' The gas works manager reported at last night’s Council meeting as follows: —The amount of gas manufactured for the month of February shows a slight decrease as against last month, oh the total, but an increase on lighting gas. You will notice that the unaccounted for gas is very low, which will counterbalance the high percentage of last month. So far, I have been unable to make much progress with the painting of plant. The carbonising plant is working satisfactorily.”
