AGAS PLANT QUESTION.

Nr. Joseph II. Woodruff, of Chicago. has
been in the city few days looking after a
business matter and called at the board of
trade Yesterday, meeting number OF tue
leading members. He represents the
Loomis Gas and Electric company of Chi
cago, which for three years has caused
many millions of dollars to be invested in
gas plants operated according to a new
system making, as claimed, cheap fuel.
As may be known only about sixty per
cent of the heat in coal Is used IN heating
boilers or in the average manufacturing
business. The "Loomis patent" as it is
called causes njnety-four per cent. OF the
heat in Goa To be used and as represented,
the business of the affair consists in the
saving Of the heat and this saving puts in
the plant and make the profit.
The plants can utilize Il very poor quail
itv of coal to advantage. From ton Of
slack about six times as much gas can be
generated as from ton of good coal ac-
cordins TO the usual plan. The gas as
generated is suited for manufacturing
establishments aud will. as claimed, pro-
duce more heat in the absence OF ashes
and smoke than The coal itself.
Plants are being operated AZ Boston,
Philadelphia, Wa!tham, Wilmington,
Delaware, Cincinnati. East Liverpool,
Sandusky, Akron ana at Sheffield, Eng
land, and at other points in the old coun-
try. The gas IS used direct from the
main for manufacturing and lor lighting
is forced through a burner making regu-
lation gas jet.
The object Of Mr.. WoodEuff's visit is TO
look the city over for the purpose OF
making a report to the company on the
advisability of putting in a plant lie
said last night that it was simply 4 bust
ness question based on the present and
future of Wichita. A plant 10 supply

all the manufacturing establishments in
the city, would cost between $4,000 and
500 Co
