to tend will be found to apply to every general
bill which may be introduced without the concur-
rence of the companies for the regulation of their
present monopoly. But it will always be in the
power of Parliament to prescribe terms of regula-
tion as each company, comes before it to apply for
new powers, and the necessity for new powers has
usually brought the companies to Parliament at uo
long intervals of time. Your committee, however,
do not think it would be just to the consumer to
leave him to the casualties of this mode of remedy,
and recommend that, if the companies decline to
tubmit to general regulations, such as Parliament
Imay consider reasonable, measures should be taken
for the introduction of.a new supply in independent
hands. - .

" It seems to your committee that the consumer
cannot rely upon the probable introduction of new
companies in competition with the powerful organisa-
tion whose existence has been confirmed by the Act
of 1860 ; and that if the consent of the companies
to a proper amendment of that act cannot be ob-
tained, the proper remedy will be for Parliament
to concede to the city of London, the Metropolitan
Board of Works, or other local authorities of the
respective districts, the power of supplying' those
districts in the manner in which the Corporation of
Manchester supplies that city and the surrounding
neighbourhood.
" Your committee consider that the main cause

of the failure of legislation, which has thus taken
place in the present year, has been the absence of
any bills autborising,.,tho establiehment of an•inde—
pendent supply of gas in the hands of the local
authorities. They recommend that unless terms
satisfactory for tho consumer can be arranged with
`the,companies, the, Board of Trade should abstain
from, the introduction of any other measure like•the
Metropolis Gas Bill, 1867. Unless the companies
are prepared during the recess to consent to such an
arrangement, your committee think that every
facility should be afforded to the local authorities
of the metropolis in the session of 1868 for the in-
troduction of an independent supply."
