CITY COUNCIL AND GAS COMPANY.
QUESTION OF MONOPOLY. h REFERRED. TO A COMMITTEE. 1 At last night's meeting of the City Council, - the Mayor (Hon. T. Vi. Hislop) moved that a s committee be set up to consider ■ tho whole , question of the Gas Company's monopoly and .- gas lighting in tho suburbs. He said that ills' formation on tho subject had been prepared. Ho thought it a pity that the matter had not iv been gone into years ago, especially in view of a certain clause in tho recent "Washing-up '' Bill," which showed what might at any time j happen. Had that-clause been passed by Parliament in its original form it would have 0 had far moro serious effects than its pro- • motors would care to admit. 1 Councillor M'Laren seconded tho motion, S , which was carried. e It was pointed out that' there was already a , standing committee on gas lighting, and the b matter was, thereforo, referred to that com- - mittee, which consists of the Mayor, and Councillors Luke, Smith, and Shirtcliffo.
