PLENTY OF NATURAL GAS.
The Companies all Feel Confident of
Good Supply.


Good Supply.
Shortages of gas were reported in one or
two places yesterday, but the cause must
have been OF local origin, as officials of the
companies declared the supply was up to
the average. At this period of the year
householders begin to grow anxious as to
the winters supply and need but little prov
ocation, such as for instance, a disarrange-
ment of the pipes. to set up a cry about
failure. There are two ends to every story,
as there are to this; it is matter of paying
your money and taking your choice. Gas
officials say the supply is up to the average
of former years, and that the supply of gas
this winter will be ample. A Philadelphia
Company official said that they were quite
satisfied when the pressure of gas down
town measured six ounces as it did yester-
day. He said there was no question of the
amount ofgas in the McGahey field, and he
considered the prospects for a winters sup
ply were, if anything, better than last years
Joseph n. Pew, President of the Peoples.
Natural Gas Company, said that there was
a slight shortage in their supply due to an
accident to one of the pumps. This would
be soon remedied. Two new pumps were
being added, and altogether he reported the
supply for the winter as being
up to that OF last year.

all others of his school combined. There is
rascality practiced, not against the State,
but by one borough against another, one
township against another, and one neighbor
against another. In the cities it is played
in another way. Some people pay taxes
and others do not, as they have a way of es-
Gaping and there is also discrimination in
valuation, but this phase is not so glaring
as in the rural regions. In borough not a
dozen miles from the city live two prop
erty owners adjoining. One is
woman, and, like the locomotive, she can
not vote. The other is an astute politician,
and can not only vote but can hustle politi-
cally. The woman owns four lots, worth
probably at full value 81 800. She also has
two houses, one brick and the other frame.
She has no occupation tax assessed against
her, and her total valuation is 81, 1926. This
is probably one-third of the actual value of
her property.
