peting service that could be Sc
cured"
Mr.. Van H. Manning, Director
of the United States Bureau of
Mines, said:
investigations as to the eff
cheney with which the domestic
consumer uses the gas supplied
to him have disclosed that per-
haps two-thirds of the gas that
has been metered into his house
has been wasted and only one
third of the gas has been con-
sumed usefully."
ut is time for the public to
take a new viewpoint on the
waste of natural gas. 1t is time
for the domestic consumer to
realize that his duty is not done
when he cries out against the
flagrant wastes occurring in the
gas fields, and demands of his
Government that such wastes be
abated; he must realize that he
himself is likewise at fault and
that it is time for him to set his
own house in order. Further
more, the domestic consumer
must realize that these wastes do
not concern him alone, and
consequently he has not the
right, merely because he pays for
the gas, to employ it in any man.
ner that pleases him, no matter
how wasteful. Natural gas is a
natural resource in which every
inhabitant of this country has an
equity. Those who waste the gas
do SO at the expense of others
who would use it efficiently.
Natural gas is not replaced by ma
ture, and in comparison with the
life of the nation the duration of
the supply will be brief"
At the conference on natural
gas conservation held under the
supervision of the Department of
the Interior at Washington on
January Is, 1920, a Natural Gas
Conservation Committee was
appointed to cooperate with
the United States Bureau of
Mines in working out a construc-
tive program for the conserva-
ton of natural gas, and that COM
mittee and the United States Bu-
reau of Mines has requested the
Public Utilities Commission of
the various states to adopt the
following regulations in regard
to the use of gas, and to enforce
them:
PROPER adjustment of all ap-
pliances to insure the best com.
bination, use of grid or skeleton
lids on all cooking stoves, elm
ination of all heating furnaces
having an efficiency of less than
IS per cent, elimination of all
tank heaters which do not have
jacketing and flue connections,
absolute prohibition of all day
light burning of lamps and gas
jets"
The average consumer be-
lieves that the leakage on his
premises amounts to nothing. If
the leakage amounts to only one
foot on hour, while the amount
of gas that would leak would not
be sufficient to endanger him or
his house, yet the leakage would
amount to nearly nine thousand
cubic feet a year, which would
mean that the leakage on his
premises would amount to more
than one months average con-
sumption of gas. This is some
thing that only the consumer,
and not the gas company can
correct.

The Waste of Natural Gas
in the Home


last we dealt with the waste
of gas by the producer, and
showed that the remedy for
it was to make the gas
worth enough to him to fur
nish him an incentive to save
it. In our last article we
dealt with the waste Of gas
in wells having a pressure
too low to put gas in the
pipe line, and showed that
the remedy for that was to
make the gas worth enough
to justify the purchase, in
stallation and operation of
compressors or mps
which would force the gas
into and through the pipe
line.
Since our last article our
attention has been called to
a statement in regard to
saving and using the gas
from low pressure wells
made by Samuel S. Wyer,
a consulting engineer Of the
United States Bureau of
Mines and formerly chief of
the Gas division of the
United States Fuel Admin
istration, which statement
was made before the Con-
ference on Natural Gas
Conservation held in Wash
ington on January Is, 1920,
under the auspices of the In
terror department. Mr..
Wyer said.
Furthermore, as natural gas
supplies become exhausted it is,
OF course, necessary to use COM
pressing stations to supplement
the rapidly declining rock pres
sure. If the gas price level in the
field is high enough there is al
most no limit to the amount of
COMPRISING station equipment
that can be installed. In fact, you
can go SO far as to actually pump
the various wells and get the
residue supplies out which are in
the sand and which can be taken
out only slowly and which will
have no reserve capacity for peak
loads, but those small supplies
could actually be pumped or
sucked out of the ground slowly
for many years. Therefore, the
whole conservation question sim
mers down to one fundamental
economic principle; make natur-
al gas worth saving and con-
servation of the gas will take
care of itself, and without an
adequate price there will never
be adequate conservation"
But by far the greatest waste
of gas is by the consumer himself
in his own home. This waste is
in four main forms: First, leak
age on the consumers premises;
second, burning gas longer than
either necessary or comfort re-
quires; third, burning gas in in
efficient appliances; and fourth,
burning gas in improperly ad-
justed appliances.
Franklin X. Lane, Secretary
of the Interior, in calling the
Conference on Gas C Conservation,
which was held in Washington
on January Is, 1920, said: "The
natural gas situation is acute.
Domestic consumers waste more
than 500 of the gas received.
The Morning Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Okla.) 1919-1927, 1920-06-27

appliances can be trebled so as
to make one foot of gas do the
work of three"
John S. Killing of the Public
Service Commission Of Pennsyl-
vania said: Prompt measures
should be adopted and put into
execution to stay the hand of
further waste before it is too late.
Its consumption should only be
permitted under a strict enforce
ment Of reasonable rules result
ing in its economical use. Those
failing to comply with such rules
and regulations should be denied
its benefit"
Samuel S. Wyer said:
"The domestic consumer, after
getting the gas delivered to his
premises by the gas company,
wastes more than 80 per cent of
the gas received. A very large
part of that waste can easily be
eliminated. Based on all of the
data that we were able to obtain
and on the gas conservation of
the Fuel Administration, we
found that as an average, taking
the total amount of gas reduced
to possession in the field as 100
per cent-that is, the gas after it
passes the first gate at the we'll
in the field and, of course, ex-
Guiding the enormous waste in
the underground formation and
the enormous waste in drilling,
but starting with the well when
the gas is reduced to possession
and taking that as 100 per cent
that the average for all COM
panies in the United States was
that 80 to 35 per cent of that gas
was lost between the we'll and the
consumers meter. That is, the
gas company delivered some
where between IS and 70 per
cent of the gas received. That
included transportation, dis
tances in many cases more than
200 miles. The domestic con-
sumner taking that gas at the do
mestic meter then proceeds to
take that 65 per cent which is de-
livered to him and very promptly
wastes more than 80 per cent of
that. So that of the total per-
centage in the field that starts
to market more than so per cerN
is wasted on the consumers
premises"
Again Mr.. Wyer said:
at depends entirely on the
public's attitude as to whether it
thinks it worth while to make
that gas worth saving as to
whether any saving can be ef-
fected either by the consumer ~
by the gas company. In other
words, a consumer that thinks so
little of natural gas service that
he will not spend a few dollars to
have has gas stove repaired will
very shortly have no gas service;
when he does not have any gas
service he has then got to get an
other fuel. When he gets another
fuel, if he gets manufactured gas
he will have to buy a new stove
which will mean a large cash
outlay; if he gets a solid fuel or
liquid fuel he will not only have
to buy a new stove, but he will
have to pay very much more for
his fuel. Therefore, the public
always get the best of any price
relationship that could possibly
be considered in the sale of nat
ural gas.
'In brief, if natural gas were
sold at $1.00 per 1000 feet, the
public would still be getting the
benefit of $1.50 per 1000 as

We find that the salaries nov being

had for the fnculcation OF a true and

the attention. W the board of educa-
tion for the City of Delta, and the at
tenti0n Of the superintendent of

ing such increase in the salaries OF
