With the bringing in a second big
gasser in the kibler field last ght,
producing as much as the d; -overy
well, which has liow of l ,000,0 900

company, to a member of the local
council, states that the company de-
sires to get it's affairs in position
without delay to make disposition of
the immense quantities of gas. you
can understand" the letter states,
Chat It best it will take few
monthsN get pipes laid from here to
your town. There is not any doubt
but that they will have gas in great
abundance and they desire to get it
en- the market. The towns and cities
the other side of Little Rock are pass
ing the ordinances as they have been
presented"
The ordinance granting the COM

is fixed at 25 cents per thousand
cubic feet. The maximum rate in
Little Rock is 40 cents and in Arka-
