KEYPORT GAS CONSUMERS
STILL WITHOUT SUPPLY

KEYPORT, Aug. 1o.-Despite
the fact that II was stated by the
gas company that when the new
boiler had been placed at Atlantic
Highlands he past week that the
borough would receive ample gas
supply to more than fulfill its needs
once more over the week end the
Keyport consumer was without gas
and was forced to resort TO coal
and wood fires and oil stoves.
This condition has now existed
all summer and Is more than an
noying to those who try to cook.
On Saturday and Sunday in many
homes no gas flame for cooking
could be secured at all, but on Mon
day morning there was a good how
of gas. Consumers attribute this
to the fact that the crowds who
spend the week end at Keansburg
have returned by that time and the
gas flow is once more about nor
NAL.
In spite of promises for better
service, the same conditions exist
particularly over tht week ends and
nothing seems to be done to aid the
Keyport consumer.
