the public that all orders given Ia them will be ex

that they rely upon the work done by them, as

As ii will be but short time before the gas will
be introduced, we would recommend to those desi-
rous Of lighting up at the time of the completion of
the works that they give immediate orders for pipe,
fixtures, &c, otherwise, many would be delayed be-
yond that time, it would be impossible TO supply
all applications upon short notice.
