Efiior Tsigroph-I See by remarks In your
last issue, IN regard 10 The matter Of putting
gas Into my house. the impression has gone
out that II is n similar apparatus 10 those in
Cleveland aud other places, that have blown
up with damage and destruction 10 property
and life.
Allow me 10 say that II ~ nothing Of this
kind
The apparatus have for manufacturing
gas Is "1he Combination Gas Machine."--
Manufactured by Barrey g. Bros. Detroit,
Mich.
have no accumulation Of gas on hand at
any time, excepting what is In the pipes, the
same amount that must b. on b and in the Use
Of coal gas. II IL not necessary with this nt-
chine 10 even use a gasOmeter, " hich Iy leak
ing often causes an explosion " It'll coal gas.
To gain proper IDEA OF the safety of this
process of manufacture, would slate that tue
"Carburctt, r" whore The gas Is generated, Is,
buried In the yard tw 1.-TWO feet from the
house aud seven feet down in the ground, and
is in a large tub entirely surrounded by water
There Is no gasoline on hand, but what IL thus
securely kept from com ng IN contact with
fire or outside air. the Jump which drives the
air through the carbureiter stands in the cell
lar and is worked by wright, and there is no
mir passing in or gas passing from the carbur-
EFT er, unless the gas burners are lighted.
From this gas get white strady light
and as To its perfect safety, there is no quest
ton.
