The Dorchester Gas Light Company failed to win approval for issuing 2000 shares valued at 200000 to pay debts and fund extensions. The Board urged selling unused assets, mainly real estate, and noted prior approvals had already provided funds. The petition was dismissed to pursue asset sale or other financing instead. A related note covers rate relief to fire insurers.
