Laclede Gas gas turned off and have to pay full balance to get turned on maplewood, Missouri
My gas was turned off in March of 2011, when first told that I needed to pay 375 to have services restored, called on Tuesday May 31, to ask the total amount I was then told that the bill was 417. How is that possible I asked could not get a straight answer just was told I needed to pay that to have my services restored, I live on the third floor, my air conditioner runs off of my gas furnace, we have a heat warning in the saint louis area, with no air conditioner is unbearable I asked if I could pay half now and half next week was told that was not possible.

Gas is overpriced and dangerous. DON'T use it. Get some fans and forget about the bill.
Im not an HVAC guy, but I don't see why you need gas to get cool. You probably just need freon in the Ac unit. It's probably all leaked out since you used it last summer. Good time to change filters too.
Come winter, living on the third floor is the best, because you can "leech" heat from your downstairs neighbors. As one of my former maintenance guys told me- "the more you turn your heat down, the more the people below will have to turn their heat up!" So you may not even need your gas in the winter (I didn't) unless you have a crappy outdated gas water heater also. Then you will have to put your clothes iron to the tank. Be careful.
If your bill was outrageously higher than normal, you may have had a leak. Might be the best it is shut off. You don't want to go boom.
If you can't get you ac working, try a dehumidifier (in addition to fans).
