Notice To Gas
Company Needed
To Add Extras

Eugene Kidwell, London man
agcr of the Ohio Fuel Gas Co.
today directed attention to the
Ohio Utilities Commission ruling
which requires customers to notify
the company in order to connect
additional heating equipment to
company lines.
The company, under this rul-
ing, is to be informed of the name
and address where such equip
ment is to be installed as well as
size of the equipment, he ex-
planned.
Recently, it was said, there mas
been a growing tendency to he
glect to inform the company when
such installations are made max
ing it more difficult for the comp
any to keep transmission and dis.
tribution lines i'm balance to pro-
vide good service in cold weather.
Detailed instructions for noti-
lying the company are contained
in an advertisement appearing in
this edition of your newspaper.
