CompIaints are beng made from

corning the poor quality o gas when
!. icing furnished by the city gas

referring tn the matter. that the
idea Of the city dispensing practically
nothing more than hot air through
the pipes and then charging the con-
sumers for real gas is preposterous
ani little less than eXtorting money
from the people under false pre-
lenses. Hot air may be all right in
its place but not in gas pipe. The
ptbIlcatIOn O1 the taIette mas becn de-
layed on several occasions and will

that sufficient heat cannot he oo-
tained from the gas to melt the
metal used in the linotype machines

paper. When the comfort and con-
venicnce of the people is lnterfered

hel1 up. it is time something was
done besides mere talking. If the
fault lies in the fact that the city
officials are buying the cheapest
kind of coal they can find. in order
to save few dollars. let 1t be
known. If they are not at fault. in
Justice to them, that should he
