Chance For City Seen.
Although Echols has Throughout

City Attorney Frank L.. Duncan, who
with c. y. Rogers. local attorney.
acted during the hearing on behalf
OF the citizens. believes there is n
fair chance that the commission will
issue an order that will bring at
least a modification OF present un-
reasonable conditions.
An order was issued by the COM
mission several months ago requir-
ing the gas company to Introduce
the 100 per cent efficiency" plan.
By the terms OF this order the gas
company must furnish a four-ounce
pressure n Il collects 100 per cent of
the gas bills from cunsumers. A
ihree-ounce pressure would entitle
the gas company to but 75 per cent
Of it's bill or a two-ounce pressure
so per cent OF the bill. There are 35
regulators within the city which in
dicate the pressure at every hour OF
the day. original records of these
gauges are furnished the corpora

them may he determined the pres
