Portable OIL Gas.

In complying with the request Of the public, and
gas consumers of this city, which appeared IN your
very highly esteemed paper the " New YORK ne
raid" of the 10Th instant s;gned "A Citizen,' the
insertion of these few particulars, IN eonnecuoi,
with those already published tie lo'i ul'', VIII
greatly oblge the subscriber.
Mr.. CITHEN--In compliance with your r~a"es',
contained in this paper OF 26lh inst for yours IA
the pnbllc's information, Will state some more OF
the particular advantages which a portable oil gas
company would have those of the New York
and Manhattan Companies of this city. First, an
act OF incorporation is all that is necessary to ioIm
company, and to carry 1t into operation; and, as
no tavors are required of the corporation OF thls
city, they cannot have any control over the com,
pany in any way; and, as street mains are not used
for the conveyance of sas, all such expense IS
avoided VOID the average cost OF which is nes s,,
the Common Councils of this city - not
necessary, consequently a portable oil eaa
company cannot be compelled to lay street mains,
or to light any public lamps, at sacrifice, Tor
their accommodation, as is the case. with the
other gas companies. The New York Company
bound by their contract lay street mains, and
gt pueic lamps IN a. ana every srse. IN ne cry,
the same cost and charge the common oil lamps
now in 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 IL, 1895. And,
as portable oil gas establishment is 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 the gas
metre this very offensive machine, is not used
Therefore 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 rac-
ton the cost of his lights before he begins, or daily
or weekly, II he peases; and not one halt the eX-
pense for fixtures required for lighting as with other
gas, consequently the rent or cost is reduced IN pro-
portion The vessel containing the gas can he
fitted to any OF the gas fixtures now IN use or can
be taken TO any part of a house or building with
out difficulty; charge whatever being made TO
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 10 light
with portable gas, as well as Han lem, the cities OF
| Brooklyn and Jersey, or any other city or place;
| mandatory, or private house, that Is easy OF ac-
cess by steamboat or railroad, in any part OF the
| Union; and can be conveyed with as much ease
and safety as any package of merchandise what
ever; and the steamboat, railcar, or coach can az
the same time be also lighted. And considering
the advantage OF being able to light every part OF
this city as above stated, a very great interest
would be paid on the capital expended, tar beyond
that OF the other companies, the Manhattan In par
