An agreement was arrived at Fri.
day between the Public Service Com.
mission of West Virginia and the
Clarksbur Light and Feat Company
whereby another gas famine In the

made improbable,
The Clarksburg Light and Heat

or cause to be laid, extra supply lines
from the Phillips Sheet and Tin Plate
Company's big plant east of the city
and from the Hazel-Atlas glass plant
in the West End directly to big sup

Company. SO that, in the case. OF
another cold snap or gas shortage
from any other cause, these plants
would obtain a sufficient supply of
gas from the Hope company, inde-
pendently Of the Clarksburg Light
and Heat Company.
This would give an additional FIVE
million cubic. feet of gas daily for
domestic consumption and for use In

would be sufficient. It is thought, to
