The Impression Is general in congress
that Commissioner Caminetd will be

Commissioner Caminetti referred

Commission viii Test Gas
land Meters .3sx.
Mt. Vernon Man Is Arranging
The Standards

Columbus, Feb. 14-Gas consumers
who think they are being overcharged
during this cold weather soon will
have a chance to let the state public
utilities commission test their gas
and their meters. Announcement was
made at the offices of the commission
today that standard of purity for
natural gas will be established with
in few weeks. Apparatus to test the
quality of gas has been ordered to
be delivered probably next month.
Thereafter any citizen may enter COM
plant to the utilities commission,
and if these petitions are sufficiently
numerous from any locality, the com
mission will send an expert gas in
spector with the testing apparatus.
Legislation to establish this pro-
posed purity standard is not neces-
sary, the announcement from the
utilities commission said, for the
state utilities act gives the commits
sion authority to dictate this.
The standard established tentatively
by the utilities commission requires
between $50 and 900 British thermal
units in every cubic foot of natural
gas. Before this is made permanent,
gas companies all over the state will
be consulted and their approval Sc
cured.
Charles v. Critchfield is the COM
missions gas expert who is arrang-
ing the standards.
Gas meters are much like mothers
in law" said Mr.. Critchfield today.
"They are abused and usually are not
to blame for the high cost of living.
Gas offered by most gas companies
is as pure as it can be and few meters
make false records No gas company
would mix air with its gas for fear
of an explosion within it's mains.
Under ordinary conditions every
cubic foot of gas used can be account
ed for, and high consumption is not
caused by faults of meters"
Complaints that gas bills are ex-
orbitant, and do not show true con-
sumption have been pouring into the
offices of the utilities commission dur
ing the last week. They came today
from consumers in Cincinnati, Chilli
cothe, Portsmouth, Ironton, Washing
ton, c. H., and number of small
towns. Chillicothe gas users today
were still besieging Governor Cox
with petitions to ask the legislature
to establish purity standards. He had
taken no formal notice of the petit
tion today.
The request Of the Union Gas and
Fuel company at Cincinnati to test
the quality Of gas in its pipes to pro-
tect the company against complaints
of consumers that the gas is weak, y
will be complied with as soon as the
special testing apparatus is received,
it was announced.
The utilities commission is consid-
ering compelling all natural gas COM
panies to install calorimeters to test
their own gas.
Mr.. Critchfield admitted today leg
islation could not improve the quality
of gas, since this depends almost en-
tirely on it's nature as it comes from
the ground.
