lTWe informed that the Indianapolis Gas Light
and Coke Company have made contract, with Mr..
Lockwood who in this city, by which he obigates
himself to commence the building of the Gas Works so
soon the sum of $50 900 is subscribed by citizens
As the stock in this Company cannot fail to be very
profitable, think there be little doubt that this
amount will be readily subscribed. We understand
that the stock of the Gas Light Companies of Dayton
Columbus, and other places, in the West where the
works have been put opefaton under the supernten
dencc of Mr.. Lockwood, pays from fifteen to twenty-five
per annually. No doubt that the stock in
the Company here will pay equally well.
The books for receiving subscriptions open at the
Drug Store of Mr. Hannaman, of the directors of
the Company Cur citizens will also called upon by
of the directors during the present week and an op
portunty given them take stock. We hope to see
