gas manufacture.
The director states that it is not
necessary to discuss the desirability
Of laws or ordinances controlling gas
companies, but it is proper to en-
ohasize the fact that the value of such
legislation is not wholly to the public
There is no doubt that the public can
be and is protected by the existence
and observance of such laws, and that
the advantage to the public is in pro-
portion to the benefit thus gained ny
the consumer should also be the gain
to the company, since one of the es-
vice corporation is public confidence.
and by no other means can it so sure
ly gain this as by feeling of secur-
ity on the part Of the public itself. Or
this basis any equitable law and its
enforcement should be welcome to the
company as an aid in the maintenance
of a proper relation between it and
the public
A further advantage to the gas com
pany of such public confidence is the
prevention of the passage of laws and
ordinances which are unfair to the
company, or the enforcement of laws
in such a way as to be unjust to the
manufacturer. The members of state
legislatures and city councils are not
usually technically trained men and
are necessarily dependent upon infor-

For many years we have watched
with much interest the remarkable
record maintained by DR.. Kilmer's

beginning the proprietors had so much

considerable number of we'll known
gas engineers and inspectors.
Part II. deals similarly with state
control of gas questions and proposes
technical rules prepared in the same
way as the proposed ordinance af
Part l.
! Part III quotes a few or the ordi-
nances now in force in this country,
selected as representative of recently
enacted ordinances, and gives all por-
tons of the state gas laws now in
force which are of any considerable
importance to the subjects in this
circular.
1t is stated that the detailed direc-
lions for all the methods which would
be required in the enforcement of the
ordinances proposed would make
practically text book of gas testing
and inspection. The compilation Of
such a set of standard methods is al
ready begun and the results of the
investigation will probably be pub
lished later this year.
The bureau will at'all times appre-
ciate any cooperation or criticism
from gas engineers, inspectors, Of
other gas experts, which may enable
it to make a more complete and accu-
rate statement regarding any phase of
the subject. 1t is especially desired
to have suggestions as to those phases
of the subject which are incompleteiy
treated, in order that in later issues
the usefulness of the circular as an
authoritative publication may be in
creased.

GAS BULLETIN

Should Improve Methods Of
Gas Makers

Washington, D c., April 15.-Th'
results of thorough study of tn,
methods employed at the present time
in this country in the official inspec
h tion and testing of Illuminating ga
are embodied in CIRCULAR which WI

standards, department of commerce
and labor.
j Tn the introduction the director
states that although it can not be
expected that methods employed il
testing gas will ever be entirely uni
8form throughout the country, he looks
i for greater uniformity of method ana
more accurate measurements as a re,
q suit of the bureaus work.
The investigation did not go into

81 MANAGEMENT. 1t dealt rather with
4 methods of testing and the regula-
tons for the quality of gas and gas
i service.
An investigation of legal require
ments. particularly of those concern
! ing the testing and inspection service,
3 has been first made. The results
Il which are presented in the circular
n have furnished much information Of
value and have led to some important
conclusions as to the desirability of
3certain regulations. A circular on the
chemical testing of gas and the meas
urement of the candlepower and heat
Hing value will be issued later.
The attitude of the bureau is en-
tirely advisory, and its intention IS
only to place in the hands of the tech
nical and general public an impartial
and, as nearly as may be, accurate
summary of the facts which must be
considered in connection with the in
, NNtlOil anu CNotllIS VI IlIC duflIlly C1l
distribution of Illuminating gas.
The subject matter of the present
circular applies in general to coal
gas, carburetted water gas, by-pro-
duct gas, and their mixtures. There
is no special distinction made be-
tween methods which are desirable
for privately operated companies and
those under municipal ownership and
management, since all apply to each
case equally well.
The material is arranged as fo'-
lows:
Part I. gives a summary of the mu-
nicipal gas ordinances now operative,
presents general discussion of mum
cipal gas requirements, and proposes
an ordinace which has been prepared
as a compilation of the best ordi-
