'KEYPORT CAS-
SERVICE POOR
Storekeepers Compelled to
Use Oil Lamps and Candles
Housewives Also Complain

KEYPORT. August Mot only
are the housewives of the borough
suffering from the poor gas service
but the merchants as well, for on
Saturday evening several of the
stores who use gas for illumination
were forced to resort to oil lamps or
candles. On Saturday as usual dur
ing the summer the gas supply was
not sufficient for cooking and those
desiring to do so were forced to resort
to other means.
Although better gas service has
been promised 1t is not as yet notice
able. On Sunday morning those de-
string to cook found no fame at all
on the gas stoves and wood and coal
fires were built by many, while others
who were fortunate enough to own
an oil stove used that.
The only time owe the week ends
that the consumers are able to secure
sufficient gas for cooking purposes is
between meal times, when a hamc
can be secured.
Superintendent Garrison. OF the
Standard Gas company, was present
at a recent meeting of the borough
council and stated that a new boiler
for the plant which presumably had
been shipped in May had not as yet
arrived at the plant, that the labor
conditions were 10 unusual and that
the boiler now in use had not been
cleaned since February and that
altogether conditions were existing
which he was unable to remedy, but
that he was exerting every EFFORT to
improve the service.
Those present at the meeting felt
that Mr.. Garrison was not to blame
for the inadequate supply. but. even
so the lack Of service is most dis
~couraging to the consumer who pays
a higher rate now than formerly with
the service poorer.
