The advantages of gas are too well known to require comment, and it is only necessary to point out that ’ Kumara is especially adapted for the . economical establishment and maintenance of gas works. Its vicinity to the Grey Coalfields, combined with the facilities which will be afforded by the tramway now being constructed, will enable coal to be delivered at the works at a lower rate than in any other town in New Zealand, Greymouth excepted. Whilst the site chosen for the works, and the position of the places of business in the town, will enable the mains to be laid with great ease and economy. The consumption will, without doubt, be large, there being amongst other houses and buildings, no less than , forty-eight hotels, the proprietors of which have expressed their intention to use gas as soon as it can he supplied. ‘ Carefully prepared estimates show that,- taking the selling price of the 0 gas; at 20s. per 1000 feet, the profit would be 38 per cent, on the capital to be expended. The Promoters have secured a site for the works, had plans and estimates prepared, and procured tenders for the whole of the material required; they have also registered the company and paid all fees and costs, for which they have accepted 90 paid-up shares. Gasworks have always proved highly remunerative, as instances of which may be quoted those established in .Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, Auckland, Greymouth, and Hokitika; • ; arid the present undertaking has been commenced under such favorable circumstances, that the directors can oon- , r ff<lently recommend it as a safe and profitable investment. *‘Ja there no hope ?. the sick man said ; The silent doctor shook his head.” u While there is life there’s hope, he cried.” “iEgroto, dum anima est, spes eat.” DR.
