ABSTRACT
Electricity Works, as representing the most recent development of municipal enterprise, universally attract a large amount of attention, and on our part, no doubt, we shall plead guilty to taking an exceptional interest in these undertakings—an interest moreover that is no whit lessened as we perceive that under capable and judicious administration they are destined to achieve material and financial success of the most satisfactory nature. Such gratifying results have, we know, already been realised in not a few instances, conclusively showing that Electricity Works, as soon as they have outlived their infancy, instead of proving sources of leakage—as was at one time feared—become remunerative and even highly profitable.
