ree celving the stipulated price of £0 aud $1.25. He ‘was pald at thong rates, bntin county o1 Hat frntch, 0 sac: after carrring for @ time, he was compellet rifice at from YO to 17 cente, When there came o sudden rise In wheat and four, owing to the ontbreak of the Russjan-Turkish war, he found that be could not prpitably contigue farniahing the flour at the bricea which he had been charging. So he sent a comununication to the County Loar, in which he stated that It was itinpossibte for him to fill orders any longer at contract prices. This waa an odd way of stating it, It ts true, since there was no contract, but for some reason or other he so word- ed! his fetter, and considercd biineclf absolved from that time on from furntehing dour at the prices which he nad — previous charged. ‘The County Board, on its side, began setting ita supplies wherever i _picsead. G bought ono lot of Et barrela or 50 of tour far the Poor-House at $0.50, Holden found thts out, and, the next time that Moar was Wanted tocrs, put in a bid to furnish a lot at $3.00, and was able to securo the job, The Warden of the Hovpltal also bought of him aume flour tor which Mr, Molden charved $11.75 a burrel, ‘This porchase was made along in May, but the bili there- jor was notacted on by thu Connty Hopre ontil Alonday.; and it wav on thie bill that Tux Tumor made ifscomments, Mr, Holden saya that this lone coat hic $10.00, and that, allowing for the discount on bis county orders, what it cost him to carry the four, etc, he will make but a amall prot by the trade, {f anything, Helanot now in any sense & county contractor for flour, the county buying ite own wuppiiea from day to’ day ond week tu weok in the inarket. Why Mr. C. C, P. Holden should object to sign- ing a contract which etipulatod that the price of Hour should be $0, becuuse he fanced the public would object to it, and yet permit the contractor month aficr munth to farnivh four at $0 a barrel, te something which tise not yet been explained.
