The gas problem is great one. and
II has not been solved to the satisfac-

manufacturers.
But the men along the street. who
use little gas, because they close up
their offices before dark and warm

steam heat are little concerned

Thus spoke one OF them.
Not only is there an insufficiency

hard to get to lay the pipe. and the
price is high The city has no money
to buy the pipe, SO what are you 60

The pipes are going TO be laid The

who knows the people may help by
using Just as little gas az NAV be

with the let-up Of a lot OF the

builders hone early in the spring to

the cooperation of builders and con

will be considerable small necessary

is far beyond the supply, and with
prospects OF an exodus Of mechanics
