Portable OIL Gas.

Mr.. BENNETT =
In complying with the request Of the pudpnc' ann
gas consumers of this city, which appeared ~ your
very highly esteemed paper, the Z" New Y DIRK ne
rald,'' of the 18th instant, s;2ned "A citizen, ine
insertion Of these few particulars, IN r GomhecuGii
with those already published on the @"'h oh' Will
greatly Obige the subscriber. ,
Mr.: CIrEEN-In compliance with your rSa"esaj
contained in this paper OF 18th inst, for yours
the public's information, will state some more OF
the particular advantages which portable OIL gas
company would have over those OF The New YORK
and Manhattan Companies OF this city. FIRST, an
act of incorporation is all that is necessary to iorm
a company, and to carry II into operation; and, as
no iavors are required of the corporation OF this
city, they cannot have any control over the com,
pany in any way; and, street mains are not used
for the conveyance OF sas, al such expense -
avoided the average cost Of which is near
$4,000 per mile and as a contract w,t n,
necessary, consequently a portable oil ea'
company cannot be compelled to lay street mains,
or to ligh, any public lamps. at sacrifice, Tor
other gas companies. The New York Company
bound by their contract to lay street mains, and
light public lamps in all and every street IN the city
south Of Grand and Canal streets, which 1t shall
please the city authorities to order, or forfeit her
| contract; and all such lamps 40 hgh,ed TO be at
| the same cost and charge the common oil lamps
now in use. The Manhattan Company receive
fifteen dollars for each lamp, and lighting the same
| from Grand to Sixth street. See document OF the
Common Council, No. AZ, March TO- 1885. And,
as portable oil gas es,abs hment is so much more
compact than those of rosin or coal, less than one
half the premises occupied by such establishments
will be ample for portable gas And also 'h ' gas
metre this very offensive machine Is not used,
the efore the rent OF 1t is saved to the consumer,
and also the unpeasantness OF that mode OF collec-
ton avoided Every person can know to irac-
or weekly, if he pleases and not one hall the ex-
pense for fixtures required for lighting as with other
gas, consequently the rent cost is reduced IN pro-
| portion. The vessel containing the gas can ne
fitted any of the gas fixtures now IN use, or can
be taken to any part of a house or building with
out difficulty; no charge whatever being made 10
the consumer for the use of such vessel or gas
holder And as there can be no restrictions what
ever, all parts of the city will be eligible TO light
with portable gas, well as HaIlem the cltes OF
mandatory, private house, that IS easy OF &C
cess by steamboat or railroad IN any part OF the
| Union; and can he conveyed with as much ease
| and safety any package OF merchandise what
ever; and the steamboat, railcar or coach, can at
| the same time be also lighted. And considering
| the advantage OF being able to light every par, OF
| this city as above stated, very great interest
would be paid on the capital expended, far beyond
that OF the other companies, the Manhattan IN par
