CON SUMERS' GAS, The Consumers' Gas Co., Toronto, is celebrating _jts 100th anniversary and to mark its centennial it has issued an attractive history of its first century in a little illustrated volume, which in a way is a condensed history of Toronto, then "Muddy York." It seems the Consumers' Gas took over a small company started in 1841 which produced the first gas in To- ronto and placed 12 lights on the streets, When the novelist Charles Dickens visited Toronto in 1842 he made npte of this street lighting in his "American Notes". Private homes still used candles, which they molded themselves. Toronto -and gas have both moved forward since that day. Where 'Port Perry: is interested is that among the pictures of the present Board of Directors is the portrait of Mr. F. S.
