The Main Reliance of.the Gas Companies.

Editor n. y. &ipping and Commercial List ::
DEAR SIR In your issue of january 10,
1888: under the head of Reriem Of the pctro-
leum Market for 1882, and referring to Nap
iha-you say
"Naptha has become the main reliance of
gas companies, yielding as il does an illu-
minator OF superior quality at less cost
than coal"
This statement is so garingly erroneous
that it must have been furnished You by
some one either entirely ignorant Of the
matter, or else interested in the promotion
of one Of the numerous schemes for the sale
of Patents TO manufacture "Naptha Gas"
(so-callcd.) There are in New York citvsix
gas companies. Ofthcsc ionr use Bituminous
coal and Camel, and are not an the least de-
gree dependent on tie use Of Nupthu. These
four companies supply over two-tbirds Of
the gas used in New York City; the other
two are manufacturing what is called "water
gas and their main reliance is Napiha. ANY
one at all acquainted with the manufacture
OF gas will realize how precarious and dan
gerous an element this is. water gas" has
been supplied in New York City by the two
companies referred to for about five wears.
during which time some eighty deaths have
occurred from tho inhalation of this GAS in
the districts supplied by these companies
circumstance of itselfwhich should lead to
its prohibition entirely, and it would, if the
Board Of Health of New York did its duty,
In the districts supplied by tho Bituminous
coal gas such fatalities are entirely unknown
Every few days the public are furnished
with glowing accounts of the formation of
some new gas company, owning some new
Naptha patent, which is to supply Gas at
most ridiculously low prices. These schemes
can all be traced to one source, and have for
their object the sale of Patents which are
utterly without commercial value.
Taking the entire Gas manufacture of The
United States, it will be safe to say that not
one per cent. of it is produced from Naptha,
The Bituminous Goals from West philadel-
phla and Virginia are the ''nain reliance
of the Gas Companies in the States, and this
is found in almost unlimited quantities. The
competition in its production enables Gas
Companies to secure their supplies at a fair
price at all times. Naptha, on the other
hand, it is well known is controlled by one
company having the power to advance
prices at will, or shut off the supply entire
~. With this power in the hands of the
greatest monopoly in the world, fortunate is
it that Naptha is not the main reliance of
1as companies MELAs.
