PHE PROSPECTUS already issued and extensively
circulated will render it unnecessary for the projectors
of this Company to enter into details, either as to the
delinquencies of existing Companies, or of the facts es-
tablishing the absolute neccessity for forming a new Com-
pany. The Committee representing that highly useful
and influential protector of the rights of the Public the
Guardian Society for the Proteetion of Trade, having cal-
led into action the intended Company, and now, finding
it supported by the public in a manner which has satisfied
them of the puritiy of the motives of the subscribers, as
well as of their determination to prosecute the matter to a
successful have deemed it right to disconnect them-
selves, as the Committee of the
Society, from the Com-
pany, vet they, individually, give it their cordial support.
The Guardian Society have, nevertheless, secured to
themselves the power of attending, by their President or
Vice-president, at the Board of the Company, so as to
enable them at all times to watch over and protect the
public interests.

The original calculation as to the Capital was based on
the Capital of the other Companies; but it has been sat-
isfactorily shown to the projectors that there will be no
necessity for so large acaaspbiteaelnas

The Public will bear in mind that their subscribing to
this undertaking involves no unlimited responsibility, but
is confined to the extent of the shares they subscribe for.
It is true that this Town is already supplied to some
extent, and Works have, for many years, been established
for the purpose • but the population and trade have since
greatly increaed, and there is a wide field yet open for a
Company which could at all times give a regular and
steady supply of Gas at reduced prices. This is evident
from the fact of the existing Companies making repeated
applications to Parliament for enlarging their Capital and
extending their limits; the increasing demand for the
supply of Gas ; the general feeling that pervades the pub-
lic in favour of it as a preferable to any other, (a feeling
which will still take a far wider and more extensive range

well as a valuable article to enable them to conduct their
business with advantage.
The projectors, therefore, availing themselves of the
present low prices of material and labour, have resolved
on this as the proper time for establishing a Company for
the purpose of better supplying the Town.
The Committee are anxious to rely mainly on the aid
and co-operation of consumers, who, for the most part,
have no control over the existing sources of supply, and
it is necessary to point out to such parties the advantages
which they would possess by having the power in their
own hands. With this view the shares have been restric-
ted to £lO, so that they may be distributed among this
class as widely as possible.
The Projectors are confidently assured that they will be
enabled to construct works, so as to answer the purposes
contemplated, for fully one-third less than could have
been done several years ago.
The advantages to a Shareholder in such an undertak-
ing are obvious. Gas Stock, in all parts of the empire,
has been long a steady and valuable investment ; and in
no place has there been a failure where the Works were
constructed on known and approved principles.
In most of the principal towns in England and Scotland
the Stocks of the old Companies are nearly doubled in
price, some of them even more; and there has not been
any failure arising from competition, on the contrary, in
every instance, of two or more existing Companies in the
same town, the public have been better served in obtaining
purer and cheaper Gas, and all the Companies have pros-
pered.
All the preliminary a.rangements have been made, and

most eminent Gas Engineers in the Kingdom, has been

in Liverpool making the necessary surveys; and the Com-
mittee have secured the services of gentlemen of talent
and ability to prosecute the measure through all its stages
in Parliament. Arrangements are also in progress for
preparing Plans and Estimates, and finally for erecting the
Works and bringing them into operation.
