LARGE NUMBERS PRESENT A INFORMAL MEETING ATING _ QUEstiON. UTILITIES REPRESENTED, A large and interesting meeting on Monday evening at the high schoo was the result of the published bes them. ‘Those in attendance were representative citizens and business people and allegations were made chiefly about the gas service. Agents of the Public Utilities Commission of the State who had been making a survey and investigation, were present and took copious motes. . The testimony dealt mainly with five points, to wit: 1. Inadequate service. 2. Alleged poor quality of gas, 3.. Largely increased bills. 4. . Alleged discourtesies . of — company employees. 5. Failure to fulfill promises made last year for improvement of the service. The evidence is said to have established the fact that the company‘s facilities for making and | supplying gas are not equal to the demand upon them, this being due to the largely increased concumption during the past three years without corresponding inimprovement in conditions may be expected. It is regretted that the hearing was not a formal one, so that the evidence could have been made a matter of [record and review by all parties incommissioners, however, have agreed with the utility commission that all of the evidence offered at the meeting will be obtained in written form accompanied by affidavits, if it is desired by the commission. same title written by Major Rupert
