In the city of Guelph there has been a very noticeable increase in consumption and their gas department has been placed on a profitable basis. Mr, Allen will no doubt during his sur- vey in Oshawa deliver some lec- tures on the gas industry as & whole. The members of the commission fejt that if something could be au complished for other municipalities like results could be obtained in Oshawa, Mr, Allen makes an exhaustive report on each establishment visited and 'gives in detail the equipment used, the kind and quantity of ma- terial . heated, the fuel used per minute, hour, day, week or month, also temperature of operations, la- bor required, and possibility of sub. stituting gas appliances, The price that gas should be sold at to obtain such business as well as pencil sketches and diagrams of plants and equipment would be submitted, Mr, Allen brought with him seve eral clippings from ' newspapers where he had carried out work and in each case his work was lauded as a great service to the city, A short time after his survey was made in the city of St. Thomas, the Times Journal stated that the sur- + vey was 'already bearing fruit" The Belleville Ontario stated follow. ing the survey in that city that a deficit of eight to ten thuosand had been wiped ot as a result of the survey, . At the conclusion of the survey which will keep Mr. Allen in the city for thirty days he will be in the city six times each month to help solve any problems that arise and give advice which would help the Utilities commission in their work, This would be included in the survey agreement without ex- tra charge. With the acceptance of the coms mission of Mr, Allen's proposition he will no doubt commence his sur- vey at a very early date. Membership in the Ontario Gas Association was renewed by the Commission after brief discussion.

Even here in Oshawa and near vicinity the very man who did his bit, 'an there are hundreds here, is walking the town, dalcing for work but als wa, s in vain, ALL WE WA T 18 ORK, not charity, We didn't fight for charity, We fought for better conditions here, but apparently we have been fooled We are not wanted.
