SELL OLD GAS TANKS.
What Is Leavenworth Gas Company
Preparing For?

LeavenWorth, Kan, Feb. -27.-Ettle-
man. the junk man, who bought the
big gas tanks at the old gas works, is
taking the tanks to pieces and remov-
ing them from the grounds. The en-
tire arrangement is to be taken away
and it is reported that the gas COM
pany will put in new system for
storing gas.
The job of removing these tanks is
a pretty big one The rivets have to
be cut and the plates taken out in
small portions and there are many
hundreds of gallons of water that must
be pumped from the cisterns in which
the tanks stood.
In the time of artificial gas it was
necessary to have these tanks for stor-
age The tanks were immense iron
affairs which held many thousands of
feet of gas They stool in water which
came nearly to the tops of the cisterns
in which they were placed. When the
tanks were empty they were sub
merged in the water but when filed
with gas they stood high, borne up by
the gas. The pressure of the tanks
helped to force the gas out through
the pipes into the town and the water
prevented its escape under the tanks.
It is reported that an entirely new
system will be put in and the gas
company will be prepared by next
winter to at least supply gas for lights
dringu extreme cold weather.
