Hear the plaintive wall of the plumb
ers of Frostburg, MIDI
There are five plumbers in Frostburg,
and for six years they have plumbed
wisely and well, and prospered, as good
plumbers do.
Now comes along the West Virginia
and MARYLAND Gas Company with an
offer to plumb at cost, and the profits
of the five plumbers of Frostburg have
sprung leak.
Wherefore the five plumbers of Frost
burg have appealed to the Public Ser
vice Commission for reliet from this
oppression.
Unfortunately for the five plumbers,
however, the Public Service Commission
is unable to see how the Frostburg
public will suffer by the change.
Too bad for the five plumbers of
Frostburg!
