And, most important of all, the stoves and other ap- Pliances in the homes must be scientifically adjusted, sd that just the right proportion of air will be burned with the gas. It is TS probably in a failure to perform this service care- fully and intelligently that the Seattle company has been most derelict, and it is probably this failure which is one of the chief reasons for the gas consumption in Seattle to be soaring as it is. It is pointed out here that George E. Whitwell, chemi- cal expert at the state university, has come in for a lot of undeserved criticism because of his testimony at the time the state permitted the B. T. U. change and because of the Seattle company’s failure to put into effect the same drastic efficiency steps the Tacoma company has instituted. Testified B. T. U. Reduction Wouldn’t Increase Gas Used Whitwell testified that a reduction of 100 B. T. U.’s would not show any material increase in the use of gas IF THE GAS APPLIANCES WERE PROPERLY ADJUSTED. The trouble seems to go back to the fact that none of the existing stoves and gas appliances are made to con- sume efficiently 600 B. T. U. gas. Under the best condi- tions of their use much of the heat is wasted. They give a better percentage performance, it appears, with the gas of a lower content, IF PROPERLY ADJUSTED. This makes important a proper supervision and checking up of the appliances. And, of course, it goes without saying that if the com- panies are permitted to serve this gas of lower calorific value they should only charge accordingly, as it is cheaper to manufacture. Neither Young nor anybody else in an official capacity at the gas works here will comment on the Seattle situ- ation. It is more than an open secret, however, that the Seattle gas company is regarded among public service corporation heads the state over as a pariah. The Se- attle gas management won't work with other companies and it won't work with its public. It belongs to “Hell’n Mariah” Dawes of Chicago and it carries a chip on its shoulder much as does the fiery ex-brigadier general. Its failure to give the Seattle public the gas service Se- attle is entitled to have, the other companies feel, tends to get them all “in bad,” and it probably would be a highly popular act on the part of the state commission AMONG OTHER GAS COMPANY HEADS as well as consumers if the state commission brought about some drastic relief for the Seattle gas users.
