The Meters will be examined and adjusted monthly, and the Company's Officers are to have free access at all reasonable hours to examine and inspect the same together with the fittings.

The accounts will be rendered monthly, and interest at the rate of 12 per cent. will be charged on all remaining overdue beyond the expiration of the month in which they are rendered.
The account is to be paid according to the Meter's registered quantity, as the Meter is moved by the Gas itself passing through it, and cannot indicate a greater quantity of Gas consumed than the quantity so allowed to pass through it. As no deductions can be made, the Renters are solicited to watch the Index of the Meter weekly, or as may be convenient; the consumption of an Argand, Bat-wing, or Fish-tail Burner will not usually exceed 5 to 6 Cubic Feet per hour of its use.
In the event of a Meter ceasing to register, notice thereof is to be given to the Office, a new Meter will then be forwarded, and the charge made for Gas will be averaged in accordance with that made in previous months.
The Company hereby give notice that they will not be responsible for any waste of Gas arising either from neglect on the part of Consumers, or the defective state of the fittings in the interior of the building or anywhere beyond the Meter outlet.
Renters wishing to discontinue the use of Gas, must send a written notice of that effect to the Office.
In case of removal, the incoming Tenant is requested to see the Company's Receipt to the previous Tenant up to that date, or to retain the unpaid arrears in his own hands; also to give written notice to the Office of his intention to continue the Gas before he commence using it, as in the event of not doing so the new occupant will be held responsible for all accounts due by the previous Tenant.
The accounts are collected monthly, and the Engraved Receipt of the Company can only be recognized.
Upon breach of any of the above Regulations, the Company are at liberty, without previous notice, to discontinue the supply.
If, without the Gas passing through the Meter, any person should surreptitiously procure a supply, clandestinely increase it, or supply any person with Gas, such proceedings will subject the party to a Prosecution.

tear.
