superintendent Knowles Anticipates
Largely Increased Revenue For
Coming Year-Edght- Hour Shift Is
Success.

Determined to make the city gas
plant one of the most complete, IL
not the best. plant In the country, the
administrative board yesterday di-
rected Superintendent Knowles to as
certain the cost of installing improved
machinery and apparatus for the
manufacture OF frst-class gas in every
particular. Richmonds gas plant Is
n source of much revenue, and 1t is
believed by the superintendent that
the income next year will reach n
very high mark The increasing cost
of coal is impelling citizens to use
gas for cooking and heating, and the
record for installing such connections
has been broken by the gas depart
ment.
The recent redistribution of labor
at the gas plant, has produced most
encouraging results. The eight-hour
shift has resulted in large daily out
put, being $4,000 feet of gas per
day more than before the system was
installed. The gas Is as good as pro-
duced anywhere, as has been shown
by analysis, Many complaints which
have been recorded In the Office of the
inspector have been shown to arise
because of inferior fixtures or defec-
tive pipes inside the house. Very few
complaints have been found to arise
over causes due to defective manu-
facture or delivery service.
The administrative board yesterday
directed the superintendent TO ask for
bids for supplying ten benches of
Mines which means apparatus for
increased production and brilliancy
and for ten foot sets OF water gas
apparatus, This material for i'm
provements to the plant will cost
large sum OF money. but the board is
preparing for the budget of the COM
ing year, and II hopes the city council
will be generous enough to hand over
the necessary appropriation. which
they point out will tend TO produce a
larger income to the city.

WHO SHALL RECEIVE THE
REWARD FOR DESE,RTTHs.

The question as to who shall re-
cetve the standing reward the govern
ment offers for the capture of desert
ei's from the army or navy arose In
police court yes+i rday. when II was
learned that officers who had detained
such deserters had lost their rewards
when the men were turned over to the
army or navy officers.
The case In point was that OF Emil
Freitag, an alleged deserter from the
navy. who was arrested for trespass-
ing upon the property OF the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad, and who was
afterward found to he a deserter- De-
tective Bertucci recited an incident In
which he had lost hts reward when
the deserter had been taken in charge
by the army officers
Justice Crutchheld continued the
case until he could get an opinion on
the matter from Judge WaddIn. of
tho United States district court. The
decision will probably not be reached
this week, as Judge WadGiii ts In Nor
folk where he will hold court this
week.
