The Company's Engineer, during his stay m Dunedin, has been enabled from personal observation to arrive at accurate details of the necessary expenditure ; and it has been ascertained that the works contemplated can be completed and placed in active operation for a sum within the proposed capital of £15,000, and within a period of from three to four mouths from the time of completing the necessary preliminary arrangements. The great and permanent improvement to trade andtown property which will be realized by the establishment of this Company has been fully recognised from the fact that upwards of one-third of the capital has been subscribed within a few days; and as an early allotment of shares will take place, persons who may be desirous of becoming shareholders are requested to make application for shares" without delay, as it is confidently expected that the Share List will be filled up in the course of another week. The proposed course of. lighting will be Georgestreet, Jail-street,, Princes-street, . Jetty-street. Manse-street, the Arcade, Hope-street, and portions of Walker street, Stafford-street, Hiffh-street, Rattraystreet, and Maclnggan-street; and no doubt can exist as ttf the highly :profitable returns which will be secured from the manufacturing operations of tins Company, in proof of which it may be mentioned, that, on the main pipes of the most important and prosperous Gas Company in the Colonies there is only an average of 35 consumers to the mile of main lmd down • wherens, in Dunedin, the average will be about 100 consumers to the mile ; it may therefore be confidently anticipated that a return of £15 por cent on the capital invested will be realised,- atter ample provision has been made to provide for repairs, and all contingencies. The necessary permission to lay down pipes through the streets has already been obtained" from the Town Board ; a period of six weeks will intervene between the calls of £1 each, of which due notice will be given. .
