Annual Report OF the Inspector OF
Gas and Metres.


Tho first of the series of annual reports,
that of the Inspector of Gas and Metres for
the year ending juno &c. 1881, was sub
mitted TO the Comm issioners in manuscript
to-day. The quality Of gas. according to
the report has been uniformly good
throughout the year, and the number Of
complaints of poor light have been very
materially diminished. The gas contained
very small quantities Of ammonia or sui
phur and that furnished by the Washington
Gas Light Company was on eleven occa-
sions below the illuminating power Of six
teen candles, and the Georgetown Com
pany's gas was below this average on
twenty-six occasions
The highest illuminating power of the
gas was 1920 candles from the Washington
Company, and 20.S1 candles from the
Georgetown Company. The report con-
tains q list of slight violations Of the legal
requirements by both companies, and
states that they have been corrected and
arrangements made which will prevent so
frequent violations during the present
year.
A report of burners of various patents
tested, etc, accompanies the report, and is
given with view to arriving at deter
mination rs to what burners should be used
on the street lamps. One thousand one
hundred and thirty gas meters were in.
spectcd during the year. OF these seventy.
six registered fast, and ninety-fve slow, and
thirty-three did not register at all All but
one of these were dry meters. The report
concludes with recommendation for mod.
flying the act of Congress governing the
gas meters, and asking some changes IN
the office etc
