LAW MUST Be FAIR
TO GAS COMPANIES,
SAYS BUREAU HEAD
Director Stratton Declares
Public Confidence Is
First Essential.

"O,.e Of the essentials for the success
OF a publlc service corporation Is pub
lie confidence. and by no other means
can it surely gain this as by q feeling
of security on the part of the public
itself. On this basis any equitable law
and its enforcement should be welcome
to tie company as an aid to the main.

and the public"
This is the view of Director Stratton
of the Bureau of Standards, with re-
spect tc all gas companies. and conse.
quently the washington Gas Light
Company, In an official pamphlet on
the official testing. inspe ction, and regu.
lation of illuminating gas making. the
Bureau of STANDARDS cites the most
dependable methods in an effort to gel
Getting back to the interest Of the
companies, Dire ttor Stratton continues
"A further advantage to the gas com,
panv If such public confdonCe is tho
prevention of the passage of laws and
ordinances which are unl&r to ,l4
company. or the enforcement of laws ir
such a way as to be unjust to the
manufacturer. The members Of stat,
legislatures and city councils are usual

Hence it is important that reliable and
carefully collated information should
be made ,avaiiable TO state and city Of
legislators to formulate laws or NUM-
cipal ordinances. or as executives tc
carr ont existing regulations"
The bureau hopes to unity inspection
and testing methods, and to bring about
accurate measurements Of gas through.
out the country.
The investigation did not go into thC
financial regulation of gas companies
or the comparative value of variou,
methods employed in management L
dealt rather, with methods of testint
and the regulations for the quality o
gas and gas service.
Coincident with the report from tht
Bureau of Standards, DIR. Joseph A
Holmes, director of the Bureau o
Mines, made a speech before the Ma
tional Academy of Science IN which r.,
declared that more natural gas ha
been wasted in the United States IL
the last year than the aggregate of al
the manufactured gas for the entlr
country. He added that during tn

DR.. Holmes declared that ut the pres
ent rate the nations resources would b
exhausted while the nation was still il
it's infancy. He illustrates the need
of greater mine safety mea asures, callin
attention to the appalling loss of If
