 T. w. Hine has secured from the City Council franchise to lay, maintain and operate gas pipes in the City of Phoenix for the space of fifty years. Mir. Hine states that the system will be a complete one in every particular, but it is intended to be mainly an adjunct to the electric light plant. The works, upon which $50,000 are to be spent, will be placed on the same lot as the electric light works and operated by the same man agement. The gas will be what is known as water gas, very different from that at present used here, which is made from coal oil. The price for the product of the new works will not ex- ceed S3 per thousand feet. Mir. Hine will start on Sunday for San Francisco. where all necessity arrangements will be made.
