6 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. ri:opLE you KNOW And Sonin Y«i i Don’r, Who Come and Go in a Day.
