GAS TAOIST AND COKE RESULTS.

Once again the dividend declared by the Gas Light and Coke Company is a good one, the distribution for the first halt of the year being at the rate of £5 12s. per cent. per annum on the Ordinary. This is the same as for the second half of last year, and makes the highest distribution for any period of one year since the War. It is the more satisfactory to note that the company is in a position to make this increased distribution in view of the announcement which has recently been made by the company, in conjunction with the. Post Office, with regard to the question of compensation to be paid by the company to those who suffered by the Holborn explosion.
