NECESSITY OF
NEW CHIMNEY
DETERMINED
Inspection at Runyon Plant
Yesterday by Water Board
ITO Get Estimates.
DO NOT APPROVE Of FEUL
ECONOMIZER PLAN

An inspection yesterday Of the plant
at Runyon by the Board Of Water Com
missioners developed the necessity of a
new stack, in accordance with the rec
ommendation of Commissioner Grieve
made at lapt Wednesdays meeting, and
it was agreed to call a special meeting
Of the board for July 20 to receive es-
Inmates from three stack builders, pre-
paratory to advertising for bids. The
proposed installation of fuel econo-
mizer, because of the expense involved,
did not seem to meet with the APPROX
al of the commissioners, although 1T
will be reconsidered ct the special
meeting.
A new stack is said to be an immed-
late necessity, inasmuch as the new
boilers will be in place in a few weeks.
All four boilers will be operated under
the one stack.
President Edwin G.. Fraser says he is
not in favor of fuel economizer be-
cause the small returns would not war
rant the cost. 1t would be Of great
value, he says, where the amount Of
coal used aggregated about 100 tons
in twenty-four hours, but where the
daily consumption amounts to less than
ten tons as at Runyon, he sees no need
of one. According to Mr.. Fraser, the
yearly amount saved by the economizer
If installed at the Runyon plant, would
be about 800. Thus it would take thir-
ty or forty years for the economized
to pay for itself.
Bids for the erection Of a new stack
will be advertised for following the
special meeting Wednesday night, and
second special meeting may be called
to receive them.

RESTORE HIGH
RATES AGAIN

New York, July 9:-The Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company announced
that 1T is going to restore Its old
higher passenger rates which were
in effect ON that line prior to October
1, 1907. This determination is re-
suit of the decision of the supreme
court of Pennsylvania recently hand
ed down, in which the county Of
Philadelphia was enjoined from en-
forcing the two-cent fare law Of
1907. The Lehigh is preparing its
tariff schedules based upon the old
passenger rates and the probability
Is that the increased schedule will
go into effect about the middle Of
this month. This railroad and q
number Of others were content to al
low the case Of the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad, on which the de-
cision referred to has been given
within a short time, and that of the
Pennsylvania to serve as test cases,
as the same or similar questions of
law were involved In each instance.
