Extended the Time. “Owing to the change being made lin the gas line from the old to the new field all the consumers may expect a light shortage of gas for at least two weeks, which time it I 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 laid “and_ the wells 1 connected we expect to give better service, by far than that given during the past two years. The company 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 make orders in advance to the manufacturers for what meters we may need for other consumers. We are paying a bonus to the manufacturers in order to get all meters to supply our patrons at one? and it is very hard 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 customers. We being some 42 miles from the gas field’’ are driven to force the gas such a long distance, requiring the best class of pumping machinery’ and from 800 to 10C0 horst l power steam to drive the great air pressure to supply our customers with gas that it entails an enormous expense. J. S. Bowers. Own g to die scarcity of meters and the slowness of the manufacturers to supply our orders we have extended the t ime 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. 8. Bowers.
