One of the existing Companies proceeds to Parliament in 'the
present Session for power to raise additional capital, and also
to borrow money on the security of their works to meet the
increasing demand for Gas ; but it must be remembered, 'that
for every pound so raised or tiorrowed, the community of Li-
verpool, as consumers of Gas, will have to pay a high dividend,
which thus bids fair, if strong efforts be not made to resist it
to Nome a tax in perpetuity.
Th objcict.of this Company is to furnish Gas to the COMM
pity at a priee which will enable every householder, of whate.
degree in life, to use it; and having received the best emir
ing advice, they proceed-for a price not exceeding 35.1000 cubic feet, against the sum of 4s. 6d. now charged by-.
existing Companies ; the dividend on capital not to exceed
per cent. As the consumption increases beyond the limited
quantity now estimated by them, the price of Gas will be,etill
further reduced.

- It -3:nay—bealsopulato stated, that from the great increase of late
p
years in the ion-of Liverpool,--an far beyond
that of any other town in the kingdom-within aincrease similar space
of time,--there is ample room for a third Company, 'without
in any way interfering-with the fair interests of the existing
Compahies.
All requisite preliminary steps have been taken to enable the
Company to prosecutetheir Bills in the approaching Seskion.
A large proportion, of the Shares being already taken, the
Share List will remain,open for only a limited time; and those
parties who were Shareholders in the old Guardian Gas Um-
