governor 10 regulate the speed Of the On;
I ine, pressure and vacuum gauge, and
connections Of 10 inches in diameter 70
fully complete the same. It Is necessary
TO have one fan exhauster) 70, reduce the
back pressure on clay fetorts, prevent
them from choking with carbon, thus rem.
dering their capacity greater, theduradon
OF the rctorts longer, and giving you an
Increase Of yield Of gas from your coal Of
Of least 10 per cent, By having an ex.
hauster you can have your gasholder
TO give more pressure, thus increasing
your distributing capacity.
G0DerTOr-I would also recommend the
addition TO the works Of one governor to
regulate the flow. Of gas and TO prevent
any undue pressure In the gas mains, and
thus prevent the loss Of gas In the burn.
Ing OF tho street lamps after the private
consumers cease burning. ''- .''..
Street MdinS-In street mains, I would
recommend the laying Of one line Of
10.inch diameter main pipe, extending
from the new gasholder TO Filth street;
on alley TO Clay; on Clay 10 Market; on
Market TO Mcclure House; from Mcclure
House, on Market, two or three squares,
with 8.inch pipe, and then 10 Bridge with
D.inch main pipe.
On Clay street, leaving branches atthe
intersection OF each street, one OF which,
an 8.inch branch, to cross the iron bridge
with 8.inch main TO the second street, and
then continue a line Of 0inch main as
may be needed for future consumption,
connecting the pipes from both the iron
and stone bridges at favorable points on
the line; also, leaving branches In the
line OF 10, 8 and 8.inch mains on Market
street at tho intersection OF each street,
for increasing the flow or gas as may be
necessary In making connections 10 meet
present and future wants of consumers.
To my remarks respecting the genera.
ting apparatus l would add that, although
you may be able to get along another
year, yet would recommend that you at
once build new retort house, Tor say 10
benches of retorts each, and in making
an addition of two new benches this sea-
son to have them completed in the new
house, and afterwards to have new ones
added as the benches in the old house
need renewing Permit me also TO repeat
what have said before, viz; that as
soon as you have your works and main
pipes in flrSt.rate condition 10 supply all
the gas needed, your consumption will
be largely increased and 1t would be wise
to provide for the future wants at an carly
day, aa4fiH az .E!- .i7s
