THE LIVERPOOL GUARDIAN GAS COMPANY,
DIRECTORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS,
TITHE Directors having already advised the Share-
holders in this undertaking that the Committee on the
dill in the House of Commons had rejected it, have now to
communicate a more detailed report of the proceedings during
the progress of the Bill in Parliament, and also the further
-steps which the Committee have deemed it necessary to take,
'as well to secarre the important objects for which the Guardian
Gas Company was called into existence, as to protect the inte-
rests of the Shareholders.

A Deputation from the Directors attended in London while
the Bill was before the Committee, and spared no pains in theft
effort to bring the case of the Company to a successful issue
They were most ably supported
citor of the Company, and also

t Wrangham and

Mr. Forsyth, the counsel employed to conduct the case.
The Bill met with the:most determined opposition from the
two existing Gas Companies in Liverpool, under cover of peti-
tions professing to come from various classes of people in Li-
verpool, but which were in reality of their own getting up, and
with the sole object of protecting their own interest, regardless
of the interests of the consumers, and the general body of the
• inhabitants of Liverpool.
At

At an early stage Of the proceedings the Parliamentary Com-
mittee interrupted tilt case, and, after deliberation, directed
the existing Companies, through their counsel, o prove by one
of their own witnesses, the next day, at what rate Gas could be manufactured, supposing the entire consumption of Liverpool
Were in the hands of one Company.
the existin
On the following day such witness was brought forward by
g Companies, and gave evidence which entirely bore
pro
,out the correctness of the principle on which this Company
aceedel, namely,
that Gas could he supplied to the consumer
at considerably less price than at present charged.
The evidence of this Company was thereupon further pro-
ceeded with, but was soon again interrupt hl as before by the
Committee, who, after deliberation, passed the following reso-
lution :
" That the Comtnittee, from what they have seen so far, are
disposed to think that the object of the Bill would be better
secured by an amalgamation of the existing Companies on
terms which would be advantageous to the public, if such can
be secured, than by the formation of a tlard Company : but

L, they are pre

pared to go

The Committee adjourned to give time to the existing Com-
panies to reply to this resolution; and they-accordingly,•on the
next day of meeting, communicated their reply to the same as
follows :

" The Deputations representing the two existing Liverpool
Gas Companies have had under their consideration the resolu-
tion of the Committee of the 11th instant, and have devoted
their anxious attention to the best mode of carrying out the
views of the Committee.

" The COiiioratiOnof-Liverpool having within a short period
called upon the Companies to furnish the Watch Committee
with data to enable them to ascertain the expediency of •the
*Corporation purchasing the Cempanies, the Committee of the
latter disclosed to the Watch Committee the whole of their
affairs, and expressed their willingness to sell both under-
takings to the Corporition.
" The Deputations are at present of opinion, that the princi-
ple of amalgamation can be best carried out for the benefit of
the public by the municipal authorities of the town becoming
the purchasers of the existing Companies,.and that a legislative
amalgamation upon any other principle -can only be of very
limited benefit, and that, in fact, the greater part of the benefit
can be secured by arrangement between the two Companies.
"To illustrate this, it may be mentioned, that in order to
onomise the capital on which the profits are divisable, the
Companies have some time since arranged a division of the
borough and out-townships, by which the cost of duplicate
mains is saved, and by which the Companies are now enabled
to tender to the Watch Committee to light the public lamps at
a less price than either Company could tender to light the
whole "
" The Deputations, however, hare, since-the resolution of
the Committee, considered the subject of amalgamation as
between the two Companies, and have no doubt, that although
the several and various interests under their Acts of Parlia-
ment which would be affected thereby are complicated, and
would require much consideration in arranging the terms of
amalgamation, yet such amalgamation could be effected, and
that the several classes of Shareholders, on being satisfied of
the security of their property, would acquiesce therein. The
Deputations, however, feel that it is a subject requiring such
serious consideration, under the peculiar existing circum-
stances of both Companies, that, with the permission of the
Committee, they would postpone the question of amalgamation
lor further and.more mature deliberation.
" The Deputations have also considered the possibility of a
`Very early further reduction in the price of Gas to all consu-
mers; and they cannot lose sight of the fact which has been
proved to the Committee, that the price of ss. per 1000 cubic
feet on the first instant is a losing price on the present con-
sumption •, still, in order to meet any question of reduction o
and to prevent that ultimate detriment to the consumer
?;`l,ll' the public generally which would arise from the introduc-
tw'yy:atannt,eer:tfeCeooampatiloin,
nrdi Company on the principle of competition, (a
Rrlnciple shown by experience to be injurious in Gas and
es,)anato meet the objections-of the Corpora-
missioners of Paving and Sewerage, and the
their seven:ll4,l'es, to a third Gas Company, as expressed in
Pledge theit,,,_Petitions, the Deputations are willing, and now
next to 48 6d"nPanies, to reduce their price,on Ist January
• per 1000 cubic feet.
mat one Deputations, again adverting to the subject of amalga-
proceed 110-w assure the Committee that the Companies will
_ to consider this important question, in order to ascer-
zin i
bring about a further reduction of price ; and if this result
s
apparent, it will be both the interest and.desire of the
Companies to seek such complete amalgamation,. and further
on this point, the deputations are ready to accedelo any direc-
lions which the Committee may be pleased to convey to them."'
The Committee, after deliberation, then passed the following
esolution :
" The Committee are not prepared to decide upon the terms
upon which the amalgamation between the two Companies
•should take place; at the same time they are generally satisfied
,with the terms whichlhvaeveeNbeeent proposed in the pruned paper
read to us this day.

