The United Gas improvement Co.

No city without good gas lighting facilities can be regarded as progres- slve, and in certain measure the quality of this service suggests the standing of any community. Of all Illuminating gas manufacturing con- cerns in America. and perhaps throughout the world. none is more widely known than the great United Gas Improvement Co, commonly known as the T. c. I. This nam moth corporation has it's headquarters in Philadelphia and furnishes the gas lighting service to that "Greatest City of Homes.''
 Besides operating the great plant there, it has been the policy of the company, in free American style. to purchase or lease and operate the gas works in other cities, and in 1884, the .plant and service of the Waterbury Gas Co was leased, and the efficient management of the U. C.. I. installed. Since that time the old plant has been rehabilltated and enlarged, and the quality of gas and service greatly i'm proved.
 The present plant occupies a large area and comprises three generator
 
 quate for the needs of this city for years to come The methods of pro- ducing gas here are thoroughly mo- dern and q great volume of high grade water gas is made and supplied the public for both illuminating and fuel <1rposes. Water gas is much high erS%rade of illuminating gas than coal gas; also better for fuel gas. An en- Jox, ,,;e is the special price made on the same gas when used for fuel purposes, which policy has been found to be very satisfactory to both the public and the company. For the fuel gas used a separate meter and connection are supplied and for all fuel gas used a reduced price is made, which has re- suited in popular demand for fuel gas.
 The extensive system of mains cover the entire city. some forty miles of heavy high pressure pipe from g. inch in diameter have been laid.
 The company maintains large and handsome offices and salesrooms at 80 Leavenworth street where every kind of practical gas lighting and heating devices are on view and will be dem onstrated upon request. At night when the gas offices are illuminated the sight is one to behold.
 With the T.. G. I. the personnel of it's representative is a most important factor and everyone occupying q prom inent position of trust and responsi- bility is appointed solely upon merit and due to his peculiar fitness for the position. The interests of this com pany are so large and varied that there is an occasional transfer of, able representatives from one place to an- other. The manager of the Water bury department of the U. G. I. Is Edwin H. Williams who has a long record of service with the company, and has been here nearly twenty years. Under his able management the Waterbury department has de- veloped into a great property. The head of this great corporation is the we'll known Philadelphian, Thomas Dolan, one of Americas greatest cap tains of industry. but the active head is Samuel T. Bodine, the general man. ager, who gives his personal supervi sion to all the important and varied interests of the great United Gas I'm provement Co.
