SO great have been the demands
arising from the extensive use Of nat
ural gas IN factories, public buildings
and dwellings Of Indiana, Michigan,
and Ohio, that the supply is rapidly
being overdrawn and it is estimated
that the gas belt Of Indiana, where the
product is obtained, will in two years
at tho furthest be practically exhaust
ed. Attention to this matter has been
called by the statement OF the Indian
apolis Gas company that 1t is unable
to declare dividends owing to the fact
that three-fourths OF the citizens Of
Indianapolis are guilty OF recklessly
wasting and stealing gas from the com
pany and the answer Of citizens to the
effect that they have to resort to
seemingly sharp practices because the
quality OF the gas is SO poor that they
