Sm—Presumably it was only a coincidence that the Gas Company's advertisement this morning appeared directly under the Crossword Puzzle, I had only done about three-quarters of the Crossword when I left for my office, but I solved the Gas Ca, puzzle very quickly. The answer is let all the minimum consumers do their best to use as tittle gas as possible while cent to pay the minimum, There will then be a fine profit, "The reduction announced on Sunday, surcharge down from 250 per cent, to 160 per cent, is more difficult to understand, A reduction is most welcome, but I am still trying to puzzle out why, if 160 per cent, is the right figure, did the Council ever authorize 250 per cent.) Perhaps I shall find the key word and solve this together with the rest of the Crossword.
