GROWTH OF THE
GAS COMPANY
INCONSISTENCIES OG GENERAL
MANAGER ROSCOE NETTLES
PRAISED BY TAMPA TIMES

Inc Telegram referred yesterday 10
the splendid record Of the Lakeland
Gas Company, which is a branch of
the Tampa Gas Company, and men
toned in that connection the man
ager, Roscoe Nettles, of Tampa. The
Tampa Times of last night in its
Who's Who column, speaks very
complimentary of Mr.. Nettles, and OF
the work Of the gas company IN Tam
pa Lakeland and Plant City, where
they operate. 1t says;
Back in 1903 Mr.. Nettfes, son o.
man who has spent years in the
gas business came to Tampa from
Orlando as city salesman of the Tam
pa Gas Company, and Immediately be-
gan a career which placed him in the
enviable position of one of the young
est gas company managers in the
country. From that year on, in addi-
ton to bending every effort to make
the gas company model utility cou-
Germ, he has constantly widened his
scope of public work. and has at the
same time assisted in organizing and
directing the electric light companies
at Plant City and the gas company
at Lakeland. which the same cap
italists are interested.
When Mr.. Nettles began work for
the company the charge for gas was
S2.25 per thousand feet, but since
that time a reduction to $1.S5 with
10 per cent off for prompt payment
has been made. Gas, therefore has
not been allowed to keep pace with
the celebrated high cost Of living in
Tampa. 1t is one of the few COM
modities in which substantial de-
crease in price has been made.
In 1914 the stockholders of the
Tampa Gas Company organized the
Lakeland Company, began work on
the plant April 1, 1915, and gas was
first turned into the mains during the
following month of July. Then, in
1916, the Plant City Electric and Ice
Company was organized. The com
panies of the two smaller cities are
conducted on the same high plane as
the Tampa Gas Company, and their
patronage has shown growth since the
day on which they began operations
Like his older and more widely ex
perienced associates, Mr. Nettles is 9
firm believer in implanting as much
beauty and idealism in business as
possible, and much of his time has
been devoted to letting the worli
know of Tampa's advantages. II
1916 he brought he members Of the
Southern Gas Company, of which he
was elected president, to the city and
the entertainment afforded them add
ed greatly to Tampa's already estab
lished fame for hospitality. A souve
mir issued on the occasion proved t.
be one of the most effective advertis
ing mediums ever issued in Tampa''
behalf, with Lakeland included. Th'
Plant City company had not been or
ganized at that time.
: 1T SENS to me-" said Mr.. Nettles
a chat the growth OF Tampa and sec
. ton could not be more thoroughly II
, Illustrated than in the manner in which
!, patronage of the Tampa Gas Compan,
n in every line, has grown and in tn
fact that establishment of the plant
q at Lakeland and Plant City has BEEF

o to serve such people and to be asso
= ciated with men Of the type who owI

BOYS KILL A
BIG WILD CAT
HE WAS ABOUT TO SPRING ON
THEM.

Wagner Williams, seventeen year
old son of Mr.. Van w. Williams of
Grenada, accom- by several Of
his boy frie,.sts ouldered his gun
and wesS -o0ut four miles west
dow. so <alobusha river last Satur
x~ "a hunt. Their meanderings
: ...led them into one of the densest
piece Of woods in that part of the
country. But instead Of finding
squirrels or bi1d as they hoped, they
found big wild cat or catamount.
The animal was perched upon the
limb of somewhat stopping tree and
when first seen by young Williams, he
was alone, and he insists that he be
lieves that had he not shot when he
did that the cat would have leaped On
him. He shot and wounded the beast,
but as the animal hit the ground
he set up such a noise as would al
most stampede company of military
The negro, who had joined inthe hunt
and the other boys at first started to
beat hasty retreat, young Williams
says, but another shot from his gun
ended the noise and laidthecatamount
low on the ground The boys got
their capture to town and quite a
large number gathered to inspect
what is now getting to be rare ami
NAL in these parts.
Some neighbors near by where the
cat was killed state that there were
two of them and that their poultry
yards as well as pigs have been fur
nishing feed for them.
Only in the reaiest instances have
wild cats been known 10 attack 4 hu-
man being in this section but the kill
ing Of this cat calls to mind the
panther which attacked Mr.. Tom
, Terrell only about one mile from
there some forty or more years ago,
This gentleman had been to Grenada
and was riding along the public road
in the night time not far from what
is now known as the old Howard
place. In going up a hill where
there was a considerable embankment
on either side, panther leaped up be
hind him on his horse and began a
murderous charge Mr. Terrell
reached for his pocket knife and ap-
piled the blade as best he could with
the result that the panther let go and
ran off into the woods. Mr.. Terrell
was not seriously hurt. The next
day a panther was killed about two
miles from there on the north side Of
the river and his body told the story
Of his attack the night before on Mr..
Terrell. Possibly Wagner Williams
wild cat thought he would in part
duplicate the panther's performance,
