public lighting by 1d. per cubic foot, common gas to
2s. 5d. per 1,000 feet, and cannel gas to 3s. The price to
private consumers will remain unaltered. The difference in
the price of gas for public lighting and to private consumers
arises from tho Gas Light and Coke Company being required
by law to charge, for public purposes, the same price as is
charged to private consumers in tho District of the South
Metropolitan Gas Company, even although their profits may
not be sufficient to warrant a general reduction in price.
