THE WELLINGTON GAS MYSTERY.
There has been no explanation as to the cause of the gas escaping! (says the Dominion), hut apparently over a wide area, covering Taranaki street, Mulgiave street, Ell ice street, Cuba street, parts of Thorndon and Lamhton Quay, there has been an escape of gas from the meters. It has been, suggested that lack of water in the meters has been the reason for thus, while other rumours have been to the effect that extra pressure has been put on the mains from Miramar. The Gas Company's officials were approached by a ' reporter, but they stated that they were at a loss to account for the occurrence. An enquiry was then in progress, and would be continued in an endeavour to solve the matter, but till then there was nothing that could be given to clear up the mystery.
