GAS IS TURNED OFF
EXPLOSION AT FACTORY CUTS
OFF SUPPLY FOR FEW HOURS.

An explosion of gas in a conyeyor
pipe at the gas plant of the Traction
and Light Company, located on Third
avenue west about seven o'clock Tues
day evening put the works out OF
commission for the time being or I'M
til the fourteen inch galvanized iron
pipe could be, rebuilt. The result was
that the gas was turned off the mains
for the time being and the early morn
ing breakfast preparations were de-
layed little time. The supply was re.
sumed during the morning however
and the plant is operating again to-
day.
The damage done by the explosion
will amount to several hundred dol
lars. The explosion ripped open the
pipe that connects the retorts with
the storage reservoir and did some
damage to an interior partition wall.
Some tin workers were aroused from
their beds, put on the job and. after
an all night session they had the pipe
replaced. @'f
Before turning on the gas Manager
Porter Of the Traction and Light Com
pany notified every Customer that the
gas had been turned off and to keep
all jets closed until the supply was re,
sumed.
The explosion was caused by inferior
material for operation. The Company
has had TO be satisfied with what they
could get and the last car Of coke was
away below standard. II would not
furnish enough heat to do the work of
the plant. This permitted the gas to
settle in the pipes instead of forcing II
into the receiving tank .. ......>
When the retort was opened in the
evening preparatory 10 making the
supply for the breakfast run" the ex-
plosior OF the gas that had remained
in the pipes occurred. No one was IN.
jured
This is the first time in the history
of the plant that the gas has been

in this respect compared with most

Only last winter Waterloo was with

and Mason City "a hours, While other
cities in other years have been out of
commission for greater, periods Of
time.
