Persons who wish to take the Light, may make application at the
Company's Office, Hatton-garden, where their names will be entered
numerically in a Book, and Branch-pipes laid in rotation, the Company
only contracting to fix the pipes just within the house, and to
supply the Light when the interior is fitted up, and made air-tight
and perfect, which must be done by each individual, and approved by
the Company's Engineer.
No extra charge will be made, if the Light be extinguished in a
quarter of an hour after the time contracted for, and on Saturday
evenings the Company will allow burning till twelve o'clock.
The Rents will be collected at the commencement of each Quarter, and
will be apportioned as follows: Two-thirds of the above prices for
the two winter quarters, and One-third for the two summer quarters.
If the Lights amount, by the above table, to 10 pounds per annum, a
Discount of 2.5 per cent. will be allowed; if to 20 pounds, 5 per
cent.; if to 30 pounds, 7.5 per cent.; if to 40 pounds, 10 per cent.;
and if to 50 pounds, 12.5 per cent.
