WASTE GAS MADE IN_LIQUID FORM By-Pi'oduct of Gasoline Re- fining Develops Industry in Brief Time. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 15.—With unex- pected rapidity a new industry has sprouted from the depression, actually tripling its business since 1929. It is the liquefied petroleum gas in- dustry, a by-product of gasoline refin- ing—an industry founded on the salva- tion of waste. In the refining of gasoline certain gases are given off similar to the gas used for cooking and heating. These known as propane and butane— useless in their natural state, are lique- fled under pressure, bostled and sold, either direct to households and indus- try, to regular gas plants for mixtur: with natural or artificial gas, or t special distributing systems. Statistics in the magazine World Petroleum show that the industry's sales increased 58 per cent in 1931 over 1930, after having increased 80 per cent in 1930 over 1929. Rapid Development. In 1922 sales amounted to only 222,- 000 gallons; last year sales were 28,- 500,000 gallons. This is not a large business vet, but #ts backers see large potentialities ‘They estimate that there are 13,000,000 families in rural or siiburban areas, out of reach of manufactured or natural gas mains, who, by installing the neces- sary equipment, could buy the gas in bottles and cook by gas. Development of this market may be difficult, however, since the equipment is somewhat expensive, the transport of the bottled gas costly in scattered areas, and competition of manufactured and artificial gas virtually impossible to meet when it is extended. e 0 About 13,000,000 to 15,000,000 gal- lons of propane and butane are pro- duced daily in natural gasoline plants as a by-product of the separation of gasoline from natural gas. Two Days’ Production. Last year's record sales of liquefied gases represented about two days’ pro- duction. The rest either remained in the natural gasoline, which can hold about 10!, per cent of butane and nor- mally does contain up to about 5 per cent, or was burned as fuel in field and refinery operations, a low value form of utilization Even taking only those plants which | are at present fully equipped to sepa- | rate propane cleanly from butane and other gases. it is estimated that 275, | 000,000 gallons a year could be made readily available, or nearly 10 times last_year’s sales The 28502819 gallons marketed in 1931 went to domestic consumers in the proportion of about 53.7 per cent; gas manufacturing, including the en- | richment of manufactured gases, took 217 per cent, and industry and mis- cellaneous took 24.6 per cent. TAMMANY LEADERS CONFER WITH SMITH Gow. Bly of Massachusetts Also Meets Former Candidate « in lewlYork. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 15.—The Times says Tammany Leader John F. Curry and Brooklyn Leader John H. McCooey, who together claim to control the ma- gority of New York's 94 votes at the forthcoming ~ Democratic convention, held a series of week-end conferences with Alfred E. Smith on Long Island. Mr. Curry’s meeting with Mr. Smith was at the latter's request, but persons close to the Tammany and Brooklyn leaders let it be known that regardless of how many meetings the pair hold with Mr. Smith or Gov. Roosevelt, no commitment of support to the candi- dacy of either will be made prior to their arrival in Chicago five days be- fore the convention meets Gov. Ely of Massachusetts, who will place Mr. Smith in nomination at Chi- cago, lunched with him yesterday, and later both talked with Chairman Jouett Shouse of the party’s National Execu- tive Committee. whom the Roosevelt forces have declined to accept as the convention chairman. Gov. Ely expressed the opinion that “it is extremely doubtful whether Gov Roosevelt will attain a majority at any time during the balloting in the Demo- cratic National Convention.” Former Gov. Harry F. Byrd of Vir- ginia was in the city for a visit with Col. Henry Breckinridge, who has been active in supporting Byrd as Virginia's | favorite son. — .
