Fredericktown people are wondering
what they are going to do for gas this
winter. If we have as severe cold
weather as last winter and there Is
as great a call for gas by our indus
tries the pipe lines will again be in
adequate to supply the demand. Some
time ago the business men of this
place discussed the matter of petition
ing the company to put in another
main from the gas field but the repre-
sentative of the Ohio Fuel and Gas
company agreed to inform the COM
pany of the needs here and that per-
haps they would take the initiative
without the petition. Mr.. Lowell there
upon started the request along the
proper lines and there is some pros
pect that before bad weather sets in
provisions against winters demands
will be taken care of. In the mean
time the coal men and those selling
coal heaters are busy booking orders
as the people do not want to take
chances of another freeze out this
winter. 1t is to be hoped that new
line will be laid before long.
