Bucharest.
The Roumanian Gas-Light Company (Limited) has been
formed for acquiring and working a concession which has
been granted by the Municipality of Bucharest for the ex-
clusive right of lighting that city with ens.
The term of the conce,sion is 40 years, from the Bth
April. ; at the expiration of that period the works
will hee:aur- the property of tie' municipality on payment
of ..f4r4,le, -I to the company. A sinking fund is provided by
the' Articles of Association for replacing the original out-
law at the termination of the concession.
The-i!,t, of I:i.char,st, the capital of the Danubian
princ:paiirls.:7 is an increaFieg city: its p putation is esti-
mated by the Mayor. M. Cant ciizene. at 250,00 virEwis,
ocebpy rig about 34,000 houses. Railways are in course of
construction connecting Bucharest with the principal
continental lilies. The first line of 42 miles is now open
from fliurgevo, the nearest port on the Danube to Bu-
charest.
A site of 7} acres for the gas works, immediately ad-
joining the new railway station, has been granted by the
municipality, free of all charge.
Coals are to be admitted free from municipal dues, for.
the-exclusive purpose of the manufacture of gas.
The municipality have contracted to pay for a minimum
of 4,000 public lights at the rate of 6s. 10d. per 1,000 cubic
feet. The'quantity of gas thus contracted for is upwards
of 60 millions cubic feet per annum, and the Engineers
estimate that receipts from the public lighting alone will
pay a net profit of 31 per cent. on the total capital of the
company, after setting aside a sufficient amount to provide
for the sinking fund above referred to. The concession
further gives the right to charge to private consumers Bs.
10d. per 1,000 cubic feet. The Engineers report that from
this source of revenue a profit of over 14 per cent. may be
expectod so soon as the works are fairly established, thus
making together a profit of nearly 18 per cent. on the
capital. The estimate that the best English Coal may be
delivered on the works at a cost not exceeding 355. per
ton, and that Coke will be sold at 40s. per ton. The rates
for gas are subject to a reduction of 10 per cent. at the ex-
piration of each period of ten years during the term of the
concession.

- The estimates of cost for the erection of Works of a plain
and substantial character have been prepared by Mr. G. W.
STEVENSON, C.E. Before proceeding to make the provi-
sional contracts based thereon, these estimates were sub-
mitted to Mr. E. WOODS, C.E., who, after having investi-
gated the matter independently, reported that the same
are .reliable and moderate. The reports of these gentle-
men are appended.
Provisional contracts have been entered into by the com-
pany for the execution of the works for sums within the
estimated amounts. The businesa of the company will not
be commenced until, in the judgment of the Board, a suf-
ficient number of shares have been subscribed for.
By the Articles of Association, it is provided that the
amount payable by the ccmpany towards the preliminary
expenses is limited to £5,000.
The concession granted by the Municipality of Bucha-
rest, the plans of the works, the reports and estimates of
the Engineers, the provisional contracts and the Articles of
Association, may be inspected at the Office of the Company,
where every explanation will be given.
