WANT BETTER GAS SERVICE
With a view of making some permanent arrangements, or taking some definite steps against the Central Kentucky Natural Gas Company which furnishes fuel to Winchester, Mt. Sterling, Frankfort and Lexington, a meeting of the attorneys of these cities will be held at Frankfort in the near future.
Mr. R. A. Chiles, City Attorney of Mt. Sterling, is responsible for the action.
"It has been my observation that for the last four or five years on a very cold spell there is a shortage of gas and an over-amount of air pressure, for which the public has to pay," he says. "There are also profuse apologies by the Central Kentucky Natural Gas Company and that is as far as it goes.
There is never any reduction or deduction in the bills, and it seems that we have to pay for cold air, just as well as the 'hot air'."
The meeting of the attorneys will probably result in some permanent relief, not only during this winter but in winters to come.
