news COMMENTS
ON GAS SUPPLY
AND new Rates

Editorially, The Indianapolis News
had this to say on the natural gas
situation:
When the public service commission
permitted Richmond corporation to
charge almost as much for natural gas
as for the artificial product, the pub
Nc inferred that the supply of natural
gas was fast diminishing. The latest
government report does not indicate
this. According to the United States
geological survey, natural gas con-
sumed In 1915 amounted to 62S,578,-
$4,000 cubic feet, per cent. in ex-
cess of the 1914 record. This gas had
a total market value Of more than
s10O,0OO,000. Ohio, Oklahoma, West
Virginia. Pennsylvania. Kansas and
California, In the order given, were the
principal producers to record in
creases. OF the total output, 217,202,-
$4,000 cubic feet went to domestic
consumers, who paid an average price
Of 1882 cents a thousand. This was
a gain Of % per cent over the previous
year.
Indiana occupies low place on the
list Judging from the present indi-
cations, the gas producing days Of
Indiana are over. Yet this Is by no
means certain, for in 1915 the yield
was increased in many localities.
Wells were drilled successfully in
places once regarded as non-produc-
tive Indiana's yield in 1915 was
$3.50, 733, 900 cubic feet, which brought
an average price of 30.76 cents thou
sand. The product had market value
Of $695,380. Much natural gas Is
piped into the state, so the consump-
ton actually was far in excess of the
yield. The report shows that West
Virginia produced. in 1915, 244,004,-
$4,000 cubic feet Of natural gas. 1t
is West Virginia gas that is used in
Richmond. Although Ohio registers
q larger proportionate increase in pro-
duction, West Virginia retained the
first place in total yield. With both
West Virginia and Ohio producing new
supplies 1t is difficult to see how Rich
mond. close to the Ohio border. should
be in immediate danger of fuel
famine. Yet this appears to have been
Iuc luCOiy upOu wAAOA INC NOAAAAAooAOA
acted.
The unofficial prediction Is made
that, as existing wells are exhausted,
every attempt will be made to find
new sources. This is not because Of
rise in the cost Of making gas, for the
contrary actually should be true,
owing to the profit in by-products. The
reason is that natural gas has been
found productive Of materials now in
keen demand. Last year, for ex-
ample, the casing head gasoline in
dustry had boom. This fuel Is OBJ
tanned from natural gas. In the year
the number Of extracting plants in
creased from 1856 to 414, and the yield
amounted to 65,364,66 gallons, gain
of SO per cent over 1914. Again West
Virginia stood at the head of the list
1t is indicated by the government re-
port that the natural gas industry
really is fourishing. This offers the
assurance that natural gas should
continue to compete in some terri
tory. with the artificial product Rich
mond may obtain some satisfaction
from this report,
