A I'lnlti nnil I'otcnt I'arloy tvllli Gun InHpcctorGllDprt , "Has the council acted upon your report port and recommendations yotl'1 was the morning salutation of a BBB reporter to gas inspector Gilbert. "Not yet , " wan the reply that accom panied a cordial shako of the hand , "Not yet , but I am sure the aldermen will at the very first opportunity , for a reform In the inanngomrnl of lighting the city Is of the greatest Importance. It means a largo amount of money saved , increased comfort and convenience to the citizens and above all it n a necessary atop to ward the economical administration of municipal affairs. Yes , the city father's cannot bo true to the interests of their constituents unless they overhaul the entire gas business. The fact la the com pany has not lived up to its contract witli the city at all. " What wa the condition of the lamps when youaasumod your oflicinl duties on the 5th of October laat ? "Dlcidodly dolapidatod" replied Mr. Gilbert. "In fact out of the , ' 100 apolo- os for street lamps in the city there was scarcely ono fit to light the respecta ble OmahoR through dipnity'a way. Ful ly three fifths were really uaolosa because of broken glass and clogged burners , the latter being the main cauao of defect. You BOO the lamp-black ao readily formed by the vapory generation from thia water gaa had completely clothed the burners making their five inch capacity loaa than three inches and in many cases shutting out all chance of illumination. The amps in mo in thia city have no ventila tion and where the pressure is the trongost there Is sure to bo a breakage of glass every time thny are lighted. 1 "lavo already shut off 275 lamps for which ; ho city waa paying and receiving of con roe 110 equivalent whatever. The city's contract with the RUB orapany expressly states that the latter must furnish the posts , put them up wherever directed by the council and provide yas lampa that cost not loss than $1 50 apiece. Instead of tomplying with thia requirement wo find hat the city itself has. been paying for ho lampa and the expense of Betting .hem them up. In fact the Omaha street amps are not gia lamps at all , but com- non coal oil lamps , arranged to act on wooden poats and would hardly bo toler ated in a well regulated village. Still the gaa company la paid ? ; ! ' ! per year for malntalng theao illumination apologias. Formerly the lamps were hardly ever iloanod , an indifferent attempt to do ao being made about once in five wooka , in reality justice would not bo ilono if the lamps were gene over every ther day. The fact IB , the present im perfect nnylo ot lamp and the inferior quality of gas furnished precludes ull poi- bibllity of keeping the glaaa clean. I have made live careful oxpcrimonto in thia matter and in every instance I found that a Ump lighted to-night would bo almost unfit for use to-morrow night on account of dirt. "How much does the city pay the gaa company for erecting the poata and fur nishing the lamps ? " "Thoy pay $22 npleco , while the ac tual ooat at thu farthest ctnnot bo more than § 10 for rach peat , $ L 50 for each 'amp and 81 50 for putting up the poatn and lamp. " "Who 1ms to ntand' the brunt of the breakage in glaaa ? " "That's tvhiU takoa tbo wind out of my sulos completely , " was the reply. \Vould you believe it , the city bos to foot the billa for all the broken glass , and give you my word that there ia a now lamp broken every night on St. Mary's avenue and the high places where the pressure ia greatest. Among my rocom- nipndatlona to the council la ono to the effect that the gaa company stand thia ox- poniu' . I nloo advised that fifty now lampa bo added to the proaent number , and that on thu principal bininosa atrcota the ogg-shaped , or boulevard similar to that in front of the oponv house , bo used , the old lumjm be lug moved to the othur wards , Thi < RO boulevard linipn will cost nuly a trill i uiuro than the old Btylo , and tlioy will ropsy the dilloronco in outlay in a very short timo.

Thia premonition , which aroao from the dangers of the first cold weather of winter , was well founded. Yesterday morning about half-past five a well-known sporting man of thia | city , upon going homo from a night with curds , saw , near the corner of Thirteenth and Farnam streets , araoko curling up from ( the roar of the cigar store occupied by Stevens Bros. , immediately in the rear < of the Commercial National Dank. Word was at once given to the police and an alarm of Gro turned in from box 42 by Oflicor Buckley. The fire when fint son by the police had gained consider able headway , the whole store being lit up by the llamca. The department upon its arrival was unable to open the noarast plug , and some time was lost in their futile eliorU. Two streams were filially turned into the burning store from Thirteenth street. Pho fire by this time had communicated with the adjoining buildings , and foara of a general conflagration in that corner en sued. A line of pipe through the alloy was next laid and a stream turned against the Duildings from their rear. Water waa also thrown through the front of the store occupied by General Frederick , which , with itn contents , waa also ablaze. After working for about ono half hour the department got the fire undercontrol , and before an hour had elapsed it was entirely oxtlnguishod. THK PLACES IIAMAQKI ) .
