Gas Company to Take lmme-

CLEAN PURIFYING BOXES
othcials Tell Health Board That New
/. Fixtures VIII be installed Within
Two weeks--Pisnt Too Small to
Supply Demand.

Oflciais OF the Newport News Gas
Company yesterday promised the city
health bosid that immediate steps
win be taken 10 purify the gas now
being furnished by the company. IN,
Oh the new and larger purifying
foxes can be installed Inc Later part
of this month, the only relief that the
company can offer IS TO clean the
present purifying boxes every day
There seems TO be some question as
TO whether or not this will give the
consumers absolutely pure gas. but
*. Thomas J. Pretlow. the city health
oficer. believes that II win greatly
relieve the situation.
Conference Held.
General Manager w. w. s. Butler,
Attorney Z. VI. Braxton. counsel for
the gas company, and George A.
Schmelz. held conference with the
health board at the city hall yester-
day afternoon and the situation was
carefully gone over. Mr.. Butler stat
ed that the large purifying boxes nad
been ordered and would be installed
with ten days or two weeks. lie said
that the company was anxious 10
remedy conditions as quickly as pos
sible aud that pending the arrival or
the equipment the present boxes
would be cleaned out every day and
new purifying materials put In them.
DR.. Pretlow stated at the confer
ence that Il would not take an expert
or physician 10 tell that the gas
which the comfany has been furnish
ing was Injurious. He said that the
fumes given OF were dangerous in
that they irritated the Lungs and so
weakened persons as to make them
susceptible to disease.
Forces Gas Too Fast.
DR.. pretlow made an inspection OF
the gas plant Thursday. He says that
he believes that one of the troubles
il that the plant is unable TO meet
the demands for gas and that the gas
is being forced through the purifying
boxes too rapidly.
DR.. Pretlow says that In the future
II the consumers of the gas feel any
III effects from It's use for cooking
CT lighting purposes that 1t would De
best to stop the use OF gas. II seems
that the fumes given on are more
pronounced In some houses than In
others and this has led the health
authorities 10 believe that In some OF
the houses the gas pipes are leaking.
This theory was advanced at yester-
days conference and the gas officials
stated that they would gladly examine
the fixtures In an house upon request.
