Moscow Ma hitherto been dependent for artificial light upon
portable gas, Maarten( candlea, and petroleum oil. The costli-
ness of these articles and other disadvantages connected with
the Imperfect lighting thus obtained are such as to render any
tompetitiou with ordinary me Impossible.
The conoeudon which has been enured to this Company ore-
fen an exeinalve privilege for 30 years ; at the end of that period
the works will either remain the property of the Company
perpetuity without special monopoly: or the municipality may
elect to purchase them at a sum equivalent to the rutin net
preen of the yearlong ten years or to extend Me concession,
with exclusive privileges for a further period of ten years. In
this latter cage the worn would revert to the city at the and of
fort years, mime fresh men' shall have bean made for
coetiy oning the hugeness in the of the Company. A ank-
h/Ird will be provided to meet these contingencies.
Caner deg Charges allows the COni,nny to charge 5 silver
roubles (equivalent at the present exceptionally low rate SI ex-
change to thirteen &hilltop, and to Mien shillings end ten-
pence at the par of exchange; per 1,000 cubic feet of gas foe all
private lights. The street lights will be paid for at the price of
14.50 silver roubles per light burning 10,n00 cubic feet during
the year, and at the game rats for any further quantity which
may be required, with an illuminating power which need not
exceed 12 minim. AB the lamps of the government and moat-
civil buildings are to pay the same price ag the private lights,
viz., 5 silver roubles per 1,000 cubic feet of gas.
A provisional contract has been entered into with Smith,
Knight, and Co. (Limited% for works capable of supplying
110,000 lights together with the whole of the mains of e city
(upwards of 110 miles in length) adapted to the entire prospective
oonsumptioa. The net preen upon the apnea required for
this purpose are calculated to exceed 10 per cent. per annum,
and in this estimate no profit whatever is assumed on the public
works will be Ind ont with a new to the supply of 10,000
street lights, and upwards of 100,000 private lights. and as soon
as the Company can meet the demand to thls *nest, the net
profits are calculated to exceed the above rats. To show the
this estimate is by no means exaggerat-d, reference may be
road* to the profits of other gag eampani.e possessing exclusive
privileges on the continent ; amongst oth•n, the gas works at
the Hague have paid for many yearn 25 per cent. per annum,
sod the Paris Gas Company is at the present time plying
dlvl-
eeeds above 20 per cent. per annum.
Sufficient plant will be erected for the supply of 50.000 lights
by the end of August in nail year, from which date a large net
revenue will be received.
Power will be taken to borrow a portion of the capital on de-
bentures, by which means the profit. divisible amongst the
shareboltien may probably rise to a higher *run than that
already lottleat.
tillers have been received teethe parchase of all the gob and
far produced. et prices which will bring 'town the net coat of
the coal carbonised to a point which contrasts favourably with
the gaeworks of mono' the large cities on the oorginent.
Interest at the rate of 7 went. per annum will be paid half-
yeerty, on the capital, during construction.
The outlay for plans, estimates, engineering, travelling ex-
panse and other preliminary charges, will be borne by this Com-
pany. The proprietors of the concession have such confidence in
the complete success of the undertaking, that they have agreed
to truster all their rights and adnoteges to this Company, in
consideration of receiving, in lieu of any present payment, ono
hall of the net prong of each year after 10 per cent. shall have
been earned on the total paid.up capital of the Company.

tions for the remaining shares will be received by the Agra and
