GAS AND WATER MAINS OUTSIDE OF CITIES.
Mr. BELL, from the Special Committee thereon, retuned his bill [S. 219] introduced yesterday to authorize Gas and Water Works Companies to extend their mains not exceeding five miles beyond the corporation limits of any town or city, with a favorable report thereon.
On motion by Mr. VAN VORHIS, the Constitutional rule was set aside-yeas, 34: pays, 8, the report concurred in after the bill was read the second time by title only; they'll considered as engrossed, read the third time and passed the Senate by yeas, 43, nays, 1.
Mr. HENRY fearing the bill would cut out Companies hereafter organized, by unanimous consent the words "now organized' were stricken from the bill.
