THE GAS SUPPLY
Sir—May I add a protest to the position which appears to have beon created by the_ Wellington Gas Company. Firstly, owing 'lfi> its inability to procure good ooal (the company admits this), and secondly, not having an alternative plant or stand-by arrangement for producing gas in an emergency when required. It seems to ■me that the recent trouble on the wharf has nothing to do with the case. If there had been no trouble on the wharf, then the bad coal which the Wellington Gas Company is receiving would still be on older. During the uris'Js in, 1913 the Wellington Gas. Company produced anotiher form of gas which was quite satisfactory, after the various fittiaigs bad been adjusted for tfte new circumstances. If the company could produce that gas aj| short notice-, why is it unable to do so now? ' • .• , We have had no gas at all in our house since Monday, August 23, and the company can give no assurance ■when we may expect to have it. In our household we, in common with many others, depend entirely upon gas for cookng ana heating, and to be suddenly cut off without any lioiiice -whatever seems to me to be not playing fair. —I am, etc., E.W.G.C.
