GAS IN PROSPECT East Berlin may in the near 1u- ture have added to its present conveniences, that of natural gas, the benefits of which will be quite desirable and an addition. not to be missed it possible to obtain it. The Southern Pipe Line Company, who have four lines passing through this secticn, we learn from good authority will convert two of its four lines into conveyors of natural gas instead from their fields. Just where it is being carried to we were unable to learn.

Ir rural points through which the gas will be carried are to have access to the pipes, East Berlin will be quite tortunate as both lines pass within a stone throw of the Borough and it would only be a matter of tapping a pipe to have it right at our doors. Whether our contract with the Ma. trop-litan Edison Electric company is such as to debar its entrance we are not able to say. MARRIAGES Mrs. Rebecca E.
