purposes. Careful examination of the lease language confirms this. The words “the use of such gas” appear later in the clause, after the language stating the free gas is for domestic purposes. The most reasonable construction of the risk and expense language is that it applies to the gas intended and suitable for domestic purposes. Hence “such gas” means “useable gas.” After the gas is in a useable form, the lessors bear the risk and expense of using that gas in their homes. Such risks and expenses presumably include the dangers of using natural gas within a home for heat or to run appliances and the costs of purchasing equipment necessary to harness the natural gas for domestic purposes. But cf. Weiss v. Thomas & Thomas Dev. Co., 79 Ohio St.3d 274, 680 N.E.2d 1239, 1242-43 (1997) (<HOLDING>). Interpretation of the clause in this manner
recognizing that a lessees holding over without giving the prescribed notice of renewal gave rise to a presumption that the lessee was exercising the option to renew but also recognizing that in such a situation the lessor could elect to treat the lessee as a trespasser or to waive the notice requirement and treat the lease as having been extended holding the lessee in providing free gas to the lessor owed the lessor the same duty of care as a regulated public utility would owe its customers despite express lease language placing the risk of using the gas on the lessor holding plaintiffs were properly enjoined from using excessive amounts of gas not contemplated by the free gas clause in the lease holding provision in oil and gas lease authorizing lessor to use gas for agricultural purposes contained no geographical limitations holding a gas storage and oil lease providing for free gas for domestic use at the principal dwelling house on said lands and for low cost gas for domestic use on said lands in the event of storage limited the lessor to low cost gas at one principal dwelling
