Declares Washington Man

To the Editor OF The Washington Times:
In this matter Of gas. l wish 20
add my protest 10 others who fro
cause to justly complain.
The quality of gas furnished gets
more inferior every year. ant the
bills rendered are about double what
they were two years ago. The bill
left today is larger than even rem
dered, heretofore.

amount paid each month for sev-

ber 1907. So. 90. June. 1906 $50, June,
1906. $40; June, 1907. $3.50.
There has been but a very little
variance in the numbers OF people

and records show; that IS. for GER

Defective Meter
Registered Gas
Of Mr.. McKittrick

Mr. J. w. McKittrick. 52I3 Bright
wood avenue, reports. like many other
citizens OF Washington. that he has
been puzzled over the fact that his gas
meter has, like Weston. the pedestrian,
shown a remarkable ability to travel
faster the longer 1t was IN use.
Mr.. McKittrick appealed numerous
times to the gas monopoly TO investigate
and show cause why his gas bills for
his modest requirements. without any
apparent reason increased curing the
previous months as follow:
Month ending August 81. 1907, $3.50.
Month ending September 30. 1901, $50.
Month ending October 30. 1907. $4-GO
The company sent men TO look over
the fittings several times. and they re-
ported nothing doing. and that there
was no cause for complaint. When
patience ceased TO be a virtue Mr.. McKitt-
rick repaired 10 the office of the conf
pany and registered a most vigorous
kick, and stated emphatically that he
didn't want any more men sent 10 look
It over" that he could LOOK It over
himself. and he could do more than
look IL over. he could smell the troubls
that the gas man was unable 10 dis
cover, and that he didn't care 10 have
further trouble with his neignbors, who
threatened TO do things" 70 him II he
DIDN'T suppress the nuisance, which was
clearly emanating from his premises.
Finally his appeals brought 70 the
scene an inspector who had the temerity
20 strike a match 10 facilitate his search
for the trouble. With the result that the
leaking gas ignited and threatened 10
supply Illumination for the entire neigh
borhoOd- Vigorous efforts were required
to smother the flames and save the
premises.
BY the mysterious working OF fate,
which IS so often observed IN the opera
ton OF gas meters, the leak occurred az
the business end OF the meter and was
caused by defective work IN the part
OF the gas company. Now Mr.. NcKitt-
rick naturally demands remuneration
for the excessive amount paid FOR gas
wasted. through no fault OF his. and

interest the action OF the gas company,

army possessed a parrot. and also a

one day, while the general was writ

Then he set the cage down again, and
