THE LOCAL GAS COMPANY

[Welland Telegraph, 20 March 1891]

A meeting of the directors of the Welland Natural Gas Company was held on Monday evening, and a contract with Messrs. Carmody Bros. to drill the well in Welland was ratified. No contract between the company and Mr. Cameron existed, he had merely agreed by letter to do certain things, but the company had not given its official acceptance, and owing to various circumstances they deemed it in the best interest of the stockholders to make a contract with Carmody Bros. who are just now finishing a well in Humberstone. The have a contract with the Mutual Company of Port Colborne, to put down a well immediately, and as soon as that is finished work in Welland will be commenced. There is a possibility, however, that work may be commenced sooner, as this drilling firm is contemplating getting another set of drilling tools, and should they do so they will commence work here a little earlier than the time specified in the agreement.
