ha The City of Moscow Gas Company (Limited)
from their
,ve announced that by the last communications
manager at Moscow they have received
jbe agreeable intelligence that the first section of
Iwe orks, equal to the production of gas for 60,000
,),ght-s has been completed, and that the lighting of
e City will take place on the Ist December (about
which time the Imperial family of Russia are ex-
Peeted in Moscow) instead of in July next year, as
length
by the concession. It appears that the
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-
creasing. This is of course exclusive of the
teet lamps. The directors' calculations are
:Led upon contracts already in action in
'uer European cities, and show that the company
a,,,a very early period will be earning a profit of
large and
per cent. upon the capital, and capable of
and rapid increase. Owing to the rapidity
with which the company's works have been pushed
to:Nvi,ar '2sdt and the reserve of 10,000 shares, equal
0,000 capital, for distribution in Russia, have
o'efndered it necessary to issue debenture obligations
Ce„,2o each, bearing interest at the rate of 8 per
cent, each,
annum. After the most minute investi-
,giatioa the board believe that the works will be corn-
-I,lted within the original estimate. In issuing
_7oenture obligations preference will be given to
Zareholders of the company, who will be entitled
1,„• ,receive an allotment in proportion to their several
-4,erects.
