The frenzied occupants crawled out
of windows or climbed to the roof
whence they jumped into blankets held
by firemen. A woman clasping her

the Light. Heat & Power company
would not be benefited in the least
by the proposed reduction in rates
the first of the year.
In order to prove his statement he
showed bills from the Light, Heat &
Power company on the Richmond
Natural Gas company, for between
1000 and 5000 cubic feet which had
been burned for lighting only and in
variably the rate was the same, $1.OO
per thousand cubic feet. whereas the
Light, Heat and Power company claim
the rate for gas used for lighting pur-
poses alone is now $3.50 per thousand
cubic feet. with 20 percent reduction
If paid before the tenth of the month,
making the net price at present $1.20.
Mr.. Hibberd declared that the Light,
Heat & Power company knew that his
company used artificial gas for light
ing purposes alone. He stated that
there were other similar cases in the
city and that the decrease in rates of
artificial gas was more to the advant-
age of the large consumer.
To Open New Field.
Asked if the supply of natural gas
was short Mr.. Hibberd replied that
it had been short for the past few
weeks. but that a new pumping station
was being erected at New Lisbon.
which should be completed today and
as a result Richmond would receive
a more direct pressure and more gas.
He said he thought that the supply
would be greatly increased in a few
days as the fifty or sixty wells at New
Lisbon and also those west of New
Castle were in good condition and far
from being dry
