I'm England, under a careful and eff
fective long-standing system OF regUla-
ton OF both municipal and private gas
plants, such regulation limits the
average profits Of the private companies
TO 10 per cent per annCm upon the paid
up capital, which provisions have been
made effective by carefully guarding
against the evasion OF the laws by re-
curing annual statements of accounts IN
approved form. Such intelligent reguIa-
tlOr has permitted gas 10 be sold at
Lancaster and Bury at shilllngs as SIS
cents per thousand, and in some
smaller communities at even a less rate.
The average rate throughout the
United Kingdom is 81 LILO cents by mu-

law passed a little over a year ago,