now been formed, which will proceed to Parliament this session
for an Act of Incorporation, your Directors have now to lay
before you their views and intentions. as detailed in the Pro-

this it need only be briefly stated here, that your Directors, in
recommending all the old Shareholders to transfer their inte-
rests to the new Company, entertain confident hopes of success
on the present occasion, and will spare no pains to bring about
that result on behalf of the Shareholders.

This Company is formed to secure a better supply of Gas
within the Borough of Liverpool, and on lower terms than that
charged by the existing Companies.
The Public of Liverpool will be aware that a Company 'under
the same title, and consisting chiefly of the same individuals,
went to Parliament in the year 1844, and again in 1845, with a
view to securing an Act for Incorporating such Company to
carry out the same objects. It is only necessary here-to state,
that while that 'Company had, in their Bill of 12345, fixed a
maximum price of 4s. per 1000 cubic feet, against a then selling
price by the existing Companies of 6s.—reduced by them to
ss. almost at the moment of the meeting of Parliament—the
Parliamentary Committee, after hearing the evidence of this
Company, and also that of the existing Companies, bound the
existing Companies, on their own offer, to reduce fheir price to
4s. 6d., notwithstanding that the evidence previously offered
by themselves showed that they were selling Gas at a ruinous
price" at ss. per 1000 cubic feet, and that no price less than
ss. sd. could save them from actual loss on the then consump.
tion.

It is 'scarcely necessary to state, that the promoters of the
Guardian Gas Company were in no way consenting parties to
gm+ a eaftlarnar, • •.

y :since nauovious must
be, ,and has been, to perpetuate a higher price of Gasresult to the
community of Liverpool than would produce a fair dividend
on the really. needful amount of capital.
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 borrowed, the community of Li-
verpool, as consumers of Gas, wii, ' hc" der

...ti nave to pay a higi. aividena,
which thus bids fair, if strong efforts be not made to resist it,
to become a tax in perpetuity.
The object of this Company is to furnish Gas to the commu
nity at a priee which will enable every householder, of whatever
degree in life, to use it; and having received the best engineer-
ing advice, they proceed for a price not exceeding 3s. Bd. per
1000 cubic feet, against the sum of 4s. 6d. now charged by the
existing Companies ; the dividend on capital not to exceed 7a
per cent. As tht consumption increases beyond the limited
quantity now estimated by them, the price of Gas will be still
further reduced.

It may be also stated, that from the. great increase of late
Years in the population of Liverpool,—an increase far beyond
that of any other town in the kingdom within a similar space
of time—there is ample room for a third Company, without
in any way interfering with the fair interests of the existing
Companies.

All requisite preliminary steps have been taken to enable tale
Company to prosecute their Bills in the approaching Session.

I might remain months in my deplorable situation.
Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might

Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted
by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was
compelled to be confined by a strait waistcoat to prevent his
committing any violence, and whose case was considered en.
tirely hopeless, I was induced to ascertain the particulars, and
being satisfied of the truth of my information, encouraged me
to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining
little hopes ofauccess, having been many years so severe a suf-
ferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam

I derived: after a few days' application the use of my limbs are
perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend Inv business,

life. To those, however severely afflicted and hopeless their
case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trial,
feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use of their
limbs, from the severe cases that have yielded to this Medicine.
Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to
hose who are deprived, none feels it so severely as the trades-
man or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and
brings ruin on families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to
make it known to those afflicted, to evince how grateful I ant
