ART. I.-London Gas.

(1.) The General Gas Act for London, 1860. (2.) The City of London Gas Act, 1868. (3.) Reports of the Gas Referees (Parliamentary Papers). 1868–72.

No public grievance in London has ever excited such universal grumbling and such formidable complaints as the Gas Question. The gas which illuminates our streets and our dwellings has been second only to the weather in furnishing matter for conversation and complaint. Its great usefulness has been too much forgotten, while its defects have been grievously felt. It either does not give its proper amount of light, or it vitiates the atmosphere of our rooms, or blackens the ceilings, tarnishes our silver plate, or damages the textile goods in the warehouses, or it does each and all these evil things together. And then, the Gas Companies are so exorbitant and overbearing! These are the complaints which one hears at the present day, and in recent times they were much greater and better founded than they are now, besides being excited by many other hardships to the public, both as individuals and corporately, which happily have become things of the past.

Owing to this state of matters, the gas question in London (indeed also throughout the kingdom) has been the subject-matter for more bills and parliamentary committees than any other question of the kind. No trade or industry has yielded such golden harvests to lawyers. Again and again during the last eighteen years the municipal authorities of the metropolis have endeavoured to grapple with the grievance; while the Gas Companies, with their vast wealth, have on every occasion resisted vigor

ously, and by adroit management they for long foiled every attempt to place their monopoly under adequate restrictions. They have yielded nothing save under compulsion, and have strained their monopoly in a manner elsewhere unknown. During the first stage of the conflict, ending with the passing of the City of London Gas Act in 1868, upwards of £100,000 had been spent in parliamentary conflicts; and since then hardly a year has passed without a renewal of the conflict in one form or other. It is evident, however, that the long parliamentary struggle between the municipal bodies and the Gas Companies is now near its close; and although several of these Companies (viz., three of those on the south side of the Thames) have still to be brought under restrictions, not only the principle of the regulative system, but even the precise details of it, are now so fully settled by Parliament, that there cannot be any doubt as to the issue. Indeed, the Companies, as the result of their long monopoly, are now so well off that they may regard with indifference any restrictions that Parliament is likely to impose upon them. Unluckily for them, in the very hour of their triumph they are called upon to encounter, in the Electric Light, a new antagonist against which their monopoly is powerless, and the advent of which has been most enthusiastically welcomed by the public.

In this article we shall not concern ourselves with the beginnings of gas-manufacture, or even with the early history of the London Gas Companies. We deal with the present state of matters-the new régime which is being, and to a large extent has already been, imposed upon the metropolitan gas-supply. For this purpose we need not go further back than 1860, when a general
