I was sorry eventually to learn from Mr. Young, in a letter dated
30th March, 1910, that the Wandsworth and Putney Gas Company
had withdrawn from the Bill, and the matter, therefore, dropped.
Miteham and Wimbledon Gas Company.
I have tested this Company's gas as usual at the testing-place
at Haydon's Road, South Wimbledon, which was
first opened on January 1st, 1908, and 1 have given,
in Table II. of this report, a complete record of the
testings made during the year ended 31st March, 1910, in connection
with which I may add the following remarks:—
Illuminating Power.
As usual the illuminating power has shown a fairly high
average, viz., 16.1 candles, the statutory limit being
It hag varied between a maximum of
17.0 candles (June 5th, 1909) and a minimum of 15.1 candles
(November 19th, 1909).
Pressure
The pressure, which is mostly rather higher than that of the
Wandsworth and Putney Gas Company, has varied
between 2.5 and 4.0 inches, with a general average
of 3.4 inches.
Sulphuretted Hydrogen.
I have not found this impurity present at any testing during
the year ended 31st March, 1910.
