Inside Information on Gas Situation
Telling Why Ardmore Consumers Have
Heatless Stoves at Boosted Heat Price

"Wly do We not have gas? Here we
are at the edge of the greatest natural
gas field in Oklahoma, yet we shiver
ANA suffer in spite Of the fact that Il
is moi only November. with the sun
shining and the air dry. Everything
is right for a perfect and ample flow
of gas. Why don't we have it?"
This cmhodies fairly the predomi-
nGnt question in the Ardmore public
mind for the past forty eight hours
and repeatedly asked by Ardmore citi-
hcns during that time. An answer
was sought and brought information
that it condensed into the following
statement:
About eighteen months ago there
was a gas shortage. There were two
reasons, The wells that had been sup
plying Ardlnore were running low
The pipe line was leaking.
The gas company stated that new
pipe line was going TO be built and
that a new supply of gas would be Sc
cured.
Owners of gas wells in the field stat
Cd that thoy had millions Of cubic feet
Of gas they wanted to sell, that they
were trying to sell it to the local com
pany; that there seemed no disposition
On the part Of the company to buy.
We have the greatest natural gas
field in the state, 2j miles from Ard
more. yet the city is short on gas sup
ply" said one of the owners OF some
of the sdpply I'VE want TO sell our
gas. We want to sell it to the local
company. so that Ardmore will have the
5enefit of its own production. Texas
wants our gas. We don't want to have
to sch to TeVas--but we've got to sell
our gas"
According to owners Of production
the local company was given every op-
portuntN-was urged--to buy a supply
of gas. The company did not buy. in
spite of al the urging, in spite of the
torrent of complaints on service that
was pouring in ON the company.
eIdst fall, when the first cold spell
came, there was the expected suffer
ing from lack of supply Desperate
efforts were made by the company to
get gns-but the supply had been sold
to companies supplying Fort Worth,
Dallas and other north Texas cities.

BELGIUM AND HOLLAND

Paris, Wednesday, Nov. l2.-Alarm.
list reports of high tension and possible

member Of the Belgian delegation in

Recurrence Of these reports, which
have sprung up from time to time,
the Belgian says, has been caused by
the flag-burning incident at Breskens,
where Dutch sailors hauled down the
Belgian flag, trampled and burned it.,
