We copy rom the National Oil
Journal OF October 1874 from long
article on the subject of Petroleum or
Naptha gas, in which it says: The
gas is safe and reliable under all cir
cumstances that coal saS is, and under
some that coal gas is not. For in
stance, it requires larger and more
perfect udmiXture Of air to air to make
il explosive, and does not deterioate
under extreme cold or pressure rs GOAL
gas does, for the latter reason as well
as on account of its vastly greater,
lighting power. Simplicity and safety
are the two great desiderata i'll gas
making apparatus for general use.
The practical results or the greater
brilli8ncy. OF this gas is not that burn
or using it will give five times more
light than one using coal gas in the
same quantity but that burner U.s.
ing one foot of this gas per hour will
give as much light as burner using
five feet of coal gas per hour. The pro
duct of one barrel of Naptha is equal
that of two tons Of coal in Lighting
power"
One barrels of Naptha, deivere d
will cost 81 90, while the freight ont~o
tons of coal will cost $40 90, freight and
coal included at So 0O per ton will cost
SIG, showing Il saving in Naptha OF
50 90.
The article then goes on to give fig
ures on u population of four thousand
W tn street lamps, etc., giving resu
of thirty per cent. on capital OF SS4,-
600
The works proposed to he built for
Dallas are only to cost 900, with
| 10000 feet of iron mains or pipes, all
complete; one-half Of this amount Is
necessary to be taken by our citizens,
the contractor taking the balance
Should parties desire reasonable ad-
ditiOnal amount of stock, they can be
accommodated. So there can he no 90
lection urged against the enterprise
about outside parties controlling the
company. The subscription books OF
the company are now open, and IL Is
Important that the amount of stock re-
quired shall be taken at once, so that
the works shall be ready to furnish
gas to our citizens and to light up our
streets ia time for our fall and winter
business. The payment on the same
will extend through the next six
months, the shares being 500 each.
Not even one who has the interest of
our city at heart but will take from
one to five shares in this enterprise:
