makes it easy for me to do a lot of

WANT CHECK
ON PRESSURE
City Council Asks Gas COMPANY to
Install Recording Guage in
tho City Hall For
a Record

Complaints about too little pres
sure in the gas mains have become
so general and emphatic that the city
council has been moved to try to do
something to correct the evil
Manager Ingle, of the gas COM
pany, has been requested by the
mayor to install pressure guage in
the city hall which will record the
gas pressure at all times, as the wa
ter pressure is recorded there With
this recording guage In use, the mat
ter of pressure will become a simple
one.
Manager Ingle. has been denying
and explaining about the pressure
for some time. He says the COM
pany wants to maintain a pressure
of two and half inches in the
houses, which means five inches at
the plant. The Gate City had
gauge on. for week, during which
time the pressure fell below two and
half inches number Of times, in
its mechanical department Manager
Ingle says former lessening of pres
sure was due to trouble in mains,
which had been remedied, but it was
after this remedying that the pres
sure fell below normal a number of
times
This morning the gas pressure was
so low for SO long in The Gate City
department that four
typesetting machines were delayed
enough to lessen their output sew
eral columns Of type in these rush
times, when every line set is an as
set to a newspaper.
Some industries in Keokuk cannot
operate with less pressure than two
and half inches, and the lower pres.
sure disturbs all gas stoves in homes
also.
If Manager Ingle will comply with
the mayors request to install re-
cording guage in the city hall there !
can be no dispute about the fact in |
any instace in the future.

by the reign of King Edward with
his friendship for France; the rise of
Delcasse, the French statesman, with
his marvellous grasp of world condi

Then he showed how William tried
