2 And when they had assembled
themselves together, they reasoned among
themselves, and said: "Inasmuch as we
have ordained and predetermined that we
will build a great and mighty city on and
between these Hills, and that the fame
thereof. shall 20 throughout all the land
Of the city and region round about Il,
and that the city shall become noted for
all the mighty Improvements, that we
shall bring about in the city; -.
3 Il therefore behOoveth US to build
a mighty house in the midst Of tho city
for the purpose Of'msnufaoturing Gas
for the benefit Of the inhsOitRntS OF the
city.
And when they had thus reasoned
among themselves, they all agreed aGd
said within themselves ut must needs
DO 60" Aud it was even 30.
5 And after they had thus determined
10 build Gas House in their midst,
there arose some dispute among the Ru-
Ter and the Scribes.
6 And the officers Of the First Ruler
had somewhat 10 say in the matter as to
whore the mighty Gas House should be,
for the purpose Of manufacturing Gas
for the city; because forSoOth il may re.
uuire a great and vast amount Of the ar
ticle in order TO- build nj city.
Z And after many d~issentions among
themselves 10 their deliberations as to the
place of building the HOase, they agreed
among themselves, that the place thereof
should be located near BY the It Moon"
low down in the Valley Of Ill-fame, that
.lieth in the Southeastern part Of the
city. /,
8 And when they had thus agreed
among themselves, they all with one ac-
cord proclaimed aloud unto the inhabi>
tauts of the city, that they had fixed the
place in the city whore they would build
the mighty Gas House Of the city : and
when the peopIs heard the news thereof,
they raised a great shout and said -
"Great and mighty is the wisdom and
knowledge Of our Rulers"
8 And it came to pass, that in the
beginning of the building Of the city,
that the Ruler builta mighty and great
house ia the low valley in the city for
the purpose Of manufacturing Gas for
the city.
10 And the length Of the building
was about twenty CubiEs, and the width
thereof was about twelve cubits; and the
hight Of the building about eight cubits,
and the building 10 made Of hard rock
from the quarry, and partly hswed.
II And when the building was COM
pleted, there was great wonder and Pur.
prise came over the inhabitants Of the
city, on account Of the rouguess of the
building, and the peculiar shape Of the
whole building.
IL And every inhabitant Of the land
and tie region round about the city when
they visit the city, inquireth what mean
eth this and the Chief Ruler and
scribes say unto them that this isa build
ing of the city, and we have in our pru-
dence builded it low down in the Valley
of Ill,iame, and near unto the Moon"
the better to enable us to give light unto
the city. -
Is And in our wisdom we intend that
this building and all the necessary appa-
Tatus thereto, shall become the most val
liable building Of the city, for the reason
that Gas is an Indispensable article IN our
city. 2.t
IA And the Gas house remaineth low
down in the Valley Of Ill.fame near uni
to the 81 Moon" and hath been doing
much in the way Of making gas.
10 For in this Che First Chief Ruler,
and al of his officers, and even the
"Lord" and his Chief Pig Driver and all
Of His officers, and all tho hireliDgS of
the "Lord," are we'll vsrsed in the trade
Of making gas. 5'a .a.
al6 And some Of them have exeslled
and become noted men in in the profess
sion. insomuch that they have become
contributors in the way Of literary at.
tsinments, to the lever memorable paper
Of the HtLord," called the "Echo."
II And this article Of nj manufAc-
ture that is made in oar city, hath the
properties Of making all men to SEE
whithsrsoeVer they goeth, even 10 The
night season and within the limits Of the
city. W..
is And in that, some Of the work.
men should accelerate and advance be-
yopd the rest Of the workmen in thil
profession is very evident from the fac
that the inhabitants Of the city Of thii
profession are all very industrious. , ant
shat all do not possess thu. same numbeI
Of talents. Assi sia' -3h
10 For there sesmsth TO be on,
among the number Of the workmen a
this Gas House, near the II Moon,' up
ON account Of his proficiency in the ar
hath been chosen ss an officer Of th
club, which he has been pleased to cal

granted permission to call the city 'Hades,
