liked to have learned more short

However, Nancve realizes her

needed day to day but which you
can draw upon when needed
In summing up her benefits from

Ohio Fuel Lays 1880
|feei OF New Gas Pipe

The Ohio Fuel Gas company
of Cambridge has completed
their $4,000 project of laying
a new high pressure line on Mil
Ter street, which extended east
across the Pennsylvania railroad,
Railroad street, Lewis street and
Walnut street to its regulator
on West street, near the D. L.
Harkins home.
This new line replaced one that
was laid back in 1897 and will
do much to give residents of that
section of Caldwell better SER
vice this winter.
The company has abandoned
their old line from the regulator
at the Caldwell fire department
north on West street, which Man.
ager Bernard Reed said would
in the future eliminate ever tear
ing up that street again due to
pipe break or faulty service.
The new line is also only a
few feet from the Caldwell high
school building and will be
available when they convert
from coal to gas heating in the
future.
Manager Reed estimated that
about 1880 feet of new gas pipe
was used for this project.
At the railroad track, it was
necessary for the workers to go
down five feet under the bed
of the track to put the line
across. Special casing was also
used for the line at this point.
