COMPANIES MAY
METER GAS FREE
Judge Raymond Sustains 3
lnjunCtiOns Brought
Against COuntians.

Gas companies may attach meters
on free gas supplies according to a
ruling OF Judge Raymond In Circuit
court. The court has sustained three
iniunctions sought by the Pittsburgh
and West Virginia Gas company
against Elmus Richardson, Newton
Jones and Corbin c. Shroyer. which en-
joins them from interfering with the
installation OF meters, maintenance o.
them and reading Of the same Rich
ardson owns a tract OF Is acres along
iIelen's run: Jones a 65-acre tract
along Mn Fall run. and Shroyer two
tracts OF 50 and 2S acres along Mill
Fall run.
The ruling Is an important one be.
cause IL affects the free gas cOnsum-
ing purlic Of the county. The Pitts
burgh and West Virginia Gas company
some weeks ago was represented I'm
court by Attorney II. II. Rose who ask
ed that the company be granted the
privilege Of meteing the free gas
claiming that the public service Com.
mission expected them TO keep tabs
on IL and the most accurate way was
10 meter t. Some OF the gas owners
took the stand that inasmuch as they
constructed their own line 10 convey
he free gas that II was their proper
~ and that the company had no righ'
20 have anything 20 do with their line
The gas companies il is reported
claim that too much free gas is beirg
wasted and that this is a measure o.
conservation.
