Applications for Shares to be addressed to the Secretary, at the Company's "egistered office, Kxmara. The rapid growth of the Town of Kumara, and the certainty that, situated as it is on the most extensive goldfield ever opened in New Zealand, it must still further extend, and maintain its position as the largest and most important inland town on the west of the ranges, renders it imperative that it should, without delay, be supplied with coal gas, both for lighting and cooking purposes. 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 thanin 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 if 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.

Ibe Promoters have secured a site for the works, had plans and estimates prepared, and procured tenders for whole of the material required; they have also registered the company and paid all fees and cosfe, 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 Dimedin, Christehnrch, Wellington, Auckland,- Gfreymonth, and Hokitika; and the present undertaking has been commenced nnder such favorable cir r cunistances, that the directors can con-, iidently recommend it as a safe and profitable investment.
