The Price of Gas
In a letter to all consumers, the Secretary of the Buntingford Gas Company states that owing to the Coal Strike the price of gas was increased as from 30th September.
Normal supplies of gas coal cost 33/9, while the present price is 75/9.
The coal merchants are keeping a fairly good supply of household coal which is being retailed at 4/3.
In some quarters it is thought that the price may rise to 4/6 before Christmas.
