SAN BERNARDINO. Dec. 16.-The
gas war which ragged for a number OF
years between the Home Gas company
and the San Bernardino Gas and Elec-
trio company is all over. In addition
to the advance of the latter company
of 25 cents per thousand recently, 1t
is now compulsory for all consumers TO
put up a deposit for meters. A portion
of the cost of making connections must
be met by the property owners. The
gas companies will make the connec-
tons as far as the point where the
meter is to be located, and the balance
must be paid by the owners of the
property.
The Home Gas company has passed
into the hands of the san Bernardino
Valley Gas company, and the other
concern has taken the name of the
parent system, the Pacific Light and
Power company.
1t is persistently rumored that the
gas system of the Pacific company is
to be turned over to the San Bernar-
dino Valley company, and at the same
time the Lytle Greek Power company,
purchased by the latter company, goes
to the former concern. eliminating all
of competition.
