Gas Production .Here, Report
Prospects of the Connecticut
Light and Power company doubling
the production of its Harbor avenue
gas plant. in the near future are
bright; it was learned today by The
Evening Sentinel.
Superintendent C. D. Briggs was
unable to verify the report of the
doubling of gas production for Nor-
walk. but said he had heard plans
indicating that this is being consid-
ered.
To double the capacity of the
Harbor avenue gas plant would
simply mean the lnstsllstion and
construction of what is known as a
: - inwhieb‘ gas
which holds approximately ’ 1.500.-
000 cubic feet of gas. The new tank,
it is understood, would have a. co.-
paclty of 2.000.000‘cubic feet.
Insofar as the actual making of
gas is concerned. the present mis-
chinery is sufficient to double itll
production. {The plant is ,making
spproxlmately 600,000 cubic test
each 10 hours . By working the gas
production machinery 24 hours I.

' when he left home and we can see
no reason why he should disappear:
we believe it is temporary loss of
memory. There are only two un-
usual things. One is an operation on
his neck which left a prominent
scar. This may have llild something
to do with his mental state.
“Since the Young lint plant clos-

Wednesday morning he set out for the

something again. He left home, and'
we have word that he passed Tripp's
