MUTUAL GAS COMPANY
[Welland Telegraph, 23 January 1891]
The imprisoned tools in the Mutual Gas Company’s well were released on Saturday night, and drilling is once more in progress at a depth of about 600 feet. The company have been subjected to so many annoying delays, that now they can hardly say when the product of their well will be ready for use. It is hoped, however, that no further delays will occur.
Negotiations for the purchase for the Hopkins & McGlashan gas well, by the Mutual gas Company have been in progress for some time, but up to date no deal has been accomplished, and the probability is that no deal will be made. Cheap gas for consumers will undoubtedly be the result, and offers at very low rates are being made. It is somewhat of a pity some arrangements cannot be made, as cut prices will mean loss of money to both parties.
The initial meeting of the new council was held in the town hall on Monday evening, the members taking the declaration of qualification and office. There was not a great deal of business before the board, other than passing a few accounts and making appointments. The reeve appointed Mr. S. Mouck his auditor, and the council named Mr. M. Gordon. A new board of health consisted of Messrs. A.K. Scholfield, Geo. Mathews and David Wilcox was appointed, and the council adjourned after naming the first Tuesday in the month for the regular monthly meetings.
