c. Cavaroc, ESQ., President Barbarin Gas Lighting
Company:
Srn-I can not refrain from compmenting you
for the inv aluable service You have rendered to
families residing in the suburbs of the city, and
more Or less every night exposed to accidents
sulting from the explosion Of coal oil lamps.
Your generous aid to Messrs. Barbarin 4 Dupas
soon had the effect of removing all apprehensions
for the safety Of our families and homesteads.
The gas apparatus put up in my premises under
the supervision of Mr.. Barbarin, works admirably
since four weeks. The light is excellent, and its
great cheapness makes'it specially commendable.
In this connection permit me to congratulate yeu
on your selection Of Mr. CAST, who superintends the
laying Of the pipes. His work is admirably per-
formed.
With the earnest hope that this great improve
ment in lighting will be known by ALL and that
the results Of this enterprise will be common
surate with its many fold benefits, remain
Very respectfully. A. CASTAING.

Charles Cavaroc, ESQ, President Barbarin Gas Light
ing Company:
DEAR &R-It is with pleasure that express the
entire satisfaction which your apparatus placed in
my Oil Works on Benville street. since five weeks,
have given me.
Here enclosed you will find a detailed report,
which will show you the economy which results
from the use Of your gas.
have been able to ascertain with correctness a
saving of sixtyone and three quarters per cent ON
my gas bills paid to the New Orleans Gas Company
during last winter.
1t is but fair to observe that some of my pipes,
which. were placed several years ago, are too
small, and, notwithstanding this defect, the light
all over my works is as bright and brilliant as
heretofore. Considering the Earring caused by the
working of the machines night and day, and the
immense length of the gas pipes, consider the re.
suits obtained more than satisfactory.
Believe mt, dear sir, your obedient servant
J. ALDIGE.

During the month of December 1869, twenty four
sasburners were used; twenty three nights of work
constituted that month, and the New Orleans Gas
Company's bill amounted to $50 so. My oil works
are actually using twenty six burners, therefore
If that number had been in use last December, the
New Orleans Gas Company's bill would have been
$s3 Is instead of $50 co.
From Monday, November IA, to Monday, Novem.
Der Fl, say six regular working nights twentyeght
gallons of oil were used in the Barbarin apparatus
-2s gallons at &c. SO sot wit: per night S. 63a,
Twenty-three nights would therefore cost S37 Sc
and consequently constitute saving of $50 50 on
the New Orleans Gas Company's bill paid in De
cember, 1862
II on 500 Is there is an economy of $50 50, 500
will produce $6l 20 or 81 = per cent.
