h The City of Moscow Gas Company (Limited)
cave announced that by the last communications
froth their manager at Moscow they have received
11,1 e agreeable intelligence that the first section of
,ue works, equal to the production of gas for 60,000
Iglits, has been completed, and that the lighting of
the,city Will take place on the Ist December (about
which time the Imperial family of Russia are ex-
pected in Moscow) instead of in July next year, as
stipulated by the concession. It appears that the
sength of main pipes now laid is 102 miles ; the
Private lights subscribed for up to the last advices
are upwards of 80,000, and the number is daily in-
el'asirleg• This is of course exclusive of the
beet
lamps. The directors' calculations are
Other European cities, and show that the company
ab a very early period will be earning a profit of
war°llt 15 per cent. upon the capital, and capable of
with and rapid increase. Owing to the rapidity
forward,
which the company's works have been pushed
torward, and the reserve of 10,000 shares, equal
e £250,000 capital, for distribution in Russia, have
ofil,d„ered it necessary to issue debenture obligations
'4O each, bearing interest at the rate of 8 per
cent. per annum. After the most minute investi-
gation the board believe that the works will be com-
Qpletede,ted within the original estimate. In issuing
Leenture obligations preference will be given to
to
of the company, who will be entitled
" eceive an allotment in proportion to their several
Interests.
