Speaking personally, I will say-that I did not come to my conclusion hur- | riedly. It is not justice to the com- mission to say that-we put through the report hurriedly, without pro- | per consideration, If we go and change the price of gas now the peo- | ple will say that we did take action { without giving the matter due con- | sideration." "There was no intention to go into the gas range issue,' said the chair- | man. "Take one thing at a time," sald | | Mr. Nickle." Your statements are not in accordance with the facts." | | Not Properly Digested. | "I repeat, that the report was not properly digested," said the chair- | man. "Let us go over the report again," | suggested Commissioner Harris. | "Let the matter stand as it is," re-| | marked the mayor. "If you go over { it again now the public will think | that you do mot know your own | mind." | "Is it the wish of the commission | | that we go into the gas range busi- | ness," asked the chairman.. Commissioner Newman moved to have the gas range business held | over, stating that perhaps there would be a protest from those affect- {ed and then the commission would have to listen to public opinion. | "Personally, I do not thing it is the | right principle," added Mr. Newman. | "We are loging track of the ques- tion," said Mr. Nickle." It is our | business to reduce the price of gas | and not our business to sell stoves. I understand that the merchants ol | not united on what they want." { The chairman still contended that | the report of the manager had not | been properly discussed. | I "I thought we went very carefully | {into the matter," said the mayor, | | "and that is the reason I voted for | { it." | Mr. Nickle wanted to know if the | commission had officially received | | any complaints over the sale of gas | | ranges and was informed "no." { "Iam here to do business as I see | | it," put in the chairman. "I have a| | right to make a complaint." "Well, if the merchants say to sell | them, then what?" asked Mr. Nickle. | "And why look for trouble?" ask- ed the mayor, Mr. Newman said he had received a complaint about the matter, "And I am only expressing my own | opinion," said the chairman. | "Why not let the merchants have floor space here if they want it," said Mr. Nickle.

Manager Folger said that in his | report he had given the figures for | gas reduction "to be considered." | The commission was free to set the | charges as they could see fit. | Mayor Angrove sald it would not | be fair to ask the manager to change | the rates, when he knew a lower rate | would mean a lpss to the plant. { Manager Folger remarked that the | | f | sale of gas was better now than at | any time in the history of the plant. | In one day twenty-one meters had | been' installed. The sale of elec- tricity was also the largest in the history of the plant. Gas Going Down, Mayor Angrove stated that as the rates had been fixed at the last meet- ing, there should be no changes made, "But the gas is going down," re- marked the- chairman. "It should be down now, and there is no rea- son why it should not be down." Mr. Nickle sald that it was not fair of the chairman to make this remark. "Then why carry a surplus over a year?" asked the chairman. "Where is the surplus?" asked Mr. Nickle. Mr. Nickle also referred to the action taken at the last meeting, when it was decided to act on the suggestion of the manager regard- ing the rates, feeling that it would not be wise to make further reduc- "I voted for the rates with my eyes open," said the mayor. "I knew what I was doing. We discussed the matter at length." "Well, if you could digest that re- port by going over it once you got me.

Newman, | report," said Commissioner Newman. | Angrove recalled the fact | that at the last meeting of the com- | { mission the report of the manager was adopted without oné dissenting | | voice. Regarding the question of the sale | of gas ranges, it was decided on mo- tion of Commissioner Nickle to ar- range for a conference with the mer- | | chants who sell gas ranges. Commissioner Nickle brought up | the question of by-laws for the com- | mission. He said that in Jan., 1923, | he had moved that the accounting department be placed under the man- the reorganization var) Hei wanted to know if this reorganiza- | tion had been completed. If so, it] was time to get at the by-laws. The | commission had promised to econo-| | mize when settled in the new offices, and it was right for the people to (ask what was being done in this re- | gard, "I have yet to see the day we need the staff we have here," said Mr. Nickle. Need House Cleaning. Manager Folger stated that he could bring in a report on the mem- bers of the staff and their duties, at the next meeting. "It is time that we stopped 'dilly- dallying' and started to do some house cleaning," said Mr. Nickle. "We have promised the public that we will economize and it is time we got at it. I am sure we are carrying more staff than we need." This matter will be dealt with at the next meeting. Arrangements have been made for a door to be placed in the new offices, directly opposite the cashier's cage and Messrs. Douglas & Mcllquham will do the job. The commission received a letter from the city clerk notifying the com- that the city' council had | agreed to make application to the Railway and Municipal Board, to commission authority to raise by debentures, the sum of $20,- 000, to cover the cost of laying gas mains during the last five years, and also to borrow the sum of $3,800, to | cover the cost of the installation of | gas mains on Rideau street, in pre- paration for the new pavement. Manager Folger explained that he had made a personal canvass of Ri- deau street, on the new section to be undertaken, and out of 48 or 60 houses, he had signed up 23 house- holders to take gas, with an estimat- ed revenue of $345 per year. There was no doubt but what there would be more customers when the gas mains were put down. Mayor Angrove assured the com- mission that the paving on Rideau | street would be carried out this year. He sald a special meeting of the council would be held to deal with the matter. -- Should Be Notified. Commissioner Nickle stated that the commission should be notified as to the streets the council intended to drop from the list for pavements in order to do the work on Rideau street, He said that the commis- sion was being criticized for what it was not doing, and he felt that they had a right to know the streets that would be dropped from the pav- ing area. The commission would be criticized for spending that money that would not be needed this year. The mere passing of the by-law did not guarantee that the paving of Ri- deau street would be undertaken this year. The by-law might be pass- ed and the paving done seven years hence. '""The council certainly intends to do the work this year," remarked Mayor Angrove, It was finally decided on motion of Commissioner Nickie, that when the commission has been advised by council that the by-law for paving Ridean street has been passed by the city council, that the commission proceed with the necessary work and that the commission ask the council to advise . the commission what streets will not be paved, in view of the paving on Rideau street, in order that the commission may not be put to unnecessary expense. When the work is undertaken on Rideau street, the commission will need more pipe and on motion of Commissioner Harris, it was decided to have the manager write to the different firms, asking for prices on pipe. The matter was left with the chairman and the manager, Commissioner Harris brought up the matter of purchasing a drill for rock cutting and his motion to have the manager secure prices on one for the next meeting was carried. It is stated that a drill would cut down the cost of labor to a minimum. Station Gas Meter, Manager Folger drew the attention of the commission to the need of a station gas metar.
