We have practically: completed | the installation of new pumping machinery and during the hours of great« est demand, the gas pressure will be doubled. This should not affect your monthly |, bill in any way, unless your supply has hitherto been inadequate, in which event, the fact that you will now be able to satisfy your | household . requirements, will tend to increase your bills by just the amount of your increased demand for service. Watch your burners. Don‘t waste gas by turning them too high. You can now get twice as much gas through each burner in a given time, but that means the pot will boil in half the time that it did when the pressure was lower, Our part is to furnish the service. yours to use it as you . choose and in the using, you are the maker of your own gas bills.
