THE Gas Company's rep
propositions of the Corporation was discussed
on Wednesday, by the Council, and the

preposterous

Company's letter, as we anticipated, contained
an indignant refusal of the terms proposed.
The Directors will not allow their shares
to be converted into bonds, and why should they ?
What have the consumers to do with shares or
bonds? It makes no difference to them under
what name ten per cent. dividends are paid. The
consumer seeks cheap gas. He wants to get it at
the same price at which it is supp!ied at Bolton,
and Stockton-on-Tees, for his house ; and at the
same rate for the street lamps at which it is sup-
plied in London. To this demand the Company
reply that they have not yet discovered what effect
the late reduction in price has had on their
income, and, therefore, they think it is unreason-
able to ask them further to reduce the price at so
early a period as the Council desire.
With regard to admitting the Borough Engineer
to inspect their works, and to watch the Company's
system of manufacturing gas, the Directors give a
point blank refusal, and tell the Council to
employ their engineer i

Corporate officers to go upon their works to see

material used, or whether

and so ascertain what surplus of income to be

what loss was
