BROKERS : N. W. Massey ; Lyle and TottoxV. 1. This Company is formed for the purpose of providing th« means of lighting the Towns of Shortlaud aud Graham's Town with Gas, and thus supplying a want much felt in both townships. 2. The Directors have been promised an admirable site for the proposed works, close to ihe beach, midway between the two townships ; where, by running out an it^xpenmve wharf, the delivery of plant, coals, ko., can be secured at the very lowest ratep, 3. It is reasonable to suppose that, from the unexampled develepment of this dititrict since ita opening as a goldnVd, the present detached townships will evHutually become one city requiring, as it advances in prosperity, all the aid of modern civilisation for the benefit of its inhabitants. 4. The Directors therefore propose raising a larger capital thau would suffice for the supply of Gas to the preseut population, in order that they may be enabled to meet the increased demand caused by increasing cousumers. 5. In addition to the large income which may be reasonably expected from the supply of Gas to business houses, a further source of profit may be expected from public lights, which will most likely be erected aa soon as a supply of Gas can be relied on. The eale of coke will also, it is presumed, be very large, that fuei being so well adapted for steam purposes.
