Note 50 — PART XII.
Reading edition
A mile of pipe of an average diameter, laid under ground ready for conveying gas, together with taking up and making good the pavement, costs in London, about £. 1000.—And in small towns where the lights are usually less clustered together than is the case in London, and where pipes of three inches in the bore are usually sufficient, a mile of pipe complete costs about £. 700.
