; Public Companies. TPHE AUCKLAND GAS COMPANY J X (LIMITED) beg to call the attention of their lustomers and the public generally to the quality of he Products manufactured at their Works in Auckand. ' GAS.--They hive much pleasure in referring to the ligh standard of this article, as determined recently yy the Engineer to the City Council. Arepcrt upon he quality of the G*s, npon tests made by tie Engljeer, was brought op by the Streets Committee aad Aid before the Council, at their meeting held on the SOth rdtimo. The report stated—" The rerolt showed ;hat the quality of the gas was eqnal to 19.80 candles. 3n examination of the Company's Book (record of iests) it showed that THE GAS IN NO CASE WAS UNDER 18 CANDLES, WHICH IS A HIGH STANDARD." w COKE.—This article is now of a high class, being very free from stone and clinker to an extraordinary riegree. As their Coke is not now UaMe to fly, consumers may use it in open registers with much ple»"gOVERNORS, OR REGULATORS FOR GAS.—The — Company avail themselves of this opportunity to refer to a physical difficulty in the Supply of Gas. Coal g Gas being lighter than air, the pressure increases at the burners at the rate of about one inch per hundred feet of elevation. The most suitable preisure is less than one inch. It follows that a large proportion of the City is subject to an excess of pressure in its gas supply. The Company succeeded, about ten years since, notwithstanding most determined opposition, . in gettin.? the City Council to adopt the use of governors on the public lamps. The matter was then, as again last month, referred to a Committee of the Council who, after testing the lamps in the streets for themselves, ordered the use of tne governors to be Inserted in the contract with tie Gas Company. The In Company, In consideration of the saving from waste, w agreed to reduce the price and pnt in larger burners. The continuous use of these instruments has been provided for on each occasion of the renewal of the a] contract, to the mutual advantage of the ratepayers & and the Company. The City Council were lately led to believe from representations made to them that the use of governors caused a bad light. This charge was Investigated O last month by the Streete Committee, the Company — having at their request removed the lesnlators from some of the lamps. The Committee recommended the Council to have them replaced and retained in the - contract. The Engineer reported, after testing the gas with and without regulators—" To take off the regulators would be to reduce the light of the street j lamps ONE-THIRD from what they are at present, and to increase the consumption NEARLY • DOUBLE." * The Company have sold many hundreds of these s instruments to coneumera. for use in duelling-houses, I and have added thereby to the pleasure and prolH of 1 every customer who could be induced to adopt them, c The Company invito orders for all the articlos named. : £ t UNION STEAM SAW, MOULDING, SASH AND DOOR COMPANY (LIMITED.) i < MECHANICS' BAY FACTORY AND TIMBER ; YARD 3. .
