Columbus, o., Aug, 1.-THE office

Mecca Of gas men representing sew

is to induce the commission to follow
a different ruling in determining the
value OF their property than is fol-
lowed in the cases of other public
service corporations.
One point insisted upon by the gas
men was that every gas field be-
comes exhausted in a comparatively
few years, with the volume of gas
diminishing each year. For that
reason said Samuel T. Murdock.
