Warning to keep gas burners
turned out during the hours of low
pressure was issued today by ]. D.

Forrest said.
IF an attempt is made to use gas
when the pressure IS low it should be
watched carefully"
Mr. Forrest said he had not investi-
gated the case Of Mrs. Mounts, but that
pressure records show that the death a
week ago of a colored mail employed st
the home of D. ". Howe, 1908 North
Delaware street, could not have been
caused by pressure changes.
Gas conditions show a marked improve
.ment, according 10 Mr.. Forrest.
