AN IMPORTANT OPINION
ON SLOT GAS METERS
Recent Decision By Court of Appeals
Or Local Interest

Among the decisions lately handed
down hy the Court of Appeals was
one of very great Importance both TO
gas companies in Maryland and par
ties using the slot gas-meters.
John F. Martin, of Annapolis. was
the owner of a cafe in this city. and
used the slot gas-meter. He brought
action against the Annapolis Public
Utilities Co. for 'maliciously. wrong
fully. without just cause, and with the
intent to inlure the the plaintiffs
business. cutting on his supply of
gas, and obtained Judgment against
the Company. The Company appeal
ed. Below two prayers of the Com
pany We're rejected They were that
the plaintiff, Martin. had no legal
right to recover and that he owed for
gas when the connection was severed.
Martins gas bill in January. 1916.
was S2050. and in February, 1916.
S2450 In March there was found
only S11 in the slot machine for the
money paid for gas used. The ma
chine was tested, and the errors cor
rected, and it was found that the gas
consumed amounted to S23.75. The
maid employed at the cafe said that
the usual amount of business had been
done during March as in other
months. The Court OF Appeals says
that the cash receptacle could have
been opened by one having key
and that by means of wire the
money could have been extracted.
The Court OF Appeals says that the
evidence was perfectly clear that
Martin owed the Gas Company S11.s1,
and reversed Judgment below. with
out awarding new trial
The effect of this decision appears
to be that the user OF slot gas
meter is responsible to the Gas Com
pany for the safety of money once
paid for gas. and is it's insurer until
il reaches the hands of the Gas Com
pany.
