The prospectus of the Malta and Mediterranean
Gas Company (Limited) is issued. The object Cli
this undertaking is to introduce gas into various
towns in the islands, or on the shores of dre
Mediterranean. In the first instance, it is pro-
posed to purchase the gas works
_machinery, and
mains erected in 1856 at Valetta, Malta. The prise
to be paid for them is 24,0001, which is stated to
be considerably below the actual cost. It is a
favourable feature that, of the purchase money,
14,0001. is to be paid in shares, which are
to receive no dividend until 6 per cont
shall have been paid upon the remaining capita.
It is further provided that, so soon as for two con-
secutive years 6 per cent. shall have been paid upon
the whole capital fur the time being, including the
14,0001., the distinction between the two dames 011
shares is to cease. The proposed extensious of the
works are estimated to require a further expendi-
ture of 19,0001. The capital is tired at 60,00v1.,
in shares of 5/. each.
