The rapid growth of the Town of Kumata,’andthq fprtainty that, situated as it is on the most extensive goldfield • ever opened in New Zealand, it must atjUl further qxtpnd, and maintain its, pbsitibfi W the ‘largest arid radstimportant 'inland town’on the west of the .; •ranges^ 7 renders it imperative that it shouldv without delay, be supplied with’ cdal gas, both 1 for lighting and cooking 1 purposes. ' “ ,■ 'The. advantages; of gas are too' well Jknoiwn to require comment j and ’it is only necessary c to, point out' that Kumara is especially adapted for'the . economical establishment and maintenance of gas wqrks. 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 tbe 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 fbrty-eight hotels, the proprietors of ‘ which 1 -have expressed their intention to use gas as soon as it can be supplied. Carefully prepared estimates show that, taking the selling price of the gas at 20s. per 1000 feet, the, profit would be 38 per cent, on the capital to be expended.' ~, . , * v : > !

Auckland* Greymouth, and Hokitika; . and the present undertaking has-been commenced under such favorable circumstances,’that the: directors- can con-fidently-recommend it as . a safe and profitable investment. • ,
