planning on being present at the
hearing in Oklahoma City on jan
uary 3. The cost OF laying the con-
Meeting line Is about 100000.
Completing Preparations.
Every detail Is being completed as
the line is laid. The first reducing
station, to cut down the pressure
from the mains of the Oklahoma
Natural has been installed at a
point near The Oklahoma Natural
mains south OF the city
At the corner of Third street and
Georgia avenue, another reducing
station has been installed by the
local company. This station is at the
point where the connecting line
enters the city. The line today is
being laid in the alley between Fifth
and Sixth streets, from Arkansas
avenue north to Oregon avenue.
Reaching Oregon, II will go west to
Ninth street where one OF the
principal mains Of the local distrib-
utng system will be tapped.
From tho mains of the Oklahoma
Natural, carrying 100 pounds pres
sure, the reducing station at the
point where the gas will enter the
connecting line, will reduce the
pressure to IS pounds, as the gas
enters the mains in the city, 1t will
be further reduced and when 1t
enters the distributing lateral lines,
it will be again reduced to two
ounces.
"Ths Is considerable reduction
and it sounds like the pressure
would be inadequate said Mr. Shat
fer this morning. However, the two
ounce pressure will be about twice
the pressure We have at the present
time with the manufactured gas.
1--WE will be ready to receive the
gas from the Oklahoma Natural
mains several days before the date
of the hearing in Oklahoma City.
Everything is practically complete
at this time. There are some finish
ing up jobs in the way of making
the connections. We have bought
several small lots at various points
over the city on which we will con-
struct our reducing stations. The
contractors have done good work
and quick work in building the line
and we are just about ready for the
gas"
