Central Maine Power COMPANY

Greatly improved gas service in Wat
erville and Fairfield has resulted from
the Central Maine Power Company's re-
cent additions to its gas making and dis
tributing equipment at the Waterville
plant.
The old Waterville gas plant was COM
pleted in 1915 and the distribution of gas
was through six inch mains. Inside of
two years the output of the plant ex-
ceeded the capacity of these mains and
as result, the customers nearest the
plant were getting gas at higher pressure
than they should and those farther out on
the mains were getting lower pressure
than standard.
To offset these conditions and render
proper gas pressure service, the company,
as soon as was possible after taking over
the plant, completely renovated the gas
plant and distributing system. An Inger-
soll-Rand Compressor and six high pres
sure gas tanks with a total capacity of
90, 600 cubic feet were installed, backed
up by a new Tenney- Lowe water gas
manufacturing plant with a 10000 cubic
foot capacity per hour-an increase of
$4,000 cubic feet per hour over the old
ga plant.
Gas is fed from the six high pressure
Ld0kS luIO SOFCluO1 WulSA ACuuNOS ChS
pressure, then through second governor
which reduces it still more and finally a
sensitive governor is in operation on ca oh
meter to insure that the gas pressure on
each customers service would be reduced
to the proper pressure.
This system is now in complete opera
ton under the expert supervision of the
manufacturers and is working out splen-
didly. The point of minimum economy
in operation has not yet been reached,
but within short time the experts will
have worked this out also.
A new coal shed with capacity of
1000 tons-a years supply for the gas
plant-has also been constructed and is
being filled up as rapidly as possible.
In spite of the difficulties Of securing
materials and workmen, the company
has put through its reconstruction pro-
gram on the old Waterville gas plant
almost within year.

University. May 19--t Special )-Ala- bama's concluding baseball series of the year will be played with Mercer on the local diamond Friday and Sat Lrday The South Carolina college has an unusually strong team this year and Coach Lewis is expecting a couple of hard contests. Games with the Uni- vcTsity of Tennessee scheduled for the first of the week ware called off on account of the inability of the Knox Vile team to arrange southern tip.
 Up to date Alabama has played six teen games and every college contest resulted h a Crimson victory except crie game of a double header, which was dropped to Mississippi A. & M. at Starkyllle. However, Alabama de- feated Howard College in two games and the Baptists tucned around and licked the Maroons In a trio of games. Alabama had twenty mine games ar ranged, but rain interfered with a number of them. X series with the University of Mississippi was called off by the latter institution. Georgia was unable to make room on her schedule for a return game played with the Athens team last year.
