ing the Shareholders, the Consumers, and the Public, that the
works at Stepney are now very near completion, and the mains
from the works are beirv, laid. The Directors have hitherto
abstained from allotting Shares to persons of a speculative cha-
racter; nearly the whole of the Proprietors (between four and
five hundred) are consumers, and it is only just that those who
pay the rental should reap the advantage of the high rate of
interest, which the importance of the undertaking, and the
feeling in the district in favour of the Company, fully warrants

invested. It is with this feeling, therefore, that the Directors
give notice that they cannot allot any Shares after the General
Meeting in April next, except upon payment of les. per Share
premium reserving to themselves, however, the right of al-
9tting Shares at par to Consumers resident in the immediate
line of supply. The payment upon all Shares issued will be
as follows:

£l, and 10s. premium on subscribing.
£1 on the expiration of 6 months.
£1 ditto 9 ditto.
£1 ditto 12 ditto.
