DEATH TOLL MOUNTS

must be satisfied

THERE are some sections in the city in
! q which gas pressures are higher than the
six-inch pressure formerly allowed by the
Public Utilities Commission. This is not a new
condition, but has existed for some time pre-
vous to the reduction of rates. If it did, not
exist it would mean that many people would
not obtain satisfactory gas service.
Recognizing this and acting on the advice
of their own engineer, the Public Utilities
Commission at this time has raised the pressure
requirements to a maximum of eight inches.
Consulting engineers from the United Gas
improvements Company, one of the foremost
organizations of it's kind in the country, have
been in Washington for several months work.
ing with our own engineers on our distribution
problems and have already drawn up plans
which will be adequate to take care of any
demands in the next few years.
Approximately IS complaints have been re-
ceived by the Public Utilities Commission since
the first of January. We have 10000 GUS
TONER'S We would welcome hearing from any
one of them who feels that there is something
we can do to better our SERVICE We are anxious
and ready to do everything which is neces-
sary to insure complete satisfaction to our
customers
The Washington times., 1931-02-19

In this connection we should like to point
out that the January bill covered period of
IS days, or days more than usual. The major
ity of complaints have been satisfactorily ex-
planned by this one fact alone.
We have not been able to trace any direct
relationship between the pressures carried by
us and high bills. The engineer Of the Public
Utilities Commission reported that high pres
sures might cause an increased consumption
of something less than TO-"
An eight-inch pressure will mean plentiful
supply Of gas and large flame. This may
make gas appliances inefficient if the flame
is turned up higher than is necessary to do the
job In most instances this can be controlled
by the user. If, however, in some cases, more
gas is being used than necessary because of
improper adjustment of any appliance, this
can easily be remedied The Washington Gas
Light Company and the Georgetown Gas Light
Company will be glad to make any adjust
ments which are necessary.
The gas companies expect to be in business
for a good many years and must depend
heavily on the Good Will of the Public. There
is only one sure. way to obtain this, and that
is by rendering consistently good service.
We know that the customers interest is our
interest.

Time Deposits in
 Pacific Coast Banks
 Have Broken Record

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May g. Buying power of the Pacific Slope has bulked larger than ever before. Time deposits of banks in the seven Far Western states were computed by the Associated Press at two and three-quarter billions.
 Figures supplied by the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank served as basis for the computa- ton. They showed time deposits in representative member banks at the highest total on record-$1 ,046, ,000,- 900. This accounted for something less than 40 per cent of the total time deposits-largely savings in the district.
 The previous high record for the basic time deposit total was made early in March. The statistical base then reached $1 ,042, ,000,0 and the total accounts were figured at $2,- 666, 100000.

MOSCOW September 14-The crash
of the French airplane Hyphen II, in

Marcel Doret, the only one to escape

Science
Primitive Human Skeletons
Found in South Africa.

Discovery Of curious human skeletons
believed to be those of the pre-Bushman
race in South Africa is reported by DR..
F. F. Dreyer Of Univ ,rsity College,
Bloemfontein.
These skeletons were TO md in a strata
underlying ancient Blu .hman burials
which established the time sequence.
They were of very primitive human
type, approaching in some respects the
Neanderthal type of pre-humans, DR..
Dreyer reports. They differed in having
fairly high foreheads. The skulls were
considerably thicker than those Of the
present natives.
DR.. Dreyer belives that these people
were in the country when the ancestors
of the Bushmen came and that there
were some intermixture, accounting for
primitive skeletal traits among the pres
ent-day inhabitants. T. r. H.
