Gas and Electric corporation of New
York. This is a strong company and
through the holding companies, the
Light, Heat and Power branch of Rich
mond practically has behind il n capt.
talization of SIS. 1000. 600.
The company now has a large pat
ronage of both electricity and arti'
scial gas. Unrivalled in the field OF
artificial gas, the company has made
this its main service. However. the
use of this will diminish and possibly
die when the company opens the nat
ural gas into the mains.
Granted Franchise in 1889.
The company entered Richmond by
purchasing the business of the Rich
mond Gas company, which was estab-
lished in 1855 by James Starr. the con-
trolling factor in the company. This
company was granted the first gas
franchise in 1889 and started business
on April 20, 1890. With the business
of the Richmond Gas company. the
Light, Heat and Power company. with
the addition of electricity, at once
leaped to the front as one of the chief
utilities companies of the state.
There was no competition in the
distr' button of electricity until 1901
although the Richmond Natural Gas
company, under Ebert Hibberd. al
most controlled the gas field at that
time. However. the supply OF natural
gas failed and this company was final
ly forced to suspend operations. The
mains and other property of the com
pany were sold to the l.. II. and p
company, which now owns all mains
in the streets except those of the
Water Works company.
Under the management of ]. B
Wharton the company has advanced
steadily and moved from 622 Main
street to the fine new Offices at Ninth
and Main streets. The company has
two plants and employs many men.

SUBSIDIARY CONCERN

The Light, Heat and Power COM

of the Richmond Gas company and
later that of the Richmond Natural
Gas company, has grown to be one of
the largest public utilities in the city
and rivals the city light plant in the
distribution of electricity.
Much interest is manifested in the
company because of the success in OBJ
tanning a supply of natural gas for the
city. For three years the city has
felt the need of this utility and after
months of negotiation. the Light, Heat
and Power company has promised to
turn the gas into their mains within
a month.

trouble with their incubator chicks

cate that In the early work with their
incubators their chickens were thrifty
and made q satisfactory growth. but
after their incubators have been used
two or three years the results have
been unsatisfactory.
The embryos in eggs. in order to de.
velop properly, require considerable
amount OF oxygen during their devel.
opment. The amount OF oxygen which
they require increases as the incd3a-
ton proceeds, reaching maximum at
the time when the chick energies from

Gent oxygen, the chicks do not de-
velop normally and many OF them will
die, after they are Matched, with symp.
toms resembling those of white diar-
rhea, when in reality the trouble Is
due, not to white diarrhea germs, but
to the fact that the embryos have been
weakened through lack Of oxygen dur
ing the process Of incubation.
There is no easy way to determine
whether there is a sufficient supply of
oxygen for the developing chicks, but
this can be gotten at indirectly. AS

does not necessarily mean the
