THE GAS WORKS.

A controversy, our readers will have OBJ
served. is in progress between writer in the
Enquirer, and gentleman connected with this
paper, in the local columns of the latter. We
have the satisfaction of saying, in the absence
of the gentleman alluded to, that he is sustain.
ed in his views by the very highest scientific
authority 10 this city-by an authority, indeed,
which is as high as any other in the United
States, or perhaps in the world. The position
which he assumed, in point of fact, is perfectly
supported by the known qualities of carburet'
ted hydrogen gas. 1t cannot burn but through
the agency ofthe oxygen contained in the at
mosphere, and never burns, unless as 1t mixes
with the surrounding air. Explosions occur
in coal-pits, because large quantities OF gas
have been collected in drifts not sufficiently
ventilated to take off the dangerous fluid, yet
admitting a sufficient quantity OF atmospheric
air to permit il TO burn. If burner be left
open, in close room, SO that it becomes full
of carburetted hydrogen, it will explode when
a candle is presented to it. So in the close
chambers Of coal-pit. Were the sides of
gasometer suddenly crushed in, standing in
the open air as it does, we very much doubt
whether the atmosphere would not dispense
the gas too rapidly for explosion under any
circumstances. In the meantime, gas works
have taken fire, been burnt to the ground, and
during the FIRE the gas continued to be served
out, until the gasometer was exhausted. This
we saw stated in book written on the subject
Of gas and gas lights, which we read four wears
ago, while the discussion about building the
gas works was in progress before the Council
There is no heat to which any pasome,er

AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT.

We understand from DR. Snead, of the Commit
tee on the Water Works, that proposition to build
new reservoir, much higher than the present.
for the purpose of supplying the upper part of the
city, will shortly be brought forward in the Coun
Gill; This is matter of the utmost moment to all
the inhabitants of Shockoe Hill. There should be
water enough in that quarter, as well as in the
lower part of the city to supply it most beautifully,
and there can be no doubt that the investment
would be one of the most lucrative that the city
could possibly make of the money.
The establishment of a new RESERVOIR would
produce another consequence of vast importance
to the city 1t would, SO we understand, involve
the raising of the dam to q considerable extent.
Now we have already stated, that the land lying
below the dam, for the distance of eight hundred
or thousand yards, offers sites for at least fifty
manufactures of the largest size, and that all tkat
10 wanting il the water from the dam. We stated
also that the proorieors of the land were extreme
y anxious to have 1t appropriated to that use, nay
that they were 80 much so a. to offer to sell part
to take stock In any company formed for the pur
pose, or to do anything else that might advance
that object All that Is wanting to an unlimited
supply or 3 Ii the elevation Of the dam few
feet. Tho e!sym may thus have at commend an In
sxhaustible revenue, arising from the sale Of watel
privileges The very thing which they do to give
our citizens on Shockoe Hill full supply OF water
VIII thus contribute In two-fold degree TO theil
resources. 1t win enable them to sell the watel
privileges, and to sell the water. We presume
there win be no hesitation about the matter.
