THE SUPPLY OF NATURAL GAS.

1t is no doubt true that the yield of the
gas field becomes less year by year, but
there is reason for believing that the short
age which is causing such inconvenience
in Indianapolis is not wholly due to the
decreased supply at the wells. According
to reports from the gas district there is a
gradual lowering of the pressure, but as yet
it has not been enough to bring complaint
from patrons supplied by other pipeline
companies than those on which this city de-
ponds, but drawing their supply from the
same territory. One of these companies
which supplies fourteen Ohio towns and
cities notices no decline of the pressure, and
the same is said to be true of the Chicago
pipe line.
One trouble here seems to be that the
mains bringing the gas from the wells are
not equal to the demand. Since they were
laid there has been a great increase in the
business. Thousands of connections have
been added since the first year and the lines
have been extended over much wider ter
ritory. Except in the case of manufacturing
establishments it does not appear that the
companies have limited the number of these
connections, but have, on the contrary
taken on all the patrons that offered. What
ever the quantity of gas at the wells it is
unlikely that the mains laid ten years ago,
somewhat as an experiment and adapted to
the supposed needs of the city at that time,
have now sufficient capacity for the field.
At all events there is an unsatisfactory
vagueness in the statements of the COM
panies concerning their facilities for furn-
ishing the fuel they are under contract with
the citizens to supply. If they are indif-
ferent to, or disposed to encourage a short
age with a view to securing a revision Of
the gas ordinance and an establishment of
a meter system, as some of their eXasper-
ated patrons suspect, perhaps unjustly, they
are hardly proceeding in a way to profit by
their plan. For by the time such a change
is effected, if ever, so many persons will
have resumed the use of coal and have ac-
quired such a distrust of gas that they will
decline to return to it. What the companies
should do now is to make plain and honest
statement of the situation, of the probabili-
ties for the winter the chance of securing
an increased pressure, ETC. They should
also be prepared to offer a rebate to those
of their patrons who, having paid in adj
vance for gas, are obliged to use other fuel.
Their responsibility in the matter is likely
to be tested in court, and, whether they are
held liable not for the failure to fulfill
their contracts, there can be no question
as to the equity of the proposition that they
should refund the money paid if they can
ont 1,air hor + &c
hardship to large number of their Gus
! toners to be driven to extra expense for
wood or coal. And if the companies can do
no more they can at least shut off all blocks
and steam-heated buildings and give private
| residences the benefit of the entire supply
