It is possible to eliminate this charge by assuming a higher rate for gas consumed, but a just and scientific distribution of charges for a public utility has to in- clude this charge, which is independent of consumption. This rate will be charged from the day your meter cock is opened to actually supply gas to your appliance, and will be payable thirty days thereafter. installed now are closed and will be opened after the gas is on the line.
