THE PEOPLES HEALTH PRO-
TEcTED.

II seems that everything possible
without actually shutting on the gas
supply, has been done to protect the
health of consumers of gas in this
city. After conference with the
officials of the Newport Nows Gas
Company yesterday, DR.. +. !. Pretlow

sentative Of this paper that the COM
lany's action in having the purify
,ag boxes at the plant cleaned daily
will practically free the gas from the
t.isagreeable and dangerous fumes
about which there has been so much
talk, aud that the consumers VIII
run no great risk in continuing to
use the gas during the next few
weeks pending the arrival OF new
equipment which has been ordered
by the company.

isiei that this grave danger IS r.
moved for the present and that the
daily cleaning OF purifying renders
the gas harmless, it would be foo:-
