GAS PLANT
Be INSTALLED
W. A. Aldrich, Oae Of Pr0mot.
ers Now n the City
Closing Details

w. A. Aldrich, special engineer, who
in company with E. F. Thayer OF Spo-
kane recently applied to the city coun-
city this evening on the Spokane train.
Mr. Thayer could not be interviewed
this evening on the project Of estab-
fishing Of gas plant in Lewiston but
it Is known that his trip here at this
time Is for the purpose OF completing
the details for the early installation Of
the plant in this city. Some weeks ago
Mr. Aldrich was in the city and secured
options on property on which to build
the plant for the making of the gas
and 1t was learned by the Teller this
evening that Mr.. Aldrich would prob
ably close the deal for the purchase Of
the property.
A communication was received lately
from Mr.. Thayer by the city council in
which he recommended that the fran
chise for the street railway which IL
wanted by Judson Spofford be held up
until later 10 that there would be no
conflict with relation to gas mains and
steel rails. This II one Of the matters
that Mr.. Aldrich IL here to discuss also.
The proposition for the installation
Of gas plant in this city IL one Of the
most important projects yet advanced
and there 10 a general impression that
such q project would meet with uni
versal favor. The cheapness Of gas IL
demonstrated when 1t II known that
In an large cities Il II used to q great
extent for both lighting and heatins.
The greatest convenience in the use or
gas II the elimination Of all dirt and
especially - u desirable in the summer
time when Il may be used in cooking
stoves for domsstie purposes.
The company expect to erect a plant
here which will cost approximately
$4,000. Maine will be laid throughout
an parts Of the city and can be con-
nected In the residence portion Of the
city at q small cost. II was learned
that those interested IN the project
have beer active during the past few
weeks in soliciting those who are now
and who expect to build large business
blocks In this city. Inducements are
being offered that make the cost of
putting in the connections very mod
crate.
