Weather Forecast. Showers Thursday and possibly tonight. Notice to Gas Consumers. Decatur, Ind., Muy, 25. 1903. To the consumers of natural gas in the city of Decatur: The question of securing natural gas to supply patrons with natural gas to heat and light their homes during the coming winter, is becoming a very serious problem. The condition of the field from which the gas has heretofore been suppleid has become such as to absolutely preclude the possibility’ of securing more gas by . drilling additional wells, and the territory has decreased so much in volume and pressure that the wells now on the line are wholly made quate to deliver a supply’ in cold weather. On November 1. 1902, there were 36 wells supplying the plant with gas, 24 of which arejiow dead, and the other twelve are greatly weakened by the excessive draught on them during the past winter. These facts dearly demonstrate that unless large extensions are made, connecting the pump station with another portion of the field, a great number of new wells drilled, and the consumers actively co--1 operate with the company in promoting the economical use of gas. that it will be wholly’ beyond our power to deliver a sufficient supply of gas to heat your homes. To bring about this desired end. there is but one method that can be adopted, viz: the use of meters. By th:.- system economical methods are introduced by the consumer of gas and the saving of gas re-acts directly to the consumer’s benefit, for it means a direct saving of money and is a case of "no gas" no pay.” Owing to existing conditions, we are obliged to notify all consumers of natural gas. that all gas consumed after October Ist. 1903, will be supplied only by meter measurement at the net price of 25 cents per one thousand cubic feet. Meters will be furnished by the company without cost to the consumer, except the meter rental of >3 jx'r year as provided in the ordinance. Thanking you for past favorsand trusting to reeieve your future patronage, we art', yours very resjxx'tfully. Lo_'anspwrt Ar Wabash Valley Gas Co Per S T Murdock.
