Extended the Time. “Owingto the change being made in 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 will take to make the change and to connect up the new wells to the line now Iteing laid. As soon us the now line is laid undj the wells . connected ste expect to give better service, by far than that given during the pist two years. The company now has meters on hands it is urgently requested that all persons who exjieet to use gas this winter will leave their order for a meter at once so that the company may lx> able to make orders in advance to the manufacturers (or what meters we may need for other con- j sumeis. We are prying a bonus to the manufacturers in order to get all meters to supply our pa irons at mce awl it is very hard to get an order. for th< demand on the manufacturers is s i great that their cupaeit :is almost exhausted. All the g-is companies located in the gas belt have been driven to the meter system in order to supply their cus-. t imers. We being some 42 miles I 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 1000 horse power .steam to drive the great air pressure to supply our customers with gas that 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 the time for consumers to supply themselves with meters until November Ist. After that date gas will I® 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. Bowers.

Lewis Nixon was still on the stand, and under cross-examination by \V. D. Guthrie, counsel for Mr. Schwab, there i was an effort to show that the corporation would not have succeeded if the $2,000,000 promised under the Sheldon plan of reorganization had been made available, and that it ccttld not hava continued its existence even it it had received the much-soug’’.t-for $900,000 which it is alleged was wrongfully withhc Id by the Bethlehem company. Mr. Guthrie showed by Mr. Nixon that the s9i 0,000 would have been absorbed without reliving the company , cf all financial embarrassment which it suffered, and then asked if it would r have been honest to the other creditors if the Interest charges on account of bends had been paid on July 1. the date of the crisis In the affairs of th? concern.
