The Coming of Relief
Throughout this period of harassing
opposition the plant of the City Gas
Company, under the direction of the
most sl5illfuf engineers, was being
rushed through to completion. The or
ders issued were to erect a plant
equipped with every latest improve
ment in gas-making machinery. De-
spite the financial depression an army
of laborers and mechanics was kept
working under rush orders. Today the
plant stands without q peer in me-
chanical equipment in the west, and
with an initial daily capacity OF
5000, 900 cubic feet of pure gas. This
capacity will be increased as the CON-
pany's II aims are extended throughout
the city until every gas consumer VIII
have the opportunity of enjoying con-
yeniences offered by this ideal fuel IL
luminator.
Is it any wonder that at this eleventh
hour the Los Angeles Gas and Electric
Company, agent for the Pacific Light
ing Company OF SAN FRANCISCO, is
manifesting belated interest IN the
s,as consumers Of the city?
The two great objectives ever Kept
in view in the designing and erection
of the plant of the City Gas Company
were the manufacturing of pure gas
of exceptional Illuminating and heat
mower, and system of distribution IN
surfing against the irregularity of pres
sure which has marked the service oi
the Los Angeles Gas and ELECTRIC
Company.
