SALE OF GAS
A NEW BASIS.
WELLINGTON, This Day,
Power to compel gas companies to sell gas -by standard heating value, instead of by volume, as at present, is ’ taken by the Government in amending regulations just gazetted. Under these regulations the Minister of Industries and Commerce may from time to time by order in .writing require any gas company to declare the calorific value of the gas which it intends to supply, provided any company may alter the declared calorific value of its gas by giving the Minister three months’ notice in writing of its intention to make such alteration. The cost of administering the regulations is to be met by requiring every gas company to pay a levy of 12s 6d for each one million cubic feet of gas sold.—Press Assn.
