All applications for a supply of Gas must be made in person, or by an agent, at the office of the Company, and the applicant must accede to these Rules and sign an agreement with the Com- pany to that effect. . ^ . .. . . 2. Gas will be supplied by meter only, the register of which shall be primd facie evidence o F the quantity of Gas consumed. Should the meter cease to register, or become otherwise defective it shall, upon discovery thereof, be changed, and the quantity of Gas consumed shall be coinputed from the registration of another meter, or by reference to the c^msumption of a correspondin**- period, at the discretion of the Company. • 1 3. The meters will be provided, and kept in repair, by the Company, at the following rentals, payable qaarterly : — 2 and 3-light meters, $0.40 f> qr. 5 » I 0.50 10 ' I " 0.60 20 ' I 0.90 30 ' '( '' 1.10 45 ' n '' 1.60 50 • a <' 1.80 60 it <« 2.20 80 u " 2.80 100 Ar id upwards} ^-5^ • • The Company exercise the right to determine the position of the meter, and require the con- sumer to screw a suitable brass stop-cock on the end of the street service pipe. 4* The meters shall be inspected quarterly, or half quarterly if the Company deem it expedient, and the accounts will be I'urnished quarterly. The price of Gas shall, until further notice, be $4.00 per thousand cubic feet in ordinary locali- ties, but should application be made supplying Gas on distant streets or roads in which there are but few consumers, or in localities difficult and expensive to lay pipes, the price shall be such as to afford a reasonable return for the outlay of Capi- tal, allowance being made for condensation^ extra % I service, and other incidentals as estimated by this Company, from which there wi'^ be a discount of 35 per cent on all bills (meter rent not included) if paid at the office of the Company within four- teen days after the expiration of each quarter, i e, on the fourteenth of February, May, August and November, respectively, in each year ; but the Company reserve to themselves the right to have the accounts settled monthly, ^ they deem it re- quisite. lS the discount is made to insure prompt payment, none will be allowed, tender any ciicum- stances, on Gas bills remaining unpaid after the fourteenth of the months above nameH or such other days as the Company may appoint ; and, •in default of such payments, the supply of Gas will be discontinued until all arrears are paid. 5. The Company may, if they think fit, re- quire security for the payment of the Gas expect- ed to be consumed, or the deposit with them of a sum (according to the number of lights to be sup- plied) sufficient to secure them against loss. 6. Service pipes will be laid by the Company from the main to the inside face of the vralh of buildings situated on the line of street or road, in which the main lies, free of expense ; but, where the pipe has to extend beyond the boundary of such street or road, the extra length will be charged to the consumer. 6 7. The Company reserve to themselves the right, at any time, to out oflP the communication of the service pipe, if necessary to do so, to pro- tect themselves against loss by fraud or otherwise. 8. The junction or connection with the street service pipe of this Company ; the laying and fix- ing of the pipes, tubings, fittings and stop-cocks beyond the said service pipe, may be executed by any competent gas-fitter the consumer may choose to employ ; but such work shall be done at the exclusive cost and risk of the consumer, and the Company shall not be held responsible for the results of any defects in auch materials or work- manship, or for accidents of any kind that may take place in connection therewith. 9. Immediate notice should be given at the office of the Company, whenever there are indica- tions of a defective supply of Gas. In winter, the supply is liable to be stopped by severe weather ; and should any defect arise from the neglect of the consumer in not protecting the pipes, tubings, fittings^ and meters from the action of the cold, tha expense of restoring the same to good working order, shall be borne by the con- sumer. 10. When th«re is any smell of Gas, the stop- cock must be at once closod by the consumer, who shall forthwith cause the defect to be recti- fied, if in the interior pipes or fittings. If it be found that the escape is from pipes outside the premises, notice thereof must be immediately sent to the office of the Company. In cases of such escape of Gas, doors and windows must be opened for the admission of fresh air, and under no circumstances shall a light be allowed near the escape, as a dangerous explosion might result. Consumers will particularly note this warning, as also the special agreement in which the Gas is supplied, that this Company shall be held harmless and free from responsibility in all cases of accidents from explosion or otherwise arising from any defect in the pipes, tubings, fittings, stop-cocks or meters, beyond the end of their service pipe in the wall of the building, aiid at which point it is agreed the responsibility of the Company shall terminate. 11. The Company's officers or servants shall have the right of free access, at all times, into any premises supplied with Gas, to ascertain the quantity of Gas consumed, examine the meter or remove the same. 12. Consumers intending to remove from their premises shall give, at least, three days' notice in writing, to be sent to the Company's office, to enable the Gas to be turned off and the meter removed. The registered consumer will be held liable foi the Gas supplied and the rent of the meter until such l jtice be given. 13. Tji case of the turning off of the Gas, dis* connection of the pipes, or removal of the meter, • in consequence of non-payment of the Gas account, a charge of one dollar will be made to pay for turning on the Gas again and reconnect ■ ing the meter. ' ^ 14. Any proprietor of building or consumer of Gas will be furnished with a copy of these Rules, without charge, on application at the office of the Company. . ■ 15. The former Rules and Regulations were repealed, and the foregoing: duly approved and adopted by the Directors, at their Special Meet- ing, held at the Company's office, on Wednesday, the'sSrd April, 1873. •(■ .^ 9 schp:dule a.
