Ohio Fuel Gas Company Urges Local
Residents Not To Switch Fuel Methods
A request to the public that
there be no more changing to gas
heat from other fuels, this season,
was made today in a statement is
sued by Brady Cunningham, local
manager, the Ohio Fuel Gas Co.
“The unprecedented requests for
changing to gas heat threaten to
tax our transmission and distribu-1
tion systems beyond the limits of
good service,” Mr. Cunningham
said. “This comes at a time when
it is impossible to secure pipe, fit
tings, and compressors necessary
to handle the overwhelming de
mand.
“Those who have been trying to
buy an automobile, soap chips,
white shirts, or other scarce items
will understand our position We
are trying to spend some 25 million
dollars to improve facilities for
bringing gas from the abundant
fields of supply to your premises.
Because of the dire shortage of
necessary materials and skilled
manpower to install them, only a
fraction of this 25 million can be
spent this year."
Mr. Cunningham said that some
of the orders for pipe last year are
not promised until 1947. As ex
amples of major construction pro
jects that are being held up, he
said that a new, large compressor
station near the Ohio river, in
tended to bolster the suply of gas
to the Ohio Fuel transmission sys
tem, can be only partially com
pleted this winter. A large trunk
line running north and south
through the heart of Ohio can be
no more than 25 per cent conpleted
this season.
A survey just completed has dis
closed that more gas heating in
stallations have been made in some
areas than the capacity of the com
pany's street mains can serve ade
quately.
‘"These reasons have prompted
the decision to discontinue the sale
of gas heating equipment to those
having other forms of heating, at
least for the coming season,” Mr.
Cunningham stated. “Responsible
heating contractors and dealers are
co-operating by adopting this plan.
The plan has been cleared with the
Public Utilities Commission of
Ohio.
“Customers, who now have bona
fide orders for gas heating equip
ment on file with The Gas Com
pany, or with heating contractors
filing with The Gas Company, will
be protected under this new pol
icy. The reason for this is because
such persons have lost their place
in line for re-ordering the fuel
they have been using.”
Mr. Cunningham said that dur
ing periods of severe weather this
winter, it most likely will be ne
cessary to curtail industries using
gas in their manufacturing process.
Even with this relief, it is possible
that some areas will experience
low gas pressures if outside tem
peratures become too low.
“We have a dual obligation to
the G. I. veterans and the Civilian
Production Administration," Mr.
Cunningham said. “With both, we
intend to co-operate fully by mak
ing gas service available to perm
anent new construction. Through
this conservation program, install
ation of materials and resources
can be made available for new
building.”
“Freezing” of installation of gas
heating equipment, has been taken
in past weeks, some as early as
last spring, by big companies ser
ving Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee,
and other large areas” Mr. Cun
ningham concluded.

Adapted Seed Com
Buying Is Urged
With countless farmers purchas
ing their stock of hybrid seed corn
this fall for next year’s planting.
H. L. Gartner, head of the feed and
seed division of the Farm Bureau
Cooperative Association, Columbus,
reiterated the warning today that
farmers should buy only adapted
varieties.
‘‘Uncertain weather conditions
make corn growing somewhat a
gamble, anyway,” Gartner said,
“and planting anything but
adapted, Ohio certified seed would
only increase the chance of fail
ure.” He pointed out that hybrid
corn, due to its nature in being
“bred up” shoud not be saved for
seed from the field crop. Only corn
that is bred to the seed stage by
experienced growers will yield
profitable.
A new leaflet giving full inform
ation on hybrid seed corn is being
distributed by most local Farm
Bureau Cooperative stores.
There is no salvation for the un
repentent. The Eternal law re

Other Fuels
The unprecedented requests for changing to gas
heat threaten to tax our transmission and distribution
systems beyond the limits of good service. This comes
at a time when it is impossible to secure the pipe, fittings
and compressors necessary to handle the overwhelming
demand.
WHY THE GREAT SWING TO GAS HEAT?
For years gas has been sold as a heating fuel of lux
ury value. Numerous tangibles, other than fuel cost, were
included in its value to win public acceptance. Now the
rise in price of other fuels makes gas heat the most eco
nomical today on a straight fuel cost basis in nearly all
areas in this general part of the country. Also, many
customers tell us that the uncertainty of supply of other
fuels has affected their decisions to change to gas heat
MATERIAL AND LABOR SHORTAGE
You who have been trying to buy an automobile,
soap chips, white shirts or other scarce items readily will
understand our position. We are trying to spend some
25 million dollars to improve the facilities for bringing
gas from the abundant fields of supply to your premises.
Because of the dire shortage of necessary materials and
skilled manpower to install them, only a fraction of this
25 million can be spent this year.
TEXAS GAS
The Tennessee Gas Transmission Corporation,
which owns a line bringing a large percentage of our gas
from Texas fields, have plans for adding to the capacity
of their system for several hundred miles. When com
pleted this will increase substantially the amounts of gas
they can deliver to us. By the time this project had run
the necessary gamut of federal hearings and approval
secured, it was too late to obtain materials to bolster our
supply until the coming heating season is far advanced.
From the Panhandle and Eastern Pipeline Com
pany, another western gas supply, we have been able to
contract only half the gas we requested for regular de
livery. The situation is not likely to improve until their
facilities can be increased.
NEW SUPPLY FOR EXTREME WEATHER
At two key points on our lines we are installing a
total of 110 tanks of 30,000 gallons each which will be
filled with propane (liquid petroleum gas of a type com
monly used by families living beyond gas lines in rural
areas) which will blend with our gas. The project will
make available the equivalent of 65 million cubic feet of
gas a day. This supply is intended for use only in ex
treme weather. It will exhaust itself in a few days of use
and our suppliers will require months to refill the tanks.

system can be but partially completed this winter. A
large trunk line to run north and south through the
heart of Ohio can be no more than 25 percent completed
this season. Some of the orders for pipe placed last year
are not promised until 1947.

HEATING CONTRACTORS AND
DEALERS COOPERATING
These reasons have prompted the decision to dis
continue the sale of gas heating equipment to those hav
ing other forms of heating, at least for the coming sea
son. Responsible heating contractors and dealers are co
operating by adopting this plan. The plan has been
cleared with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.
Customers, who now have bona fide orders for gas
heating equipment on file with us or with heating con
tractors filing with The Gas Company, will be protected
under this new policy. The reason for this is because
such persons have lost their place in line for re-ordering
the fuel they have been using.
INDUSTRIAL CURTAILMENTS LIKELY
This winter, during periods of severe weather, it
most likely will be necessary to curtail industries using
gas in their manufacturing processes. All large users of
gas for industry have been notified of this possible condi
tion, thus giving them time to make other provisions.
Even with this relief, it is possible that some areas will
experience low gas pressures if outside temperatures be
come too low.
PROTECTION FOR G. I. HOUSING
We have a dual obligation to G. I. veterans and the
Civilian Production Administration. With both, we in
tend to cooperate fully by making gas service available
to permanent new construction. Through this conserva
tion program, installation materials and resources can be
made available for new buildings.
DON'T BE MISLED
By giving you and our other customers reasons for
this immediate action, we hope to have the same support
from you that heating contractors have promised. Let
no one persuade you that the facts are other than here
stated. The delay in converting your present heating
system to gas until a more favorable time is the best
protection of service to your community.
