During this period, Hungarian gendarmes and members of the Hungarian National Guard killed 126 local Jews (out of 142 who were living in the city at the time),[3] as well as 39 Romanians, the latter primarily prisoners of war captured during the Battle of Turda.

The Sărmașel gas fieldedit

The first gas production was used to power the steam boilers in Sărmășel and the gas lighting of the alleys in Bazna resort. In 1914 the first gas pipe was finished, spanning from Sărmășel to Turda and on to Ocna Mureș, with a length of 55 kilometres (34 miles) and 153 millimetres (6 in) diameter;[6]: 37 in 1916, Turda became the first city in Europe to have public street lights fueled by natural gas.[7] In 1927 the first natural gas compression station in Europe was built in Sărmășel.[6][7]
