new GAS PLAN FOR
CHEAPER GASOLINE.
Company to Build Five Plants
for Process to Liqucfy
Natural Product.
LITTLE LOSS on THE GAS

The prevailing high prices Of gasolene
have made possible the adoption OF n
plan for the extraction Of gasolene from
dry natural gas, known az the casing
head" process, which has been known for
some time. but which hitherto has been
too expensive to operate proftably. The
Columbia Gas and Electric Company
has announced in It's annual report plans
for the construction of five plants TO
carry out this process. three Of which
are already under way. Oil men say
thai numerous other companies are con.
sidering the installation of similar
plants.
The Columbia Company estimates that
by December l OF this year 1t will be
producing by the method more than
20 1000 gallons a day. and that the new
source Of income will materially increase
its earnings. Prices OF gasolene SO pro-
duced have run about IS cents a gallon,
which until the recent rise in gasolene
prices had been too high to meet the
competition Of petroleum gasolene.
In the new process the ordinary dry
natural gas is liauefied under pressure
to permit the extraction OF the gasolene
and then turned TO its regular uses, little
affected in either quantity or quality.
according TO the statements of those who
know the process. The result, IL is aid.
Is an exceptionally volatile grade OF
gasolcne which is particularly valuable
for automobile fuel. The yield usually
runs about five gallons to every 1000

William Fellowes Morgan said 1t was
undoubtedly true that the idea prevails
in Washington and in Albany that New
York Is a soft thing"-that II doesn't
much matter what Is done to or about
New York. New York will stand for 1t.
That idea exists because New York has
been asleep. Mr.. Morgan continued, and
