USE OF GAS INCREASES
Coal Shortage and Cool Weather Coni- bfne to Boost Demand for Gas By 15 Per Cent.

Harry T. Sloper, manager of the New Britain Gas Light company this afternoon stated that on cold days within the past winter there has been an increase of 15 per cent in the number of cubic feet of gas consumed in this city, due chiefly to the short age of coal.
 MT. Sloper states that in many homes, when the days have been cold and there has been little fuel. the people have burned gas in order to keep warm and because of this fact the daily output at the gas plant has increased.
 On days such as today, however, when the weather is moderate, the consumption is no greater than it was last year. The production of gas at the New Britain plant has been very ragged, Mir. Sloper states, inasmuch as warm days have followed cold ones and there has not been a long cold wave
