longer furnish them with gas The demand
for gas from the residences is as much as
the company can furnish and they will be
supplied first. While the company will not
cut the factories off entirely it will furnish
only what excess it may have in the warm
er weather.
The shortage of gas threatens TO seri-
ously injure the Industrial progress Of the
city, until after the present frgid weather
at least. The big Johnston factory has
been shut off entirely by the Crescent, and
the Clelland. which also is supplied by the
Johnston Company, has been compelled to
close temporarily At the Johnston plant
only the blowing and cutting departments
are operating and the fiattening ovens are
being kept warm by wood fires. The john
