PIPED FROM OKLAHOMA FIELDS
Last Serious Gas Failure De-
Cured Three Years Ago.
Total of 215 Miles of Mains in
City of Topeka.

Topekans are assured an abundant
supply of gas during the winter
months. according to George J. Swan,
receiver for the Consumers Light.
Heat and Power company, gas dis
tributing agency in Topeka.
"Ofncials of the Kansas Natural
Gas company ON which the Con-
sumers company receives its supply
have told us that there is no question
but what Topeka will have a good
supply of gas this winter" Swan said
I'VE have practically no control
over the gas supply as it is furnished
by a separate organization, which
pipes the gas to Topeka from mains
originating north of Tulsa, Okla We
receive the gas at a distributing sta
ton at the juction of East Sixth and
East Tenth avenues. The mains to
this city are via Ottawa and the
pressure varies from twenty to sixty
feet. The pressure is broken to five
pounds at the distributing station and
reduced more at ten 2 Svernorign house
stations over the city
The last serious gas failure occurred
in Topeka about three years ago when
a peak load was reached Breaks in
the mains of the producing company
are sometimes unavoidable but are re-
paired at the greatest possible speed,
Swan said.
More Demand For Gas.
ss'The fuel oil situation has had very
little effect if any on the gas supply
for domestic purposes" he said. The
demand for gas this winter is about
twice as large as it was last summer.
I'VE are in the business for the
revenue derived and when the gas
supply is low and does not meet the
demand we are losing money. 1t is
the same way with the producing
company md it is to our interest to
supply all the gas possible
There are now more than 1920
meters in the city and we operate 215
miles of mains. With the laying of
the two new mains we will be able to
give our patrons improved service.
The mains in Kenwood are nearly
completed and we expect to start
work in the College Hill district with
in the next ten days"
