MAKE FUEL GAS IN
ANNISTON DISTRICT
La Garde Demonstrates Gas Can Be
Manufactured at Very Small
Expense

Admission, April 0.-(Special) THAT fuel
gas can be manufactured in the Annis-
ton district at very small cost has been
demonstrated by John b. LaGarde, presi-
dent of the LaGarde Lime and Stone
company at LaGarde and in relation to
the establishment of a similar plant here,
Mr.. LaGarde said today
The cost of producing gas is extreme
ly low Coal will cost about 81 a ton
laid down at the plant and the labor
will be S. a day. Two containers, which
can be bought for about $4,000, use 10
tons of coal per day, and each ton pro-
duces from 10000 to $1,000 cubic feet of
gas. Hence. it is seen that IL costs
about $25 to produce about 100000 cubic
feet of gas. or a little more than two
cents per 1000 cubic feet.
''rhis gas is the finest kind of fuel
for lime kilns, brick kilns. chinaware
kilns, glass factories, etc, giving a
steady. uniform heat. free from dirt"

picture of market conditions. Every

counted upon to keep most of the mills

other periods of prosperity.
Leading steelmal1ers state that from 30

One large Independent maker in the
Pittsburg district has 100000 tons in spec-
feations on hand, equivalent to three or
four months full output of its works,
and also has about the same tonnage of
contract bookings which has not yet been
specified. Owing TO these conditions, mill
operators are in a cheerful mood. They
