Weather Forecast. Showers tonight and Saturday warmer north portion. Extended the Time. “Owingto the change being made in the gas line from the old to the new Held all the consumers may I expect a light shortage of gas for ' at least two weeks, which time it will take to make the change and to connect up the new wells to the line now being laid. As soon as the new line is lai I "an 1 the wells ' connected we expect to give hotter service, by far than that given dur-| ing the past two years. The com ! pany now has meters on hands it is' urgently requested that all persons who expect to use gas this winter will leave their order for a meter at once so that the company may be able to ma ke orders in advance to the manufacturers for what, meters we may need for other consumers. We are prying a bonus to the manufacturers in order to get 1 all meters to supply our patrons at j once and it is very h rd to get an order, for the demand on the manufacturers is so great that their capacity is almost exhausted. All the gas companies located in the gas belt have been driven to the meter ; system in order to supply their cus-, tomers. We being some 42 miles from the gis field are driven to force the gas such a long distance,! requiring the best class of pumping machinery and from *OO to 1000 horse power steam to drive the great air pressure to supply our customers with gas >hat it entails an enormous expense. J. S. Bowers. Owing to the scarcity of meters and the slowness of the manufacturers to supply our orders we have ! extended tin* time for consumers to! supply themselves with meters | until November Ist. After that date gas will be sold only to those people who have the meters. This matter refers to consumers in Decatur. Monroe, Berne and all others along our line. J. S.
