LOWES GAS BiLLs.
Asystem Proposed which VIII Make
Them Possible.

4 meeting Of the Committee on Light
was held at the upper gas-works yes
terday evening at O'Clock for the pur.
pose II considering the best method Of
increasing the generating capacity OF the
gas-wOrks for an amount not to exceed
The appropriation OF 525, 600 recently
made by the City Council. Present: {:
Nessrs. Gum, Bodeker, Grimes, Ferri-
ter. and Hargroye.
Plans were submitted from the United
Caslight Company and William Henry
White, ranging in prices from Sl6,OOO
TO 526, 900.
Mr.. Humphreys, Of the United Gas
Company. of Philadelphia, accompanied
by Mr.. Frank Il. Glasgow, appeared be
fore the committee.
Mr. Glasgow recommended very high
ly Mr.. Humphreys sud the company ne
represented.
Mr. Humphreys then briefly explained
his plan for making water gas, and CON
tended that with such plan it could be
placed in the holder for the small cost
Of 90 cents per thousand feet.
The Superintendent being called upon
for his opinion stated that he thought It
would be q good idea TO Use water gas rs
an auxiliary to coal gas, and that 1t
would be tho means of reducing the
present price OF gas.
The committee decided to adopt the
water-gas plan. and a subcommittee,
consisting Of Messrs. Guna fchairrAsnj.
Grimes, and the Superintendent, was APP
pointed to visit different northern cities
where this kind of gas is used and ex-
anime the processes IN operation.
The committee then went on a tour Of
inspection and were entertained in a
handsome style by the Superintendent
at the lower gas-works. They found all
the works in good order and conducted
in an efficient manner by Superlntend-
ent W. c. Adams.
Owing to the long experience OF seve-
raj members OF the present Committee
on Light this body is well prepared 10
deal with the intricate questions con-
stantIy arising in connection with the
gas- works. The efficient and popular
chairman, Mr.. W. 5. Gum, has served
on this committee for over six years.
Mr.. Hsrgrove, the present chairman OF
the Finance Committee. was several
years ago a member OF the Committee
on Light, and as such took an active in
terest in the conduct OF the works. Mr..
Grimes was almost raised in the works,
and consequently is thoroughly familiar
with its details, and Messrs. Otley and
Davis have served two years upon the
committee. Although this is the first
term on the committee OF Messrs. Bode-
ker and Ferriter, they are both public
spirited men. and will rapidly acquire
the special information needed.
