He cites past consolidations and stresses stockholder protection while seeking longer term national development.

First Street Gas Lamps and the Gas Light Story
A historical note on the January 24 centenary of gas lighting in England. Frederick Albert Winger lit Pall Mall on January 28 1807, following William Murdock's early experiments in Cornwall. Murdock’s gas tube idea and his lamp sketch a vivid early path to urban illumination, with Parisian Lebon and Winsor advancing public gas use. By 1810 a gas company formed and Westminster Bridge followed, spreading gas lighting nationwide.
