Gas Blast Destroys Philadelphia Suburban Gas Plant
A gas plant at West Conshohocken, operated by Philadelphia Gas and Coke, exploded in a compressor room shortly after 2:45 a m. The blast buckled the roof, shattered windows, and damaged five compressors. A fire followed, burning part of the roof and interior before being checked. A second blaze started due to inability to shut off a gas line and burned about an hour. The plant serves a large suburban area reaching Reading and beyond, with three large storage tanks still in service.
