OASAKD LIBRARY lIEI'OKT, : The Gas and Library Conimittco's report was read. ' .' : Or Feist in moving the adoption of tho report said if. they wished to increase the output of gas they must extend tlio mains, and the Commit, tee wero agreed that it was a step in the right direction. Tho estimated cost of laying tho main to Worksop Eoad, to connect with Mr 0. Perry a house, would be about £2O, Cr Dixon seconded the motion. Cr. Hornblow moved as au amend, mont, that tho clause 'that the gas be laid on to Mr 0. Percy's house be struck out, He tlicUiofc do this from any antagonism to f>applic ; aht,kt on principle. They'll Utterly had applications for street wnps and re. fused them, and it rlghtto go to the oxmm, for ono individual. Again A would only be hitlf enough to ;<jHfcf tho two mains, The cost of the gas con. sumed bv Mr Perry would probably not nearly cover the interest on tho outlay. Cr Hessey said that by laying tho main they would also be' able to supply Mi's Young, Cr Chamberlain thought that Cr Hornblow was hardly consistent in his remarks whilo lie recently was in favour of putting up a lamp, at > the comer of Dixon .Street and Worksop Bodd, he was now objecting to the gas .being laid on X to. a ; private consumer.
