When the frost "«cornes out", as inilder temperaturs prevail, ground movement wiil be greater than in other yonx. 7%e Works Departmente of many municipalitieS have wamned of thé emge that has afready occurred to streets and paving, and that more damgge wMJ take place. Repairs to broken roadso water mains, etc., cost thoumnde 01 dollars each year and the. estimates this year are greater thon ever. Tii. many miles of gas mains buried ini the ground, as well as wer net,. worlcS, hydro conduits and telephone cables have been installed and maintained for years mi accordance with the best known engineering and operating practices. Ail of these facilities will b. subjected to pressures and movement as the ground begins to thaw.Q Where our new gais mains and servces have been installed, refilled trench.. will likely settie. Any reultimg damnage to lawns, walks roa mad driveways wiil be adjusted as quickly as weather perm~it&. Under these abnormal conditions the pooibllity of natural gas leakage lu increased. The Gas Company therefore requeste the assistance of afl citizegi ini the. community i guarding against gaslek that might othewius go unnoticed. Gas leak detecting crews constantly patrol the ares, checking uhtre tutty manholes, sewers and buildings. In addition to this safeguard we aïk your co-operation by reporting ANY UNFAMILIAR ODOUR to us prornptly. In addition any of the following circumstanceS should b. reported without delay: 1.Any noticeable bubbling in pools of water on the ground and streets.' 2. Any odour which lias no readily apparent cause, either in buildings or out of doors. 3. Amy indication that your furnaoe, regardles of fuel, don not appesi to b. operating as it should. Basement floor drains should be checked to ensure that they contain water. Sewer gafes, natural gas and other combustible fumes can enter homnes through basement drains if they are dry. Pour a pail of water into dry oellar floor drains to Ml the water traps and prevent the entry of gase. Your participation in this safety program is appreciated.
