Chicago
Gas Leak
.PrObed

William Fraser and Lawrence
Richey of the distribution and ex-.
perimental engineering depart
ment of the Michigan Consolidated'
Gas Company are in Chicago to-
day to study a break in a natural
gas pipe line which deprived all
boiler equipment in Chicago OF
gas.
Emergency standby equipment
permitted supply OF gas to reach
domestic consumers.
Neither Detroit industrial nor
domestic users need worry about
a crisis such as Chicago has
been facing for three DAYS"
William G.. Voolfolk, president
Of the Detroit company, said to-
day.
1.-THE situation there Is caused
by a lack of standby equipment
for the manufacture of gas. We
have been criticized for main
tanning adequate manufacturing
equipment and holders to meet
such emergencies.
Detroit has experienced pipe
line failures several times since
natural gas was introduced here,
but we were able TO meet the
emergency each time so that the
public knew nothing about the
breakdown until all danger Of n
shutdown In the gas supply had
, passed.
"Chicago's present plight COM
: pletely justifies the position our
, company has always taken on
the necessity of maintaining
adequate standby equipment"
