consumption would be the result; and although the expense of the Plant, and the requisite establishment must, at this distance from home, be far higher than a similar one, there, it must be borne in mind that Coal may probably be procurable at as low a price as Lime, and that Coal exceeds 6 shillings, even for consumption in dwellings. Thus it appears that, it would be possible to supply at a much cheaper rate than that proposed viz: light dollars for public lamps, and ten dollars for private ones as in London, a necessary article in the manufacture of Gas, is also obtainable at a cheap rate or Gas, in the Coal districts of England & Scotland, is supplied, for limited consumption in small Towns I believe at rates ranging from 4/4 to 6 shillings per thousand feet; and in London, and other large Cities where the number of lamps is considerable, it seldom or never exceeds 1 shilling per 1000 feet.
No doubt a high price must be asked for Gas in this climate, but I fear such a rate would be found altogether out of the question either to the government or private parties; a street lamp, and with the general form of burner now employed, consumes 50 cube feet per night, say 1,500 cube feet per month, equal to $4.12 for each light, independent of the Cost of lamps and posts which would have to be supplied.
