You always have to pay

To the editor:
I bought my home in Brunswick County in 1974. My home had propane heat in it. I paid the deposit with a local gas company and everything was fine for years.
The local gas company was sold three times during the years and my business was sold with it.
Last winter Mother Nature gave us a break from the cold and I didn’t use as much fuel as normal.
Last week I received a bill for $62.98 for “tank usage fee.” The government and everyone else wants people to conserve energy but you still have to pay.
If anyone is thinking about a new heating system, keep this in mind. Gas is not the only heating system in my home, as the gas company will find out when it turns cold.
