On tho gas plant about one-half of tho foundations have been poured nnd those for the gas holder aro set and hardening. Tho main building which' will con tain the power plant is being built on tho northwest corner of the block facing Front street, recently purchas ed by the company.

Tho gns generating plant is In the northeast cornor of the block nnd the gns holdors will be locnted In tho south cast corner. The power plant and the gns plant are built In such a manner thnt nt any time the demand requires thqy can bo enlarged toward tho mid dlo of tho north half of tho block.

Tho laying of gas mains began, Tuesday in tho west end of the city In the alley between Front and Sixth streptsf One block of pipe was laid Tuesday and after thoy get well start ed they will lay from ono thousand to fifteen hundred feet dally. The plans for tho laying of thj malna have been changed quite materially and as far as is possible they will run through the alleys. This, la done to avoid tear ing up the streets and also for tho pur pose of letting the service pipes come in from tho nlley and thua dispense with cutting up tho front lawns of tho users of gas.
