Kingston municipality took over the Kingston Gas Light works on municipal account with a ceiling rate of one dollar per thousand cubic feet, reduced by a cent. The takeover date was July 17. Through April 18 the works ran behind schedule, costing about £1,000 in charges, with the year’s total expected near a large sum. Output exceeds 12,100,000 cubic feet for twelve months.
