TO SUP- Bir ELKS LODGE SECURES PLY ALL DEMANDS FOR FUEL IN THE FUTURE High pressure distribution of gas in mains from three to five hun· dred miles in length to supply small towns surrouRding the larger centers of population and intervening rural districts, such as is now done by su– per-power facilities of central station electric companies, is a certainty of the near future, Walter C. Beckjord, vice president of the American Light and Traction Company, New York, declares, , ,.. 1 Natural as has been transmitted upwards of 300 miles and there is .10 reason why manfactured gas cannot be handled in similar way if the eco– nomics of the situation permit, be says. •"An eight-inch transmission main can be laid in the ground for about $8,000 per mile," Mr. Beckjord says. "This isn't much more than the cost of some electric transmission lines. Wooden pole transmission lines can be built for $4,000 or $5,000 per mile and the larger steel transmission lines cost from $12,000 to $15,000 per mile. "Gas as a fuel can be supplied much cheaper than electrical energy be· cause the thermal efficiency of gas producing equipment is around sev– enty-five to eighty per cent while in the case of electrical equipment it is slightly more than twenty per cent and the investment cost is much high– er. The investment cost of an ele– ctrical system is about twice that of the gas system per million B. T. U. so that it is easy to see that in most places where it is necessary to sup– ply heat, gas bas a greater advan- tage." Former Garvey Home For Home Temple At the regular meeting of the Mon- arch Lodge, No. 45, I. B. P. 0. E. c,f W., on Monday evening, January 9, unanimous approval was given to the purchase of Liberty Hall, former headquarters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (the Gar– veyorganization) as a site for a tem– ple and home. The property is be– ing purchased from Casper Holstein past Exalted Ruler of Monarch Lodge, and one of' the most promi– nent Elks in New York. Mr. Holstien has refu~ed several offers to sell the property to white builders at a substantial profit and is letting the Lodge have it for what it cost him, simply because he is am– bitious to have his lodge own and occupy the largest and finest temple in Elkdom. Bourht At Forecloser The property was secured from Garvey organization by Mr. Holstien at a forecloser sale nearly two years ago. His purpose in buying it was misunderstood and he was charged with being the agent for white bro– kers who ~re anxious to get the plot as a site for new apartment houses. Although he had befriended the U. N. I. A. by several loans, this organ– ization made all kinds of charges. a– gainst him, going so far ·as to take the matter to court and having the first sale voided because the auct– ioneer was alleged to have refused to accept the money due from the As– sociation. When the resale was held, Mr. Hol– stien was again the high bidder but showed a remarkable spirit of for– giveness by allowing the U. N. I. A. to continue using the hall for their meetings. There is one fundmental difference Officers Installed in the problem of the super-power No jnformation was given out as electric generating station al'ld the to the details of the Elks building super gas works, he explains.
