The Directors of the Auckland Gas Company (Limited), have (in view of the approach of winter), had a number of tests made, for the purpose of ascertaining the value of gas as comp ared with other materials for producing1 artifi cial light; the result, which is embodied m a table given bolow, proves beyond any doubt t hat gas is considerably cheaper than either oil or candles. Gas is acknowledged to be superior to every other material as a light-giving agent; not only on account of its brilliancy and cheapness, but because it is safer, economises time and labour, and is more easily managed.
