DUNEDIN SHORT OF COAL
SUPPLY OF GAS ENDANGERED. By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, July 16. Unless further supplies of coal are obtained from the West Coast, the serious shortage is likely to cause great inconvenience in the supply of gas from the corporation gasworks, where there is less than a week’s supply. ■Since the beginning of the month only 153 tons have come to the works, where 350 tons are carbonised weekly. The Mayor this morning telegraphed to the Hon. W. B. Taverner, pointing out the seriousness of the position and asking to have supplies expedited.
