RECOMMENDS ECONOMICAL WATER GAS UNIT R. H. McWilliams. of this city, recently visited Guelph, Kitchener and Hamilton. with view to ohtaining first hand information with respect to the manufacture of water gas.

He asked His Worship Mayor J. E. Knox to accompany him and they visited the gas plants in all three places, interviewed those in charge and secured some interesting data respecting the manner in which their plants were operated, and what system they used in the manufacture of gas. Mr. McWilliams on his return, expressed the opinion that water gas units are low cost to instal, low cost 011 upkeep and low production cost.

Information to that effect was given by the Superintendents of the three plants visited. He stated that these plants have all been operating for some years and have given entire satisfaction. "There is no need for Owen Sound to be short of gas to supply all our customers, as a water gas unit call be installed in our present plant while it is in operation." declared Mr. McWilliams. He went on to say that it would take about 60 days to instal a water gas unit here, and was strongly of the opinion that the matter should not be delayed.

He stated that 110 experimenting would be necessary, as this is standard equipment and would produce gas with the necessary B.T.U. for use in the homes. He declared that a great deal of the present equipment could be used. Mr. MciVilliams is further convinced that the Owen Sound Gas Plant would lead itself to an economical installation of the necessary appliances in order to manufacture water gas: that if the old holder was placed in working order the plant could produce a supply for twenty-four hours in a working day of eight hours, thus doing away with considerable overhead expenses; that the installation of the necessary appliances could be carried out without interfering with the maintenance of present production; and that such a change-over would not be an unjustifiable expenditure, According to Mr.

McWilliams the charge of gas plants which he. and the Mather visited had all read of the troubles enced in Owen Sound, and each expenone of them, quite independently, recommended a conversion of the Owen Plant to the water gas method of production.
