Dear Sirs:---

Concerning the action of your company in cutting off my gas
and lights, because of my refusal to pay the February light bill untill
corrected to proper basis, I am addressing this letter to you personally
as an honest business man. Probably this instance did not come under
your personal observation and I will explain to you. In the first place,
I have been a customer of your company for both gas and lights for a
number of years. I have paid you promptly and, on numerous occasions,
when there was every evidence that the bill was excessive - have paid
when your meter reader could not have gotten into the house. My light
bill was rendered for December, January and February at $6.00 to $6.15 -
higher than ever before. One of these months the lights were used
freely, another sparingly, with the same result at the end of the
month. On March 4th I returned the February bill asking an investigation
and correction to proper bases. The reply to this was a premptory
demand on March 20th by the collector for payment as rendered or have both
gas and lights cut off that day. I had in the meantime, in view of
these excessive bills, which I had before asked corrected, requested the
Citizens company, of whom I have heard no complaint of excessive charges,
to give me their lights. They did so the day yours were cut out. The
