Special to the indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO. Ind. Nov. 2O.-State Natural
Gas Inspector J. e. Leach. OF this city.
has just completed number of tests Of
wells in various parts Of the natural gas
area of Indiana and inspecting plants with
the view of preventing leakage and waste
of the fuel Professor Leach found the
wells all showing up strongly and bearing
evidence of satisfactory service the COM
ing winter. Very few additional wells have
been drilled this fall. he says the
mild weather of the past seasons and
the closing down of numerous factories
on account of dull times. having reduced
the normal consumption of gag fuel to n
point that obviates the necessity for sink
ing other wells to strengthen the winter
service. as has been the case heretofore.
The general resumption of operations of
the factories of the gas belt, Mr. Leach
says. should not visibly affect the supply
of gas. Nearly all the larger industries
have their own gas plants and the supply
to private consumers will not be endan-
gered by the heary drain by the mills
and factories. The domestic supply comes
from separate systems. Factory wells have
been given good rest in most cases and
are in a condition to stand heavy draft.
though continuous operation will necessi-
tate the drilling of additional wells in the
near future. Professor Leach thinks that
a severely cold winter may tax the pipe
line systems TO their full capacity i'm some
towns and he will not be surprised to hear
OF a shortage of the gas supply in those
places. This is the eleventh winter of nat
ural gas in Indiana and the product has
lasted beyond general expectations. Prof.
Leach says that several hundred square
miles of fertile territory yet remain un-
touched by the drill.

taken was i'm the adoption of an additional
