The Mauritius Gas Company (Limited) has
just issued its prospectus. its object is the
useful one of lighting Port Louis, the capital of
the colony. The directors are highly respectable,
and three of them are already identified with the
management of gas companies, while, as further
evidence that the project is not a hasty one, a list
is given of an influential local committee, which
has been formed in Mauritius. The local municipal
council have given the company's agent assurances
of encouragement and support. The engineer's
