CORRESPONDENCE.
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —In reference to the paragraph in your last issue about the evil-smelling gas ive have had to put up with in our homes of late. You stale the cause of the stench is due to a certain coal being used. I am not a gas engineer, but I don’t accept that explanation as being the direct cause. I am of opinion that the gas in the holder is allowed to get too low, and is then forced through the purifiers instead of going through normally. The Council is anxious to make the works a
paying concern, and to encourage the consumption of gas, and in order to do this they should bring the works up-to-date, and so prevent a recurrence of this objectionable smell where there are children in the home suffering from colds the smell. Where there are children in and keeps them awake. I hope the Council will take some action to improve matters,or else consumers will have to go back to kerosene or candles. —Yours, etc., CONSUMER.
