The recent complaints regarding the gas supply at Paeroa have not been without result, for we learn that considerable improvements are to be made in connection with the local gasworks.

It is recognised that the recent poor quality and supply of gas was not altogether the fault of the local manager, Mr J. Allan, and as more labour is now to be employed it is practically certain that there will be considerable improvement in the quality and the pressure ot gas in the course of a short time.
