OVERHAUL GAS WORKS
George H. Priest, Gas Expert, Has
Arrived to Take Charge of the
Work-To Build New
Mains.

The Stone & Webster Engineering
Corporation today began work on the
transmission line from Hamilton, III,
to st. Louis, Mo-, which will be built
at a cost of over s1,000,000. About
twenty men were assembled for the
first days work. Camps have been
pitched to accommodate them and the
erection of a telephone system Will De
the first thing done.
The first land tower will be erected
Just below the dam on the Illinois
side. These towers will be eighty
feet in height. Six cables will be sup
ported by them. Work this fall will
me- be extended for more than fifteen
miles southwark
Proposed Suhstations.
It is tentatively planned to build a
substation at Quincy, Ill. Another
likely will be built across from Han
nibal, Mo-, and third at Louisiana.
Others will be built where there is a
central demand for power.
One of the largest manufacturing
concerns within short radius of the
dam, which very probably will use
power. is the Atlas Cement company
at Hannibal. 1t is estimated such a
plant would use enough power to
cause saving Of nearly $4,000 an
nually on this item alone. The cost
of installation would not be great.
Overhaul Gas Works.
While plans have not been worked
out for a transmission line north, the
company owns enough land for right
of way nearly to Burlington. Unless
it is possible to sell much OF the
power to Keokuk and vicinity the
-Cities-D Davenport, Rock and Mo-
line are looked upon as feasible ter
ritory, 1t is thought.
George H. Priest, a gas expert, ar
rived today for the purpose OF con-
Quoting work relative to overhauling
and reconstructing the local gas plant,
which is in poor condition. This
work will start Immediately. New
mains are to be built and the plant in
general shaped up. Better gas and
more Of 1t are expected.
