or
pany has been formed is to supply the city of Victorin, Kowloon and the Peak with the ELECTRIC LIGHT. A subsidiary object is the supply of electric motor power wherever it may be required, and negociations are now being carried on with the Government to supply the necessary power for pumping water from the Albany Tank to a reservoir or tank to be established at the Peak.
The advantages of the ELECTRIC LIGHT are so well recognised that but little need be said on the subject. It is, however, peculiarly adapted for use here on account of its being almost catirely free from heat and unaffected by wind, and also on account of its almost perfect freedoms from danger by fire.
Estimates of working expenses, cost of supply, &c., have been carefully gone into and the Directors have no doubt that the light can be. supplied at rates which will compare favourably with the price paid for gas in the Colony, while for quality, power and convenience, the light will be much superior to any other kind of lightlog.
In the estimates are included cost of sufficient engine power, plant, &c., for Electric Street lighting on the well known Are System. Negociations, with a good prospect of success, are being carried on with the Government for a contract for this purpose.
A very suitable site for the Eagine-house required for the Machinery has been purchased price." and will be made over to the Company, at cost
It is proposed to order from England at once- the necessary plant and dynames on the latest and most approved principle adopted in England and America. The London Electric Supply Company are at present engaged in installing In London a plant to supply 250,000 lights.on this principle.
The Income will of course depend much on the number of lights supplied, but as the price will be, light for light, less than gas, there can be no doubt that the electric light will be
