ALLEGHENY GAS co.
men IN RICHMOND
MAKING A SURVEY
Plan Route of a Main Into
the City, and Gas Dis
tributing System.
MAY ASSIGN CONTRACT

That there is a possibility of the
Allegheny Gas company assigning it's
contract to the Richmond Light, Heat
and Power company, if the city accepts
the contract submitted by it, was ad-
smitted today by e. p. Whitcomb. presi-
dent of the Allegheny company.
Mr.. Whitcomb stated, however, that
at the present time the matter is rest
ing, but admitted that there had been
number of propositions submitted
by the Light, Heat and Power COM
pany. -.
Il can not say at this time just what
the outcome of the negotiations will
be, but it is possible that the contract
may be assigned the local concern, al
though there is not a probability at
this time" said Mr.. Whitcomb.
E. P. Whitcomb, president; P. w.
,Loofer, vice president; w. J. Broder,
superintendent of construction; X. c.
Krick, special representative. and B.
A. Magred, engineer of the Allegheny
Gas company, were all in Richmond
today going over the city and making
tentative plans for the construction
OF the distributing system.
Survey Route into City.
The representatives also made a
trip over the proposed line into the
city and took rough survey.
The present plans are for the main
line of the company, which runs from
Dayton to Muncie, to be tapped near
Glencarn, Ohio, which is about 10 or
IL miles from Richmond The line
will probably be s inches in diameter
and run southeast to point just east
of the Driving park, thence west along
the national road to 23rd street, thence
south on 23rd to A street where a
large regulating station will be placed.
1t is planned to, extend a belt line en-
tirely around the city which will act
as feeder for the city. This line will
probably be inches in diameter.
The engineer for the company stat
ed that they were experiencing con-
siderable trouble mapping out terri
tory on account of the number of ma
cadam streets and cement alleys.
The Representatives of the company
said that they were rushing through
lHe temporary map or the distributing
system SO that they could be ready to
proceed if the city acts favorably on
the contract after the public hearing,
which will be held July 21st.
Talks About Pressure.
Mr.. Krick said that the main line in
to the city would carry pressure of
about 10 to 15 lbs, but that when it
reached the consumer it would not be
more than or ounces. He stated
that in case the supply of natural gas
gave out at any time the city could be
supplied with artificial gas through
the same mains.
In answer to the question as to
what the company would do if the
city demands certain standards as TO
pressure. quality, heat units. etc. Mr..
Whitcomb said, that means that we
will not come into the city. 1t would
be physical impossibility on our part
to attempt to regulate that matter in
the contract" He said further that

FIRE OF UNKNOWN

A fire, the origin of which is un-
known, broke out at the Champion
Roller Milling company's plant at
Tenth and Fort Wayne avenue Satur-
day night at midnight. The prompt
arrival of the fire department pre-
vented the flames from spreading into
dangerous fire. The loss was $500.

crept Toward Grain Bins.
A hole had been burned In the floor
and the flames were creeping around
to the grain bins. One bin with a
small amount of grain in it was al
ready on fire. The fire was extin-
guished in short time, but the smold-
ering woodwork threatened to break
into flames and it was necessary to
keep several streams of water playing
on the burning section for almost an
hour after the flames were put out
Fire Chief Ed Miller stated this
morning that the state fire marshal
had been notified of the fire and
would probably make an investigation
The fire did not appear to be from
spontaneous combustion and to add to
the mystery of its origin. all the win
dows and doors were locked, dispelling
the theory that lighted cigar might
have been carelessly tossed into the
building lighting grain chaff which
was on the floor.

As milling business is dull at this
time. only small amount of grain was
stored In the bin which caught fire.
The loss from this amounted to only
u few dollars.
The loss was covered by insurance.
The Milling company fire is the largest
so far this year.

There is nothing true in what she
