l. residences are brilliantly lighted
by the Lexington Gas Light Com
pany. The works of this company
were established in 1878 and have been
in operation ever since. The present

company Mt the present. time in i'm
provements. This company has about
seven miles of gas main, is furnishing
the city with 103 street lamps and fur
nishing 115 lights to private consumers.
Their gas is manufactured from the
coal product of the contiguous mines,
for which the company pays something
like $500 per year. Several hands
are employed in conducting the work,
and this plant is in many respects a
most creditable industry among our
manufacturing enterprises. Officers
of the company are Messrs. A. ID.
Cresslcr, president; l.. +. Cressler,
ice-president and Robert b. Dickey
secretary, treasurer and manager.
These gentlemen are all citizens of
Lexington, earnest in their efforts to
give our citizens the benefit of the best

are experienced and proficient, and
withal interested in every under taking
tending to the advancement of our
city's welfare.

pressure of Go pounds to the square
inch at the curb stone and supplies
225, 900 gallons Of water a day oil an

of credit for the health for which the
city is noted must be given othe water
works, and for convenience, comfort,
and general usefulness, the value of
the water works is ~incalculable. The
company derives its revenue from the
city which pays "a 900 q year for fifty
five hydrants and from consumers in
the city who pay about $4,000 q year
for the service. Quite q force of hands
is kept employed by the company.
