that matter was very easily solved. and II
there was such a lack of the pressure "
could be corrected by larger main
Mr.. lie Clerc-I asked him that question
to bring up that point. because II he Is an
engineer and stakeholder in the com
many. he ought to know. and asked hlm
that question to bring that fact out. be-
cause we want enough gas out there 10

our property and lives endangered. l
have incorporated all these excerpts from
all these letters i'm report which | Sent
to the Commissioners OF the DISTRICT OF
Columbia? In that report | made the suS-
eestion that the gas pressure be limited In
one inch and II is upon that report that
the Commissioners have based their
lions TO this committee
Mr. Taylor-ThiS bill that is now pend
ing before the committee?
Mr.. LIE Clerc-Yes. the bill that is pend
ing before the committee. Nobody had
thought of making any recommendations
to this committee on the gas pressure
would like to make one further recon-
mendation and that is that the gas pres
sure be not only limited to minimum OF
one inch. but that We be given suiiiicent
gas so that at least five cubic feet pr
and that when five cubic feet per hour
passes through standard burner IT viii
give us the required candlepower
Mr.. Taylor-I understand that the COM
pany is already by law required by law
to keen up the candlepower?
Mr.. lie Clerc-Then We want sufficient
pressure to give us five cubic feet per
hour. which is u part of the law regulai-
ing the candlepower.
Mr.. Murphy-Will a minimum of one
inch do that?
Mr.. LIE ClercI have asked the gas in
spector, and l got the impression that on
inch would do that, but / would prefer
that you make it doubly sure SO that We
may have good gas.
Mr. Murphy--If you ask for a minimum
of one inch and that is recommended
by the Commissioners. and the bill pro-
viding for the minimum pressure of one
inch should be passed. would you ever
get any more than one inch there?
Mr. LIE Clerc--I think that Ii the COM
pany is going to give US a main sufficient
to supply Us with one inch, ii Is tn their
interest to supply a main for the future.
There are three four hundred houses
being built UP in that neiShborhood this
very minute, and it seems to me that
they would look from their own financial
standpoint and provide main that would
supply not only one inch. but a main thak
