CITIES SEEK (Continued from Page One) munities served, it indicates conclusively, by records of consumption, that the public will continue to use it, and in such quantities, that, unless prompt ly checked, the service in these respective communities will never bt improved. Suggests Remedy The gas supply, while depleted to some extent, can, in my judgment, be saved for years of moderate use. I believe there is plenty of gas for domestic use if we will use it efficiently and economically and use it for the purpose for which it is and was primarily intended, viz. cooking, heating water, bathroom heating and what might be called "the lesser household purposes". We must find a method of solving the problem. In some places a promising beginning has been made along intelligent lines. In certain, communities in the state of Ohio the unreasonable low rate of previous years have now been supplanted with rates consistent with the rules of conservation; rates at so much per 1,000 cubic feet of gas in each month, and with an ascending scale of rates for additional quantities. This plan has clearly accomplished the desired object. The selfish large user has been checked, excessive demand modified, and enough gas conserved to permit most perfect service and distribution known in years. Has Three Plans. I have in mind two or three plans by which I think the unnecessary shortage of gas during cold wcajher might be avoided: First All supply companies should establish a universal selling rate to all distributing companies. I am now speaking especially concerning the Logan Gas and Fuel company of Columbus, Ohio, who supplies-the Jantha Gas company of Greenville, Ohio, tho Richmond Light, Heat and Power company of Richmond, the Interstate Gas company of Newcastle and the Central Indiana of Muncie; that company distributes in a large number of cities and towns and I presume supplies other companies bc-skles the one above mentioned. I assume that it has a different selling price and rate to each of the companies supplied by it, and it has a different rate in each town and city where it distributes gas directly to the consumer. Now this is wrong. They should be compelled to pay the same rate." Advocates Sliding Scale Second, determine the proper amount of gas to be used by a normal family during a month for cooking, water heating, etc., at a reasonable given price per 1000 cubic feet, then make you increase upon a sliding scale (or rather add your sur-charge) CASCARETS "They Work while you Sleep' Liven up I Your system is full of liver and bowel poisons whin keep you headachy, constipated, bilious, halfsick, and . unstrung. Take Cascarets tonight! Wake up feeling like a "live wire," with your stomach regular, cold gone, and a clear head, rosy skin and sweet disposition. No griping no Inconvenience. Children love Cascarets too. 10, 25, 50 cents. Advertisement.

SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

' upwad from that point. An average family, if I am tsorreptly adyised, if they will use gas correctly; ran "cook, run a hot-water-heater,-heat-a bathroom and have lnqidental heating in a bedroom with an average consumption of 6,000 cubic feet of gas per month.' Third, the excess used over and above the stipulated amount should be termed "heating service," which, from a conservation viewpoint, costs more, because it is a "peakload" eeryice, and they should pay a much higher price than the ordinary user of gas. Then, if those consumers still insist upon staying on the lines regardless of cost, classifly them as "industrial" users and shut them off entirely during" the winter season.
