day Was the anniversary of the intro
ductiou Of gas into Westminster. The
company started with sixty one consum.
ers, which will be increased in few
days to ninety two, sufficient to pay
handsome dividend From the FIRST the
Company have met with considerable
difficulty but it is now established on !,
thoroughly firm foundation. To the
untlring energy of its President, John
H. Relisnlder, Esqsihe citizens are in
debted for the supsfier quality of gas
manufactured, as he has given il his
almost undivided attention. Persons
residing here who have heretofore lived
in large cities unite in pronouncing il
superior to the gas manufactured else
where, while the reasonable price a,
which it is furnished places il within
reach of all. Whilst our city has been
almost entirely free from accidents from
coal oil, yet there is large amount still
used, aud before another wear rolls
round we hope to be able to announce
that not one pint of it is used within
the city limits. Last week we publish
ed the death ola young lady in Hanover
from the use Of coal oil, aud though the
accident was caused by carelessuess
yet even with careful persons the mos
disastrous consequences have arisen.
The lamps used by the city, forty
two in number. are not included in the
number ofconsumers above mentioned
and the cost to the city for gas uset
and lighting the same has only been
S434 GO, for the past year, which i.
considerably less than was paid for co a
oil, while the gas affords more brillian
light.
