the town authorities submitted the
matter to a special committee con-
University, a chemical expert and a

tee visited a number of refri gerating
plants in various cities, examined
carefully the details in regard to
each item of advantage and disad-
vantage and finally decided in fvaor
Of the carbon dioxide refrigerating
plant. Accordingly the city authorities
Of Glessen made arrangements to have
their new abattoirs fitted with large
coolers and to install a refri gerating
plant operated with carbon dioxide
as the refrigerant.
Our local firm at present. is en-
Joying good business, which they
claim is all due to the fact that the
previously installed have
made absolutely good and that these
new orders are coming in through
the fact that they were able to get
such strons recommendations from
those who have tried out the ma
