Another gentleman said to q reporter:
II have Just been told that the adOp-
r0nOf the electric light will mean the
throwing ont OF q considerable number
OF w1rNinrmen. through a decreased
use of gas, and that the leSSened con-
SUMPTION Of coal will knock of some
miners. How is it?"
In reply the newspaper man told the
gentleman that an electric light plant
could not be run without men: that it
tool. coal or some other form Of fuel to
make electricity. lust MS il took coal 70
make gaS. and as for q decreased con-
sumption ~ gas. the effect i'm other
cities had been 10 increase the cOnsump-
,'ae NJ gas. through desire Of busi-
ness men TO compete with the brilliant
street illumination. and that the city
would thereby be benefited, inaSmuch
By, s, would sell for good money the gas
which is now used 10 light the streets,
without any return in dollars and cents.
