NATURAL GAS IS WASTED
BY KAN. AND MO. TOWNS

Natural gas, valued conscrvatively
at 100000 was wasted in a year
in a group Of Kansas and Missouri
cities ana towns, according to figures
just gathered by the United states
fuel administration. These figures
show wastes varying from - TO 70
per cent of the gas delivered to the
gates OF the cities and towns.
TO prevent further waste and to
determine whether the fault lies
with the wholesale or the distributing
companies, arrangements have been
made tO have all wholesale meters
In the affected districts checked BY
the division OF weights and measutes
OF the bureau OF standards.
In the entire district affected in
the | months from September. 1917,
TO August, 1918. grand total of
s,657, 7,l43,0OO cubic feet Of gas was
delivered and sales Of 6,G79,256. 600
were reported. showing a loss OF g.
97I,SS7,O00 cubic feet, or 4O5S per
cent
The cause Of this great waStage
Ia laid to poor construction OF lines
so that gas leaked out OF the pipes
The figures OF the fuel admins
tration were obtained from the sta
tistics Of the wholesale companies
as To the number OF cubic feet OF
gas delivered to gates Of the cities
and from the figures shown by the
meters OF the domestic consumers,
tho difference being the waste.
For years gas in these cities has
been purchased on a percentage basis
--two-thirds OF the retail price--by
the distributing companies from the
wholesale companies. In the pres
ent cases, each lays the blame for
the wastaRe on the other.
One result OF the wastaGe ia shown
by the fact that Kansas city, Kan.

to natural gas at $3.50.
officials OF the fuel administration
say that with the conservation which
should have been practiced these
cities could have had natural gas
at so cents n thousand for 90 years
but that they apparently considered
gas at that price so cheap that II
was not worth saving.
The fuel administr ration intends to

the United States has proved both our
ability and our willingness to devote
tens OF billions Of dollars to purposes
Of destruction and it is safe TO prophe-
sy that. after the treaty Of peace is
signed, we will devote millions Of dol
lars TO constructive work One OF the
things that must be done is to pro-
vide a great increase Of transportation
facilities. and unless we ignore the les
sons that the war has taught. we shall
do more than ever before for the i'm
provement and the use OF our water
ways and harbors.
Milford chronicle., 1918-12-13

THE NECESSITY for more arteries
OF transportation for the great in
crease in amount of freight which has
grown up in the past ten years is an
admitted fact by all who have taken
time to look into the business affairs
OF the United States. The railroads
have been unable to haul the freight
for more than ten years. while the
waterways seem to be unable to re-
lieYe the trouble completely. 1t is
now plain that permanent roads for
autotrucks will have to be built in
every State in the Union to permit the
business OF North America to grow
and prosper.
1t was demonstrated beyond all ques-
tion during the war that the railroads
alone cannot meet the traffic needs of
the country. One result was to throw
upon the highways a burden which
they were not built to carry. Some
roads were cut completely to pieces
and it IS probable that 100000 900
is a conservative estimate of the total
damage caused to the highways by the
heavy loads carried at high speed by
motor trucks.
It has always been recognized by the
Congress that the highway. the railway
and the waterway make up a trinity
of transportation agencies. which must
not only be symmetrically developed
but completely co-ordinated before we
can utilize all our natural resources
and SO attain the maximum expansion
Of industry and commerce and produce
continued increase Of national pros
perity and national power
During the past eighteen months

DELAWARE, thru the State High
way Commission. will build more than
one million, dollars worth Of modern
concrete and brick highways in 1919
A trunk line from Pennsylvania to
Maryland on the south will be COM
pleted. which will have an eastern as
well as a western branch reaching
from the Maryland line on the South
and meeting at or about the town of
Camden, in Kent county. 1t is planned
70 build in addition several roads
across Delaware from the bay shore
to the Maryland lines to connect with
the improved highways in that State.
This policy will have results in sew
eral ways. It will afford the people
splendid roads for truck and auto
travel, thus enabling the agricultural
classes. as well as the business inter-
ests, TO transport their freight more
promptly and at less cost. 1t will abb
sorb the labor which has been and will
be out Of employment at the muni-
tion works over the eastern part of
this country and start the wheels of
industry in supplying materials for
road building Both of these are of
prime interest to the farmers, the fruit
growers and the business interests of
Delaware. What Kent and Sussex
counties will do in the way of road
building largely depends upon Legis-
lative action. All road work in the
counties should and must be put out
Of the reach OF politics and to do this
it is necessary to place all authority
for road work under the direct author
ity of the State Highway Engineer
This can be worked out thru county
engineers, who must submit their plans
for approval. and when the work is
completed it must be inspected and
approved by the State Highway En-
yineer before any payment can be S
made from the county treasury. A
method of this kind will assure ef-
'ective work being done after engin- ;
'ering knowledge and plans have been /
made. Let the people get down to

EACH PERSON who enjoys shoot
ing in the fields of Delaware should be
compelled 10 pay an annual license for
cunning, which license to be not less
than one dollar. The game-hogs, un-
der the present laws as administered
by the State OF Delaware, kill game in
or out of season. without regard for
anything other than the United States
Game Laws. Without the individual
license there is no funds to pay for
special game police wardens, and it is
for this reason that there is a howl
from the men who want to overrun
the country and kill games indiscrim-
inately. The ducking laws are broken
each summer along the Delaware bay
shore. irresponsible men and boys
throw lighted matches down in dry
fields or wood lands and from these
grow damaging woods fires which cost
the land owners hundreds of dollars.
u the sport Of cunning is worth hav-
ing it certainly is worth protecting,
and it cannot be protectde without each
individual bears his proportional part
and one dollar each year is a very
small sum 10 give up Sor the cunning
