NO GAS AFTER NEXT YEAR.
Kansas Natural Gas Company Moves
Scipio Plant.

Kansas City, April 12.-It is prob
able that the Kansas City Gas company
NAV not be able to furnish gas to the
city after next winter.
A. B. Macbeth, general manager of
the company, is authority for the
statement that his company will at
tempt to furnish this city gas one more
winter, but makes no promises beyond
that.
The pumping station now at Scipio
is to be moved to the Oklahoma gas
fields to help out the machinery which
is inadequate for furnishing suffi-
Gent supply of gas, because of the
constant diminution of pressure.
At the present time there is a
pumping station at Graham which
lifts the gas as far as Scipio. The
Scipio pumping station then shoots
the gas to Kansas City. when there IS
any gas to shoot 1t is now asserted
that the Scipio station is useless and
that it never has materially benefited
the gas pressure at Kansas City or
anywhere along the line above Grab
ham.

occupying the voters of to-day, and
third, of public enterprises of interest
to the citizen, such as the movement

discussion of each question includes
the arguments for and against pro-
