This company is formed for the purpose of supplying gas of the
best and purest quality to the inhabitants of the populous and
rapidly increasing neighbourhood of Huyton and Ruby and the
adjoining districts; and it is intended that its principles and ma-
nagement shall be strictly in conformity with the provisions of
the enactments regarding limited liability.
Gas, in addition to the advantage of cheapness, is fully ad-
mitted to he the safest, cleanest, and most convenient method
of illumination known, requiring no preparation on the part of
the consumer ; and it enhances the value of all property withi❑
the range of the mains. By a return recently inade to the
House of CAmmons, it appears that a great majority of Gas
Companies have paid dividends at the rate of 10 per cent., whilst
few have paid so little as 5 per cent. ; and, as in this company,
the most economical and efficient mode of erecting the different
works will be studied, and as they will be constructed on the
most approved principles (provision being made for their future
enlargement, if required), satisfactory returns may be expected.
The works of the company are intended to be erected on the
margin of the London and North-western Railway, thus securing
the supply of coals and all other necessary materials at the lowest
possible-cost.
The committee will have the power to make calls to meet the
payments for erecting the works, to fix the price of the gas, to
nominate or change all the officers, and generally to superintend
and manage the whole working of the company.
Applications for shares to be made in the form annexed, and
addressed to Mr. Edward Banner, solicitor, 24, North John-
street, Liverpool.
