GAS PRESSURE      '
LOW DURING
COLD WAVE
The cold weather for the past week
haa had a trying effect on the local
gas pressure, and has found It below
normal.
In speaking to Local Manager, Mr.
Frits he has stated that in the number
of years ha haa been In the gas business even in the winter of 1917 and
1918 when the consumption of gas
waa greater than it has ben ln the
paat weak; and with only * single
gas main on all the streets where at
present they are doubled, the pressure reachod a new low mark, so much
so that if it went any tower it would
go out entirely.
It has proven to be a fact that the
supply Is not adequate, to meet the
cold winter days consumption, in spite
of all the improved regulation appliances, installed for tbe betterment of
service.        •
