GAS TROUBLE FOUND TO BE DUE
TO "SWAG' IN ONE or MAINS; rs ssgn.
sA ELIMINATED AND SERVICE GOOD

f. D. Shaffer, manager Of the
Chickasha Gas and Electric com
pany is jubilant today. So is the
trouble department.
The reason is that the trouble that
has been causing Chickasha house
wives to grow prematurely wrinkled
and to nurse a crouch by reason
Of the poor gas service, mas been
eliminated. Mr.. Shaffer believes that
in the future, everything as pertains
to the supply of gas in Chickasha
will be as serene and satisfactory
as June morning.
For several days d. Il. Burrett,
gas engineer of the Middle West
Utilities company, parent company
of the local and other similar con
Germs in II states, has been hunt
ing the cause of the trouble and yes
terday it was located at the corner
OF Seventh and Illinois and said trou-
BILE eliminated.
In explaining the cause Of the
trouble, Mr. Burrett pointed out that
there are two main lines leading
from the plant to the laterals cover
ing the city These lines are laid
along Ninth and Sixth streets, leav-
ing the plant and have branches at
various points. In hunting the trou-
Bile, tests were made at points sup
piled by both of these lines. 1t was
found by these tests that the Ninth
street line was practically dead, and
by working back on the line the
cause was located.
At Seventh street and Illinois ave
lue, some sewerage work was done
several years ago. In filling in after
this work, baled hay and other ma
terial had been used, it was pointed
out The probers found that at the
point in question, the dirt had set
llGu dilu IdU lGJ illO lCdu llnC liO4iA
the gas plant sag. 1t had settled
seven inches and as the pipe was
an eight inch pipe, there was an
opening Of only one inch through
which the gas might be carried on
to the points along the line, as the
sag in the pipe had accumulated
water.
The pipe was tapped at the point
OF the sag and the water let out
the trouble was ended
and the tests showed that there was
good service along the entire line.
81 think the troubel is ended now
said Mr.. Shaffer. 1t took two days
to locate the trouble and about Is
to eliminate it after it was
found"
