WARNING
TO GAS
CONSUMERS
Gas consumers are warned
that we may be unable, tempo
rarily, fully to meet the great in
crease in the demand for gas, due
to cold weather and the shortage
of the domestic coal supply.
There is danger of some
burners going out when
the gas demand is
heaviest, and gas coming
on again later,
4
I
Be sure that all burners not in
use ARE SHUT OFF.
Do not go to sleep with any
gas burning.
If any burner will not light, be
sure to close the gas cock before
you leave it.
Do not keep a burner lighted
unless some one is in the room.
If you -smell gas, examine and
shut off all burner cocks. Do not
under any circumstances search
for a gas leak with a candle or
match. '
