California Gas Company inquiring as to their attitude with respect to the
installation of a gas main in Sycamore Avenue between Main Street and Virginia
Street before said Street is macadamized, that a representative of said company
had advised him that, with the apparent prospect of consumers on said line,
the cost of such installation for the entire length of Sycamore Avenue would
be so great that it would show a financial return of less than 1/2 of to per
annum, in view of which his company did not feel justified in making the outlayq
He said, however, that his company would lay sufficient main to accomodate the
three houses now in course of construction or soon to be constructed near the

could be extended in future with a minimum of disturbance to the oa.vement in
said street.
