The Utah Valley Gas company began feeding its surplus gas into the coke ovens Saturday afternoon, to bring up the temperature of the ovens which had been using coke as heating fuel. That was why some Provo' housekeepers found a shortage of gas Sunday. The gas company was supplying all its possible surplus Monday to aid the plant in keeping a high temperature in the ovens. The plant's own gas began accumulating soon after the first three ovens were charged and .this gas was immediately turned back into the ovens to aid in raising the temperature, said to demand li'K) degrees of beat for the proper coking of the coal.
