NOTICETO CITIZENS Indiana Gas Company Gives Out Official Warning to Decatur People WATCH FOR LEAKS In the Lines—Real Test Will Begin on Tuesday Morning Next Week Decatur, Ind., Aug. 23, 1909. Citizens of Decatur: — The pipe line connecUng the city of Decatur with the gas works at Fort Wayne has been completed and the gas holder in Decatur will be ready for service within the next ten days. The people of Decatur are familiar with the use of gas by reason of nearly twenty years’ experience with natural gas. While we have carefully gone over the street mains and find them in thorough condition for the distribution of artificial gas and the houses which were piped for natural gas are adapted to the use of the new gas, still in an effort to protect the public against any possible accident that might occur by reason of an oversight in plugging the lines in their homes or for any other reason, as a precautionary measure a solution having an odor will be pumped into the pipes in an endeavor to locate any leaks or defects that may be in the street mains or house piping. We earnestly ask the co-operation of the citizens and householders of Decatur in our endeavor to prevent any possible accident. Please report at the company’s office any unusual odor or condition that may exist arising from the pipes on your premises. Do not take any light near the pipes. Yours very respectfully, Indian Lighting Company. o NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS
