Gas for a Century Predicted in Magic City
H C Zeigler, president of Muncie Heat Light and Power, lauds gas supply in Muncie Indianapolis Thursday. He says gas pressure will stay strong this winter as demand rises and the firm’s fields north of Muncie hold enough supply for a hundred years. Zeigler notes vast gas reserves from a former oil field and cites factory waste as a lesson in conserving natural gas. He associates with George Marott, leans Taft and Watson will win Indiana, and cites temperance as a top issue.
