No Booze Sniffing For Gas Meter Men PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 14.—Schemes of prohibition authorities in this state to learn the innermost secrets of that innermost part of the average citizen's home—the cellar—have occasioned a sensation here in their latest aspect. How far these projects have been carried became known in startling fashion, when the United Gas Improvement Co., made public a letter in which it refused to have its gas meter inspectors act as spies in behalf of the prohibition force here. The letter revealed that a proposal had been made to the company by dry enforcement officials that gas meter men, in addition to their routine duties of compiling the little figures for the monthly bills, should also cast a wayward eye over the contents of all cellars, particularly noting any anti-Volstead manifestations such as private stocks, stills, or home brew paraphernalia. It was suggested that such things might be discreetly reported to prohibition headquarters by the gas company. A sigh of relief went up from many a home when it became known that the gas company had answered the request in the emphatic negative. But now John Citizen is lying awake nights with the awful realization that water-meter men also visit his cellar, and that as they are municipal employees, they may be morally bound to aid "law enforcement."
