The gas situation in this city is very much improved as a car of steam coal arrived Thirsday and is being used to generate for the local supply. If the supply of steam coal holds out until gas coal car be secured the plant will be able to continue in operation. The plant is entirely without gas coal and were it not for the fact that the of- ficials were able to secure a shipment of steam coal the plant would have been forced to shut down. The apparatus for making water gas ‘which has been shut down for a few days for cleaning has been opened again and will be in full o ion today. While this apparatus is capa- bie of producing a large ‘amount it would not be able to supply the re- quired amount if the coal supply should be exhaus Werites from Camp Bowi Letter from Sergeant Willam E.

Stanton who has kept the local fire hazards to a minmi- mum. The inspecters had no com- plaint as to the wiay things are being looked after in Norwich. They aid find refuse in some allcyways, but this they said was enly a temporary condi- tion and was being taken care of prop- erly. Refuse lies in alleyways in several cases because there are no available cellars. The inspecs are fire insurance in- spectors who are giving two days a week towards this important work to aid the government to conserve its re- sources and to prevent loss by fire, They, said Thursday that they had found no antagonism in making their inspections as it ‘is pretty generally realized that loss of retail or whole- sale stocks by fire or destruction of manufacturing equipment by fire would be a serious matter at the present time. These surveys have nothing to do with the fire rates as the inspectors are being loaned to the rovernment by the insurance companies.
