HE THINKS CIRCULATION OF

Mr.. Lane states that his men were
instructed recently to make n canvass
of the city for the purpose OF com
piling data on the number of houses
in the city in which there were arti.
ficial gas connections. This canvass,
said Mr.. Lane, was taken in the IN
terest of the company and of the con-
munity and not for the purpose of
spying on the electric lighting con-
nections of the municipal plant I'VE

business which use our lighting and

that the remaining houses and places

power must be supplied by the Mimi
cipal plant
Record Was Necessary.
Mr.. Lane stated that there are d
large number of houses in the city
of which his company had no record
OF artificial gas connections. He stat
ed that 1t was necessary to make
complete record as people renting or
buying houses always made inquiries
at the Light Heat and Power corn
pany Office whether or not the various
houses We're connected for artificial
gas. Mr.. Lane stated that If any OF
the city officials We're responsible for
circulating the story that the L. III. a.

of the houses in various parts of town
for the purpose of taking an inventory
of the business and equipment of the
