STIRLING GAS The Store News under the above heading of January 26th printed an article entitled "Gas at Stirling". We received a long epistle of five paragraphs with the request that it be printed in the Store News, The writer states ("I was chairman of the Southern Towns Chamber of Commerce Committee who was instrumental in getting the gas program set up here more than ten years ago", etc,) A few questions: What is the Stirling gas program now? Who is chairman of the committee? If the owners did not go broke why not dig a third well? Quote; ("xf we as people in these towns are interested enough in a guaranteed gas supply at a much lower cost, and if we can make a deal satisfactory to both parties," etc. etc.) In the first place how does the present contract read between the town and the Canadi an Western Natural Gas Co. Ltd.? We were told that someone borrowed the contract from the Town Hall and never returned it. What price does the present Gas Co. have on their trunk line and di «t.r-i hnt.ing system? To duplicate it would no doubt cost double what it did ten years ago. An unproven source, no facts or figures as to the cost of the proposed gas program is forthwith coming. "Better remain with the ills you know than fly to those you know not of," t Ten years or more ago an article in the Store News objected to the rates between Lethbridge — 120 as we remember^ and the rates the Gas* Co. were asking here* A ratepayers meeting was held. The Canadian Western Natural Gas, Co. took objection to the article, sent two of their firm to Magrath. They had the Store News with them. They didn't like the article and they told us so in no uncertain terms. No ratepayer came to our rescue, they all wanted the gas and were willing to pay the price asked by the company. . During the past year the Trading Co. paid $733»4L for gas. We have had excellent service. The present schemers, some of them don't live in the district, haven't any facts or figures as to costs, and whose only resource of money is increased taxes, a mortgage on our homes - we want nothing of it. How much does our town protect local business? I have been informed that two Dry Cleaners from Lethbridge obtained a license for $15.00 for soliciting business from house to house in the town of MEgrath. It took me several thousand dollars to establish my local premises, besides I pay over $300.00 a year on business and property taxes which is all business expenwe. A declining turnover which goes out of town is ny lost profit. Hans Pfeffel, Magrath Tailors and Dry Cleaners, ATTENTION MAGRaTH & DISTHIC BASKETBALL FaMS L.D.S.
