SUPT. ADAMS'S CARD.
HE REPLIES 10 MR. GLAsGOW's
REMARKS ABOUT OUR PLANT.
A slight Misunderstanding m "a
what the Latter said About Our
Gas-A Compliment to Mr.. Adsms's
Ability.
Ability.

A slight Misunderstanding. Of friend
| ly nature however, seems to have
arisen between Superintendent W. &.
Adams, OF the city Gas-Works, and Mr..
Arthur @. Glasgow. the gss-plant construc-
| tor and expert. who is on visit to his
| father, Mr.. Frank 7. Glasgow. OF this
city, as to Mr.. Glasgow's criticism before
water-gas plant here.
! Mr. Adams yesterday sent the following
communication to the Dispatch.
| To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
| Knowing your fairness In all matters
! pertaining to the interest OF the
not Intentionally do any one an
| Injustice. l would respectfully ask that
| you withhold your criticism OF our
| badly constructed water-gas plant UNI
| Ill you can get the opinion OF an expert
who Is entirely dsnterested In the con-
struction OF water-gas plants. You must
remember that Mr.. Glasgow IL in the
business OF contracting for and erecting
water-gas plants. both in this country
and in Europe: therefore. 1t IL not rea-
sonable to suppose that he would say
anything complimentary OF a plant put
up by one of his strongest competitors
in the business. The only difference be-
tween our plant and the one Mr. Glas-
cow builds is that Mr.. Glasgows plant
has a carburetter and superheater; In
our plant the carburettng and superheat-
ing is done in one machine.
If we did not make a thoroughly fixed
gas we would have an extra amount or
condensation in our drops. on our street
mains. as it is, | am free 10 say there
us much less than when we were making
straight coal-gas.
VISITED THE WORKS.
Mr.. Glasgow. in company with myself.
looked over our water-gas plant, and also
examined the quality OF the gas we are
making and furnishing the consumer, and
his remark to me was. IF the people are
not satisfied with this gas they must be
hard to please Now. If this plant ia so
very defective in construction, why is II
that he acknowledges We make a good
gas?
I am clearly OF the opinion from my
long association with gas men, that there
are more than one expert engaged In the
gas business I'm this country. and men
who have successfully managed large gas
works and are not interested in the con-
struction Of gas plants. | hope you will
defer further criticism of our plant until
you get the views OF these men. Plants
Of the same construction az oyrs are now
in successful operation In Akron, o.;
Canton, o.: Covington, Ky; Middletown,
y. Y, and several other places. The SUI
perntendents OF these works speak of the
plants in the highest terms. and all OF
them claim good results from them.
Therefore, | am unwilling TO accept Mr..
GIasgow's statement. that Richmond has
the worst plant that has ever been con-
structed. W. G. ADAMS.

GAS GOOD AT THE GENERATOR.

the trouble that the gas lost some
of its enriching qualities In its distribu-
ton This was a thing which Mr..
Adams could not help unless he was given
the proper tools. The Superintendent.
he declared. was a man OF marked
ability among gas-makng people. and he
was making gas which should be perfect

in the distribution that the gas detero-
rated. This was the whole fault and.

THE GREAT ToBACCo WAR.

Many of our readers know of the war
existing between the manufacturers of
plug chewing tobacco, but we, perhaps,
are familiar with the cause.
For years some manufacturers have
been making enormous profits by giving
consumers small piece of plug for ten
cents. Recently very large manufac-
turer, seeing that the tim had come for
better things, has placed a new brand
called Battle AK on the market, which
gives the consumer very large piece of
most excellent quality for the same price.
This has raised great storm among
those who are hurt by it, but it gives
joy to those who use the goods. In Battle
AK. they get greater quantity for their
money, while the quality is equal to the
finest of other brands. This has natural
ly had the effect of greatly decreasing the
business of those who have held to the
old way, and it has materially curtailed
their enormous profits. On the other
hand Battle AK now taxes the resources
of three large factories, which, by run
ming night and day are still unable to
make the goods fast enough to satisfy the
enthusiastic demand.
The people want good thing, and the
most of it that they can get for the price.
The manufacturers who do the best by
them will get their trade. Their rivals
naturally do not like it. They raise a
mighty howl but the A K will out them
down.
