Building and industrial news . 6 State Constr. Co., S. F 12, A. W. Beggers, S. F 13,937 R. O. Summers, San Tlie Engineers estimate was $11,200. Plans were also ordered for two new bridges to cost about $,00n and $8000. IRVING L. RYDER, Erineer, San Joe:;. For the last year the demand forautoi:natlc water service has been rap-idly increasing until now even the lesspretentious liomes demand this newconvenience. Tlie Electric Weld auto-matic storage system of gas waterheating is comparatively new In thelocal field but the rapid strides It Ismaking indicate that it Is destined totake a prominent place. The is one that appeals, for it doesnot restrict the amount of hot waterthat can he drawn, the only limit to thevolume of hot vrater obtainable beingthe size of the faucets. The flow of gasis controlled by a moment temperatureMiermositat, which is operated by Uietemperature of the water in thebottom of the boiler. The cojdwater displacing the hot waterwhich has beisn drawn off, oper-. ates the automatic valve, allowingsufficient gas to flow through at therate of 60 feet per hour to heat thesame amount of water as has beendrawn; it then closes, leaving only thesmall pilot light burning, ready for thenext operation. The boiler is doublyinsulated witli asbestos and oak woodlagging, insuring the same efficiency asis had with the thermos bottle. These heaters are made for all re-quirements from the small bungalowsize to the large hotel or apartmentsizes, ranging from IS gallons to 500gallons. Sizes up to 66 gallons areoperated by a single burner; from 82gallons to 1500 gallons are equippedwith two or more burners, according tosize. The multiple boiler, as the largesizes are called, are particularly effi-cient where a large service is required,botli from the standpoint of gas con-sumption and where a simultaneousdrain from a number of faucets oc-curs. The latter Is covered with thestorage feature and applies to all por-tions of the building
