Makes Detailed Report
Federal Gas Company Gets Favorable
Verdict From Guthrie Council
Committe

The Little Rock plant is planned to
lrequire about thirty miles Of mains,
after the same plans OF al gas plants,
except that they are using a more
expensive class Of piping, to-wit. gal.
vanized
They regard the process and ma
chinery as fully capable Of supplying
/ gas for the city of Little Rock or a.
city Of any size
The plant at Newport is successful
and its light is highly satisfactory
Many persons with whom we talked
including Mayor Duley and City Eng
lneer Keiser, regard the Federal Gas
/ process as basing revolution in arti-
fetal light All expressed the brief
opinion that Il is the finest light"
they ever saw. they say it viii not
freeze, that It is not poisonous; that
1t is not dangerous, that there is no
portion Of It, machinery, fuel, product,
/ process of manufacture, nor anything
in its operation that effects the fire
insurance rate. They say the light, al
though stronger and more brilliant,
yet. is softer and better for the eye
than that from coal gas or electricity
OF the many persons we consulted
not all had tried the gas for fuel,
lbut a number had and not a single one
expressed an opinion unfavorable. All
said it possessed greater heating pow
er than coal gas, and that it gave en-.
tire satisfaction
Now as to our opinions and recon-
mendations.
The Federal Gas process and ma
lchinery is oonstruetable for a city Of
any size and is as easy adjustable to
the capacity demanded as the building
of railroad cos atty miles or five
thousand
The gas is dr. The secretary of
tie company stated that, in certain
section of piping which he mentioned
and which had been close to his obser.
walton for about II months, there had
not been drop Of condensation to his
knowledge and that he believed there
had been absolutely none.
We are firmly convinced that there
is no condensation The gas is not
poisonous. We breathed it and saw
others breathe It.
The heating power Of the gas is
great, as shown by the quick boiling OF
, water in some of the tes;s we MADE
and saw made
The light produced by the gas is
white, soft, dinuslve and strong
stronger than anything we know OF
here with which to compare it, It
, Is the best light we ever saw
Our progressive city. the capitol OF
/ the territory and the coming capitol
of great state ought to have it, and
. ,5e recommend, not only that your
. honorable body do its part but that
s the entire citizenship lend to the en-
/ terprise ali that encouragement which
. has heretofore characterized our pub
lic spirited people We attach hereto
E and submit, as a portion of this report
