Some Valuable statistics have also been obtained by personal canvass, which conclusively show that the proposed company’s business will commence with a demand to the extent of at least 10,000 cubic feet per diem ; which will be a dividend-paying quantity. The Directors have several sites under their consideration, the conditions of. which are—■ suitable water frontages for shipping, with position for rCady access to consumers. ...
