states and New York state. Always
having had his office in Worcester, he
has been identified with engineering in
connection with numerous large build
ings in this city. Among them may be
mentioned the Y. M. c.. A. building,
that of the Y. w. c. A., the armory,
county jail, the new court house
grounds, hospital buildings, machine
shops through Grove and Union streets
and various churches. He made the
surveys for the inaugurating of a sys-
tenn of sewerage foE the city in 1866,
under Mayor Blake's administration.
In March, 1874, the dam at the .Lynde
brook reservoir gave way, and the con-
dams in Cherry Valley, down through
New Worcester. Mr. Buttrick did the
engineering and superintended the re-
construction of most of these dams. He
has made preliminary and locating
surveys for railroads in this and ad-
joining states, and in 1854 he was asso-
ciated with the late Gill Valentine in
laying out Hope cemetery H. A. Pratt
lis, now associated with him, and they
have a fine office in the State Mutual
building.
Mr. Buttrick is one of the original
members of the Worcester County So
ciety of Engineering, and was its first
president He was one of the first mem
bers of the Worcester Congregational
Club and is life member of the Wor-
cester County Mechanics association.
He is member OF Old South Church,
and was one Of the committee for dis
posing of its interest on the common
and purchasing a new site, and building
its present house of worship.
He has been twice married, his first
wife being Miss Elizabeth S. Newton,
and his present wife was Miss Teresa
Corbett, to whom he has been married
since 1887. He has two children, Loui-
sa A., 10 years old, and Lizzie N,

denser, and until it is stored in the big,
tanks is the same as in the manufac-
ture of coal gas. Some gas companies
use coal gas exclusively, others oil gas,
but in the local gas works, a conlbina--
ton of the two is produced and served
to public users through the street pipes.
In "a hours $4,000 feet Of oil gas can
be produced by one water gas set.
The work Of gas generation is inter-
mfttent. For eight minutes the entire
plant is in the process of generation,
for the next six minutes the employees
and machinery cooperate in producing
the heat necessary for another blast of
eight minutes of gas making. In the
second minute of the eight, 1000 feet of
gas is produced, gradually decreasing.
AS an aid to producing heat quickly
a driving fan is established in the en-
gine room. The current from the manu-
moth fan causes air to rush at the rate
of one and quarter miles per min
ute, and the draught created fans the
fires in the retorts and at the end Of six
minutes the heat necessary for the gen.
Grafton process is obtained. ar
At the local gas works 100000, 900 feet
of gas are manufacturedy yearly. The sys-
tenn among employees is exacting, and
although the hours are Long, the actual
amount of work is less than in the
average working day of employees of
other corporations. In one shed, the
men are allowed to smoke while waiting
to draw coal to the retorts, but pipes
must be out before the employee steps
into the yard. Four parts of air to one
of gas are necessary before there can
be any explosion. and then there is
barely a puff when the combustion
takes place.
To the student the entire process is
interesting; to the average man or Wo-
man it is complex in detail, but one
cannot but admire the wonderful in
genuity of chemist and scientist who
have evolved the process of manufac-
turing and serving at nominal price
the gas which lights our homes.

them at grade. He is at the head of the
depressed track movement, and a bitter
fight is sure to result when the matter
comes before the Massachusetts legis-
lature.
No man, not even the iron chancellor
Of the German empire, ever possessed
a stronger will power or q more indo-
mitable courage than Mr.. Taylor.
Maturing his plans carefully, and
with faith in himself and his judg-
ment, he never turns back once he has
made movement in advance.
Associated with Mr.. Taylor in his
business enterprises is his son, r. F.
Taylor, who is a veritable chip of the
old block. The son has a large amount
Of property in his own name and is one
Of the shrewdest appraisers OF real es-
tate in Worcester.
The story of Mr.. Taylor's life would
make one of the most admirable text
books on success that could be put into
the hands of young man just start
ing out with the world before him and
nothing but ambition for his capital.
Jay Gould and his rat trap formed a
combination no more promising than
Mr.. Taylor and his humble store in
Quins gamond. Both men, however, in
the beginning Of their careers took the
family dictionary from the shelf and
carefully erased the words fail" and
despair"
Courage, faith in ones self, the facul-
ty of trying again and again in the
face of repeated setbacks, economy in
the use of money and wisdom in its in
vestments, these are the foundation
stones of progress. The democracy of
humanity is such that all men have
chances equal to those of R. c. Taylor
if they will but reach forth and grasp
them.

Thomas Hennessey, who holds the
contract for building the new track at
the Greendale fair grounds of the Wor-
cester Agricultural Society, is pushing
the work rapidly, and expects to have
the big job we'll in hand long before
Nov. 1, which is the contract limit.
Last week the circle of the ring was.
completed dirt and filling being cart
ed from either end, and the form of
race track is at last apparent. The
work of cutting the small hills on the
north end of the grounds progresses
rapidly. as the dirt is carried away to
be used as filling in at the swamp at
the south end. The trenches for drain
ing Beaver brook have been completed,
and a large portion Of the 1900 feet OF
stone drain pipe has been laid.
The Agricultural Society has COM
pleted the erection Of the old grand
stand which was removed from the
west side grounds, and painting will be
commenced this week. A spur track
of the Fitohburg Railroad will be run
on 10 the grounds, and the siding will

VOTING LISTS READY.
A Slight Increase in Registration is
Shown Over Last Year.

Shown Over Last Year.
The voting lists for 1899 are compiled
and ready to post.
The total number of voters, according
to the present list, is 1898 against 49,
462 last year.
The number of voters at the Decem-
Der registration for city election was
1908. The decrease is attributed to the
fact that the city clerk has been unable
to locate men whose names have been
dropped from the list. Early in the year
notices were sent out which have been
repeated from time to time in the en-
deavor to locate all voters, but many
of the notices have been without result
The lists this year are prepared ae-
cording to streets. by order of the city
council and, as many voters have
changed their residence since the last
election, it can be readily understood
that the amount of extra work in the
city clerks office has increased mater
tally.
The following table shows the number
of voters by wards and precincts as
compared with last year:
