" GUilah'4ll, Sept. 15, 1563."
Mr. C. YOUNG asked the medical officer if the presence
of sulphur in coal gas is injurious to health ?
Dr. LETIIEBY, in reply, said that unless the proportion
became so large as to be positively offensive an. d hurtful to
the breathing, he did not know that it was seriously injuri-
ous to health, but the products of the combustion of sulphur
are so destructive to textile fabrics, that Parliament had
decided that the amount of sulphur should not exceed 20
grains in 100 cubic feet of gas supplied to the City. (Hear.)
Dr. LETTIEBY said he had received a letter from Mr. Grays
..
the chairman of the City Gas Company, respecting the sup
ply of gas to the public lamps by that company. That
gentleman expressed regret that the supply had not been in
accordance with the provision of the act of Parliament, in
so far as related to the proportion of sulphur present in the
gas, and stated that this had arisen in consequence of the
coal which had been employed in the. manufacture of the
gas not being of such a good quality as anticipated. lie
added that a fresh supply of coal had been obtained, and
expressed a hope that the quality of the gas would now be
found to be satisfactory. He (Dr. Letheby) found by ex-
a'ninations ho had made during the last week, that the gas
supplied by the City Company had been of much better
quality, for out of the six testings made he found that in
tour of them the supply had been strictly in accordance with
the act of Parliament. (Hear, hear.)
After transacting some further business, the meeting wa4
adjourned.
