It rost» money to apply safety devicesHuman life, on the other hand, is cheapFourteen human live- were snuffed out in Seattle dur

Over one hundred human beings went to bed notknowing that they had opened the gas jets beforethey had turned the electric switch. And fourteenof them never woke again.These are the startling statistics on public record in
the offices of the county coroner and the city health com-missioner. Fourteen death- in Seattle during the past yearwould have been avoided if there had been no combinationgas and < lectric fixtures.
The deaths would have been prevented if therehad been some device by which the gas would havebeen shut off in such combination fixtures and couldnot be turned except with deliberate intention.Such a device cost- money, of course\r<- the lives of fourteen human beings worth it?
Councilman WardaM thinks so, and so he has proposedan ordinance along that line It c< me- up before the public-afety committee \\ ednesday. The gas company naturallyis against it.
And only yesterday morning, two more gas asphyxiationdeaths occurred?Mr. and Mrs Henry Y. I.ongtin. Thecircumstances point to accidental deaths, and it matter- littlethat there is now advanced a more or less far-fetched theorythat it may have been a case of planned suicide and murderon the part of the woman.
WHAT WARDALL ORDINANCE PROPOSESThe Wardall ordinance proposes to lock tip the flow
at the "sonrt r of g;<s fur illuminating purposes in all houseswhere electric light is used generally Whenever it >houldoccur that an accident at the electric plants require the ti-e
of gas the owner of the house could then go to the sourceof the gas flow, and open it up for use. fias w uld thus lieturned "n. not by accident, hut by deliberate intention, and ac-cidental deaths through ga« would he eliminated
In some bonnes gas i* employed for domestic purposes?\u25a0cooking, ironing, etc . while electricity i* used for the illumi-nation. In 'uch c.t-cs. the Wardall bill provides for separateinstallation* bv the gas company, so that the illuminatingand domestic u*c of £as will be entirely separated.
These extra installations are the basis of the company'sobjections.
Councilman Wardall, however, believes that the co-t to
the company is not to be compared with the cost of thefourteen human lives in Seattle la*t year, and with the cost
of two live* which marked the beginning of this year.What do the other cotincilmen think about it?
