GAS COMPANY TO
MAKE INSPECTION
OF APPLIANCES

Natural Gas Corporation of Cali
fornia has completed plans for an
extensive advance survey of gas ap-
plianceS in use in El Centro, SO that
the adjustments necessary may be
made with the least inconvenience
TO the consumer at the time the
new air butane gas plant is cut-over
sometime during the latter part OF
November or first of December.
This survey will begin next week.
at which time a crew of men will be
dispatched over the entire city to
make out cards for each residence
showing just what gas appliances
are in use and what adjustments
! will be necessary at the time the
new gas is turned into the mains.
This will make possible the assur-
ance that all of the necessary parts
and equipment are readily accesSi-
Bile and these adjustments may be
completed within very short
period of time.
All of these adjustments will be
taken care of by Natural Gas Cor
poration of California, with abso-
lutely no cost to the consumer. ac-
cording TO R. L. Hayden, district
manager, who goes on to state:
1T is our desire that the residents
of Ell Centro may have the most
modern and up to date gas plant
and distribution system for any city
of its size in the state, and that
they too may be able to take ad-
vantage of the new air-butane gas
which has been developed within
the past few years. For this reason
we have begun construction of the
new gas plant at the old site and
hope to have this completed by the
early part of November.
THE use of this new gas will not
necessitate the purchase OF new gas
appliances, but merely simple ad-
justment of the burners SO they will
operate efficiently with the new gas
which will be available at that time.
These adjustments will be made by
especially trained crews Of men who
have had a great deal of experience
in this work.
THE present survey Of appliances
will be of great help in making
these adjustments in the least pos
sible time when the plant is ready
to be cut-over, and we will sincerely
appreciate the complete cooperation
of our consumers in giving full in
formation covering the gas appli-
ances which they now have in use.
All Of our men will be properly
identified. so that patrons need not
hesitate to let them inspect appli-
ances and make any minor adjust
ments which may be needed at the
present time, after they have dis
played their identifications.
I'VE have been fortunate in Sc
curing the services of o. F. Ander-
son to supervise this work. Ander-
son has had a great deal Of expert
ence in the changeover appli-
ances for various companies
throughout the state, and We feel
sure he will complete the work III
El Centro in record time and to the
complete satisfaction Of all con-
sumers."
