This explanation was made by Leach to a committee appointed by the exchange, which reported at the regular meeting Tuesday night. Leach did not attempt to deny that the company was at fault. In fact, he said that the gas was bad and that the company knew it, but ascribed the cause to the poor quality of oil used In gasmaklng. Regarding the quantity, Leach informed the committee that the growth of Oakland and its suburbs had been so rapid that the company had been unable to accommodate the supply of gas to the demand, and therefore there was not enough gas to go round.

Leach promised that conditions should soon be remedied. APPOINTS ASSISTANT CORONERS IN ALAMEDA Coroner-meet Nn.ne Met of Hl Deputies. Coroner-elect Tisdale of Alameda county yesterday made known the full list of appointments to the deputy coronerships throughout the county. E. J.
