Gas Distribution Plant Opens In Alma Michigan
A Grand Rapids Press quotation details J J Wagner of Jennings Manufacturing and his son Ralph Wagner promoting the high pressure gas distributing company in Michigan. The Alma plant serves Ithaca Alma St Louis Breckenridge Wheeler and Merrill from a single generating station at Alma. Gas is compressed to about 160 times normal pressure to allow smaller pipes and prevent moisture and freezing. The project includes ninety miles of mains with pipes buried thirty inches underground. The ditching and pipelaying gang advances at half a mile daily and President Brown of the Alma board of trade backs the venture.
