new BASIS OF
MEASURING GAS
USED PROPOSED
Commission Asked for Per-
nit to Employ Heat
Unit Basis.

Rate schedules under which it is
proposed to bill customers in Ham
mond, East Chicago, Whiting, Mich
igan City and adjacent suburban
communities on the basis Of heat
units used instead of the volume
Of gas consumed have been filed
with the Indiana public service
commission by the Northern Indi-
ana Public Service Company.
Specifically, the company asks
permission to issue its bills express
ing charges for gas used on the
basis of therms Of heat units rather
than in cubic feet as at present. A
therms is 100000 B. T. u, being the
technical name for British thermal
units. The proposed schedule is sim
liar to the one recently placed in
effect in Chicago by the Peoples Gas
Light and Coke Company, with the
approval of the Illinois commerce
commission.
The therm basis of billing, it is ex-
planned by Morse DellPlain, presi-
dent Of the company, contemplates
no change in the cost of gas service
to the customer. Furthermore, he
pointed out, if the therm basis is ap-
proved, the present cubic foot rates
will be continued in effect as op-
tional.
"An important reason for the
proposed change in the system of
billing" DellPlain says, SIS the fact
that arrangements have been COM,
pleted for purchase of petroleum re-
flenry gas in the vicinity of the cities
affected. This gas, like natural gas,
has a much higher heating value per
cubic foot than the gas with which
customers are now being supplied.
1T is planned to mix the petrol
cum refinery gas with the coke oven
gas now being supplied, thus in
creasing substantially the heating
value of the gas distributed to Gus
toners. Under the therm basis OF
billing. the customer will pay only
for the quantity of heat used, re-

which the heating value is con-

ANDERSON, Ind, Oct. 11.-Peti-

old method Of conducting night
school classes.
Under the old plan an enrolment
fee OF rs cents was charged and the
money was refunded at the end OF
the term to all students who at
tended three-fourths of the classes.
This year the school board decided
to make night school self-sustaining
by charging SO for academic classes

classes without refunds.
During the two semesters last

only eighteen persons enrolled on
