THE AMERICUS DAILY T1MES-REC0RDER: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1891.
GAS WILL BURN AG AIN
JETS AND FIXTURES WILL BECOME
USEFUL ONCE MORE
The Contract to he Let Soon For » IMant
Which Will FurnUh More Than Knou^h
"Load Smelling Nothingness" to Supply
Americas* Demands.
Don’t bother that gas jet!
You will need it the tlrst thing you
know. If you do away with it now you
will regret it later.
Tuk TiMEs-REconnEii bears news that
ianews this morning.
Ever since the gas and electric plants
shut down, the early part of the year,
many thousands of feet of gas pipes and
many jets and burners have been a grim
reminder of what once was. Tho elec
trie plant pulled through and the bright
glimmer of the electric lights was missed
for two nights only. The gas plant did
not bob up os serenely, however, as its
sister plant, which It had pulled down.
The fact is that the gas plant was only a
very., inferior experiment with a very in
ferior process of making gas which had
been put in to supply gas for an unsus
pecting public. It never gave any satis
faction and though there was no lack of
consumers, it constantly lost money.
- When gas was made by the process at
all it was only tit to flicker and stink.
When tho gas failed to show up witli
the electric lights many residences,
stores and offices hail to be provided
with an outlay of lamps for lighting
purposes. Tho intention was, however,
to use these only temporarily.
Report after report has been circulat
ed as to when gas would be turned on
again, but ail tiiese vanished into the
thinnest of thin vapors before fast flying
timo. Notwithstanding tiie fact tiiat
nearly every new building that has gone
up since tho gas plant shut down lias
been provided with gas fixtures it lias
been an open question, and an oft re
peated one, os to when tho “loud scent
ed nothingness" as somo one has faceti
ously termed it,would bo forthcoming to
make these fixtures of avail.
This morning It can be authoritatively
announced that Americas will soon have
all the gas she wants.
The company whicli lias tho matter in
charge has been quietly sawing wood
and saying nothing. At the samo time
it has not been slow to see that a good
gas plant can do a profitable business in
Americus. Neither has it allowed the
grass to grow under its feet, but it has
been casting about for the best way in
which to accomplish the object In view.
For well nigh thirty days now an adver
tisement has bean running in the Haiti
moro papers calling for bids for the
erection of a first-class gas plant in
Americus.
The torm “first-class” is used ad
viscdly, for that is whnt tho now gas
plant will bo In every detail. It will bo
such an improvement on tho old plant
that gas consumers will not regret that
they lind to go without thatnrticlo for
awhile.
Many bids for doing tho work have
been recioved. In a few days tho con
tract will be let, and woik will begin at
once. When once it is begun it will be
pushed as rapidly as men and money can
push it.
The new plant will be put up accord
ing to the drawings of an architect who
baa devoted his life to making plans and
speeiflcaUons for sueh things. It will
have more than double the capacity of
the plant recently used, and the process
ehployed in making the gas will not be
an experiment. It will be what is known
as the coal process, which has worked
so satisfactorily elsewhere. Everything
will be of the latest improvement and
design, and when the new gas plant is
ready to begin operations it will be a
■ plant "as is a plant.”
Mr. U. B. Ilarrold, who is at the head
of the company which will have the now
plant erected, will leave In a day or so
for Baltimore. While there, and after
he hqs consulted with the enginer in
charge, ho will award the contract and
take a bond for the completion of the
work at as an early a day as it can
possibly be completed. Exactly the
time that the new plant will be ready
cannot be given just now, from the fact
that only the man who mado the plans
knows bow much time will he required
in. making it ready.
It is enough for the people of Amcri.
cus to know that they aro to have gas
once more, and that with the least delay
possible.
