in Upton represented an investment OF

GAS PLANT FOR DYSART.
The city council of Dysart has placed
Before the voters of that town propo-
sition to bond the town for $4,000 to
provide funds for the erection of mu-
nicipal gas plant. A committee of the
council has investigated the plants in
operation at Richmond and Williams
burg and finds the plan practicable
both as regards cost and service.
Speaking of the plant at Williamsburg
the Cedar Rapids Republican says:
They have a system of making a
very rich gas out of gasoline and air,
the gas being something like IS or so
per cent compressed air. The gas,
however, is said to be very rich, being
it is said four or five times stronger
than coal gas. 1t gives very brilliant
light and its value is shown when used
for cooking purposes. The streets are
lighted with this gas, large Welsbach
burner being used. They are made as
light as day and the people are much
better satisfied than they would be
with electric lights. The cost to the
private consumer is so small that II
seems almost incredible. Stores are
lighted with gas for from 80 cents to 81
per month and one restaurant last
month for light and gas range fuel con-
sumed gas that amounted to but s1.30.
