heavy demand on the gas supply. It
will cost the company several thou

The Sabraton plant is on the dead

when the domestic consumption dur
ing cold weather becomes heavy, the
plant gets only what is left. with no
pull beyond to increase the flow of

months last winter. the plant was OPP
Grated to only forty-nine per cent of

The latter fuel. 1t is said, is more
