New York Sun.
" ' ' An Expert Opinion.
The New York State Meter inspector's
deputy was asked this question the other
day: "Could a gas company make meters
record more than was necessary to be
consumed by tenants by putting on an
increased pressure through the pipes?"
The inspector replied: "Of course, an in
creased pressure will make more gas go
through the meters than is necessary for
the lights. The companies have to put
on a lot of pressure about 6 o'clock in
the evening when everybody is lighting
up. . That is what makes the gas jump
and flare so. All the gas coming through
the . pipes is not - burned, and that is
where the patent. -governors.and regula
tors step in.
But the consumer .can regulate .that
just as well without a governor by turn
ing the gas' partially off at his meter un
til he gets a stream' just'' about adequate
to the number of lights he uses. It
makes the light .steady, and. saves about
20 to 25 per cent; of gas to the consumer.
I have done it for manyears, and found
it to work just about as well as a patent
governor." 1 k .- - r'-?
