Red Gross Notes

The American Red Cross commits
sion to France has sent word that is
essential for all garments produced by
chapters to be distinctly and perma-
nently marked as donated by the Red
Cross.
Restrictions imposed by the Geneva
Convention permit the use of Red
Cross emblems only on articles in
tended for the use of military sick
and wounded and those actually en-
gagged in the care of such persons. A
standard label has been adopted for
use on all garments and should be
used on the articles sent out by each
chapter.
The United States commissioner of
internal revenue has ruled that the
Red Cross is exempt from all war tax
charges payable from Red Cross funds
for transportation of property by
freight and express, for transporta-
ton of persons, for telephone toll,
long distance messages and telegraph
messages.

GAS
WILL BE MADE
HERE NEXT FALL
Natural Gas Supply Will Be
Cut Off in October or
November.

Richmonds natural gas supply will
be exhausted the latter part of Octo-
Der or the first of November. accord
ing to N. H. Johnson, superintendent
of the Richmond Light Heat and Pow
er company.
A substantial increase in gas rates
will be necessary when the artificial
plant is put in operation, according to
Johnson.
The increase in rates will be made
necessary. Johnson said, because of
the incresae in the prices of all male
rials used in the manufacture of arti-
fetal gas.
The present price of natural gas
supplied in the city is 20 cents per
1000 cubic feet
While the public service commission
will set the exact price for the artifi-
cial gas. Johnson said that it might be
almost double the former standard
price of 81 per 1000 cubic feet.
Two Petitions Were Filed.
At meeting of the city council
Monday night City Attorney Byram
Robbins reviewed various proceedings
on the gas question in Richmond.
which has extended over a period OF
several years.
Two petitions were filed by William
A. Bond when he was city attorney,
seeking a decrease in rates. Both
petitions failing to accomplish their
purpose William J. Robbins, tLen
mayor of Richmond. refused to permit
a third petition and said the city
would take no further action on the
question.
q G
and other individuals, Bond filed a
mission seeking a decrease in rates,
but this effort also met with failure.
The city took no part in this matter,
Robbins said.
In September, 1917, the public SER
vice commission passed a ruling per
hitting an increase in gas rates. City
Attorney Bond then appealed the case
to the circuit court, but it was referred
back to the commission and sustained.
Robbins said that if the case was
brought to trial it was possible it
would result in an increase, as there
was absolutely no chance of a de-
crease in the rates. At his suggestion
the council therefore decided to dis
miss the case. A statement made by
tue CudlIIudl VI the service COIulIilS-
sion was cited as authority for this
fact by Robbins.
Johnson said that there was still
some doubt as to the kind of artificial
gas Richmond would have. There has
been some talk ,,f mixing the artificial
and natural gas hut this plan has been
tried, he said, and has not proven very
successful.
The artificial plant here Is prepared
with the exception of the building of a
side track. Contracts are already be-
ing made for coke, coal and oil.
Last winter the decreased gas pres
sure was plainly evident and it was
necessary to allot the gas on a pro
rata basis. Next winter there will be
no natural gas at all. The only thing
to be done, Johnson said, is to manu-
facture gas, and it is thought the Rich
mond plant will be in operation by the
latter part of the year.
