Capt. Gearing, who has been expert
menting at the fuel plant for couple
of weeks, has given up the attempt 10
produce gas from coal. Mr.. Gearing
has come to the conclusion that he
must have Finleyvllle slack to do the
work. The coal he has been using
failed to meet the requirements and u
is likely that with the plant constructed
as at present that a change OF fuel Will
do no good. Mr. Gearing says he will
continue his experiments as soon as ne
gets the coal he wants. The stockhol-
ders In the plant thinks the concern Is
failure and that no special kind or coal
will produce the gas required so that IL
will be cheap enough to use.
