next. The alterations and additions to the works,
which they have considered it necessary to make,
have involved an outlay of upwards of £6OO during
the past year. To meet the Increased demand, and
to facilitate the more economical working of the
business of the company, further improvements will
require to be made. The first that will engage the
attention of the directors; after the ensning winter,
will be that of proeiding another gasholder, capable
of ootttaibing from 60,000 to 80,000 cubic teet of gas; ,
this will occasion an outlay of at least £2,000; and
it will be deaireable that the shareholders
soon decide how that amount should be

be made whilst the ystem of discounts remains asat
present.
