# Perhaps so. During this period our customers called
for, and received, 14 times as much Gas as is required on
a Bummer day, and several times the Requirements of a
normal winter season.
# What does this prove?
9 It proves that we were prepared to supply all the
service our customers required during this period of
extreme cold weather, pur customers pay for this type
of service; they would be satisfied with nothing less;
and we are only doing our duty in thus meeting
these situations, l \
