ton of the contractor. Mr. spelman, paid visit
to the Gas Works, which are now in full blast.
We were surprised, knowing the late day at. /.
which operations were commenced, to see build
ings and fixtures so substantially built, SO well
arranged and put up. Large and commodlous
generating and purifying houses nave peen
erected, substantially and permanently built, OF
brick, IN which nave been placed the most ap-
proved and perfect apparatus Tor manutacturing
and purifying the gas. A gasometer capable OF
holding twenty thousand cuoic ieet mas oeeh put
in. The tank in which the gasometer is placed
is built very substantially, having stone ana
orick WALL the space between oeins nheo oy
water lime. Water is supplied from spring on
the North Hill, being carried some elght nun
dred feet IN lead pipe.
"A very beautiful piece OF mechanism is the
meter IN the purifying house, which is intended
to measure all the gas consumed. Its not only
very useful but ornamental.
The whole apparatus when completed Will
