We charge private consumers 5s per 100 cubic feet, which is equal to about 1,000 feet of Coal Gas. Our street lamps, which vary from 35 to 75 candle-power, cost an average of £2 12s per lamp per annum. This includes payment to Lamp-lighter, who also manages the plant. No repairs of any kind in eight months, and only 2 burners replaced. No leakage of any kind in the mains. The charging and cleaning of the machine takes one and a-half hours per day.’’ WHY PAY £6,000 FOR A LIGHTING PLANT WHEN YOU CAN GET A REVENUE* PRODUCING PLANT FOR HALF THIS MONEY ?
