f. c. Dings was requested to talk
on the gas situation that confronts
this city. Mr., Dings stated that there
were four reasons why gas bills are
higher this month
First, the employees of the company
wanted TO get their December work
out OF the way early on account of
the holidays and the meters were
read early in December and that many
OF The bills were for more than
month. Some Of the bills cover 40
days Of service.
Second more gas is burned in the
holiday period than at any other time
Of the year. The young people are
at home, they are up at nights, part
les are entertained and during the
holiday period every family uses more
gas.
Third, the meter readings were in
the midwinter season; and, tourth,
the price has been raised.
Mr.. Dlngs stated that Oklahoma
would have profited if gas had never
been under 80 cents in the state, that
II would have led TO gas conservation
in the fields and in the homes and
factories would not have burned it up
and the homes would always have had
gas. That gas at 81 a thousand is
far better than coal and it is only :.
question Of time. said Mr.. Dings.
when we viii baye to 90 back 10
coal and wood.
The people have not been accustom-
ed TO applying conservation princi-
pies to gas consumption in their
homes and just as soon as this is
done the gas bills will not be but
very little heavier than they former
Is were.
Frank :. Gates expressed the opin-
ion that any man who paid $50 for a
quart of wet goods during the holi-
days and drank it in 80 minutes was
entitled to complain about his gas
bill
