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 entirely free from heat and unaffected by wind, and also on account of its almost perfect freedom 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, whils for quality, power and convenience, the light will be much superior to any other kind of lighting.

In the estimates are included cost of sufficient

engine power, plant, &c. for Electric Street lighting on the well known Are System. Negodations, with a good prospect of success, are being carried on with the Government for a.contract for this purpose.
