THE GAS SITUATION

While we do not wish to be too
optimistic in regard to the natural
gas situation, it may be said that
it is looking very favorable and, pro-
viding nothing occurs to interfere
with the major side of the work, we
may reasonably hope for gas within
two weeks or one month. The man
agement has been up against hard
job, but they have worked like beav-
ers and we hope the result will JUS
tify their efforts.
