A GAS Fuscous.

At the recent annual meeting of Wandsworth, Wimbledon and Epsom District Gas Company, the shareholders promptly ratified the agreement for the amalgamation of the company with the Kingston-on-Thames Gas Company, the Chairman and Managing Director, Mr. Frank H. Jones, referring to the advantages which followed wise and prudent fusion. Among other things, he emphasised the vital importance of cheap gas. During the past year the Chairman has, at the request of his colleagues, taken over the position of Managing Director, and the appointment is one which elicited expressions of approval from the shareholders at the annual meeting.
