fore, we could reduce the

half and that would increase
the consumption so as to

We do not blame the Com

plicated business like the
making of gas. But we do
blame the diabOlical ineffici-
ency of the old-style city
government. When we have
arrived at the happy period
of possessing a city manager,
we shall know wherein lies
the blame; and we propose
to wage a vigorous campaign

DISINFECTION

Specific directions for disinfectiop
in every kind of communicable disease
would require a whole series of arti-
cles to themselves. In each case the
family should learn from the doctor
just how that particular disease is
communicated, just what discharges,
utensils, linen, etc, need to be disin-
fected, and just what disinfectants
he prefers to have used, but there are
few general rules that should be OBJ
served in any communicable disease.
The patients nose and throat dis
charges should be received only III
material that can be burned, like old
linen or muslin, gauze or paper nap
kins.
AS soon as they are soiled, these
handkerchief substitutes should be
placed in strong paper bags and after
wards burned. SoIled handkerchiefs
lurking under pillows or in other
parts of the bed may infect other peo-
pie or re-infect the patient. Hend-
kerchiefs that cannot be burned should
be placed as soon as soiled in a cover
ed receptacle filled with cold water
containing a little washing soda;
when several have collected they
should be boiled in the same covered
receptacle filled with cold water for
about twenty minutes. After boiling
they may go to the regular laundry.
Cloths or cotton used to wipe the
eyes or to receive any other bodily
discharge should be collected in the
same way and burned. Everyone
should be taught in early childhood to
cover the nose and mouth with a hand
kerchief during coughing and sneez-
ing; if the patient has not already
learned to do so he must be taught
now. If the amount of expectation is
great, waterproof receptables should
be provided, which should be burned
with their contents.
The person who waits upon a per-
son with a communicable disease
should remember that her ten fingers
are the most active agents in distri-
buting the infection. After handling
the patient or anything that the pat
lent has touched, and whenever she
leaves the patients room, she must
scrub her hands thoroughly with
warm water, soap and a nail brush
/ She should not soil her hands unnec-
essarily even though she intends to
scrub them later. She must remem-
Der for her own protection to keep
her hands away from her mouth and
face and to cleanse them with especial

"Alexandria Gazette
Alexandria, Va.
Dear Sirs:- :,
Mr.. Henry B. Sargent has called
nv attention to your inquiry as to
what can be considered a reasonable
loss in total output of gas Like
many other questions, it is more
complicated than would appear.
The fact is that the unaccounted
for gas is by no means necessarily
leakage or loss and it may require a
skilled examination Of gas property
10 discover what proportion of the
unaccounted for is leakage and what
is otherwise to be accounted for. In
the first place, it is necessary that
YOU test your means Of measuring
Gas as manufactured at the gas
works and make sure that you know
with how much gas YOU start. This
is a fruitful source of mistake as to
the upaccounted for gas The next
point to look into would be thor
ough testing of the consumers me-
tiers in service. Contrary to the
popular deluSion the errors Of con
sumers' meters against the consumer
are of very gradual growth and
never amount to very large per-
centage. On the contrary, the errors
against the Company are often OF
quick growth and amount IN some
instances 20 passing all OF the gas
without registration; consequently, II
the meters have been neglected and
not kept in perfect condition there
can be very large item of gas I'M
paid for and accounted for.
Another source Of unaccOunted for
gas is due 10 difference in tempera>
ture and pressure at which the gas
is registered as made at the gas
works as compared with the tenn
perature and pressure at which the
gas is measured through the conSu,
mer'S meters These conditions re-
verse themselves in a climate like
New Haven so that the shortage
which occurs in Winter is somewhat
balanced by the average which oc-
ours in Summer. You Will readily
see that if the gas is measured at
high temperature at the gas works,
then distributed through consumers
meters at q lower temperature, there
will be shrinkage due TO tempera-
ture which will show up as an unac-
cunted for volume of gas.
In addition to the above points.
one should, Of course. examine care
fully the entire distribution system
to make sure that there are no large
leaks. l would say, generally speak
ing, that if the unaccounted for gas
is more than seven or eight per

REDUCED GAS RATES

The Gazette has been at
some pains to secure the gas
rates of other cities, that 1t
might have some definite
basis upon which to predi-
cate its demand for lower
gas rates in Alexandria. We
publish the letters today, and
they make mighty interest
ing reading.
The city of Lynchburg
has a rate of Ito for the first
10000 cubic feet, with cash
discount of 10 cents per l.
600 cubic feet.
Danville, Va, has a rate
of 1.2O, net, and while they
lost during 1921, they expect
to more than break even in
1922.
The city of Staunton, Va,
has a rate of 2.10 per 1000
cubic feet, and the City Man
ager says the people feel that
Staunton has one of the
highest rates to be found
anywhere.
Roanoke, Va, has a rate
of 1.5O net, for the first 5000
cubic feet.
Some of these gas plants
are privately owned, and
some are municipal. But
that is not a factor for con-
sideratiOn at present.
What the citizens of Alex
andria want, and what con-
stituteS a masthead slogan
of the Gazette, published
daily, is a cheaper gas rate.
We desire to call special
attention to two of the let
tiers printed today. The first
is the rate of the municipal
ly owned and operated plant
of Danville, Va, which is
only 1.20, and is in effect this
year, and which the superin-
tendent of the gas plant
says they hope to make
profitable, this year. The
second is the letter from the
New Haven Gas Light Co.,
in which they state that if
"the maccOunted-fOr gas is
more than seven or eight per
cent" a thorough examina-
ton should be made. Alex
andria, according to the
latest report issued by the
Committee on Light, and
printed in the last Annual
Statement of the Finances
of the City of Alexandria,
has a percentage of 39,1 per
cent, or 31,65S,900 cubic feet
of gas, MADE AND UNAC-
COUNTED FOR!
This is nearly one-half of
the gas manufactured. If

Editor:
Dear Sir:
Mayor Harper has referred TO
this office for reply your letter OF
the 18th instant relative to gas rates
This City is served by the Lynch
burg Traction and Light Company,
private Corporation who control the
street railway and electric light ana
power plant in addition to the gas
works. The present rates, which
were established a few months ago
after several hearings before the
State Corporation Commission, are
as follows: -
LIST. 10000 cubic feet. 49,. .!.a0
2nd 10000 cubic feet go. 'L61
3rd. 10000 cubic feet e. 80. 90
Next 10000 cubic feet .. :. l.5O
Next 10000 cubic feet =. E. .l.45
All over 100000 E. 49,. .... 30
A discount from the above rates
of 10 cents per thousand cube
feet is allowed for payment within
10 DAYS after the delivery of the bill,
The original rate in this City, re-
CARELESS of quantity, was l.2O per
thousand cubic feet less 10 cent
discount for 10 day payment. Later
the rate was increased to l.30 gross
less 10 cents for prompt payment.
At this late rate the Company OPP
Grated at loss for year or more,
following which they applied to the
Corporation Commission for In
creases. This application was fought
by the City with the result that the
present rates We're established last
year. The rates fixed by the Com
mission are somewhat less than those
which the Company set forth IN
their application for increase.
From information which we have
at hand we are. of, the opinion that
the present charges yield somewhere
around 10 per cent on the valuation
of the gas property fixed by the
Commission. This valuation. by the
way, is somewhat under that claims
ed by the Company.
Should there be any further IN.
formation desired | trust you will
not hesitate to so advise. '#
