MORE GAS BEING USED
Output of Natural Product Breaks
Record in 1915.
Quantity Consumed Exceeds by Nearly
37,ooo,ooo,oO0 Cubic Feet, the
Previous High Mark.

The United States continues to in
crease it's production of natural gas. in
spite of the exhaustion of fields in some
parts of the country. Statistics pre-
pared by Uncle Sam show that more
natural gas was produced and con
sumed in the United States than in
any other year.
The quantity used was 628,578, ,842,-
600 cubic feet, which exceeds by near
ly 37,O00,00O,OOO cubic feet, or 6 per
cent, the former record, established in
1914.
The average price of this gas at the
point of consumption was 1912 cents
thousand cubic feet, and it's total mar.
ket value was $101, ,312, ,381, a gain of
O.22 cent in unit price and of 1885,
S57, or 7.6 per cent, in total value come
pared with the figures for 1914.
| Credit for the increased production
of natural gas belongs, in the order
given, to Ohio, Oklahoma, West Vir-
ginia, Pennsylvania, Kansas and Cali
fornia, which together produced near
1y 40,O00,O00,O00 cubic feet more in 1915
than in 1914. Significant increases, i'm
fecting the production of the entire
country, were credited to Arkansas,
Wyoming and Missouri.
The principal benefciaries of the
increased production of natural gas
were, in the order named, Pennsyl-
vania, Oklahoma, Ohio, California and
Kansas, which together consumed near
ly 1884, 0O,OO0,0O07 cubic feet more in
1915 than in 1914.
Of the total production of natural
gas in 1915, it is estimated that 217,-
POP, ,943, 600 cubic feet, or 35 per cent,
was distributed to 2,195,0S1 domestic
consumers at an average price of 1882
cents a thousand cubic feet, and that
the remaining 65 per cent was distrib-
uted to 1883 industrial consumers at
an average price of 81 cents a thou
sand. Compared with the correspond
ing statistics for 1914 these figures in
dicate, with regard to the gas supplied
to domestic consumers, gains of per
cent in quantity, 6 per cent in the num-
Der of consumers, and OPS cent in av-
erage price; with regard to the gas
supplied to Industrial consumers, gains
of 6 per cent in quantity, 3 per cent
in the number of consumers, and 0.12
cent in average price. The percentage
of the total quantity consumed for
domestic purposes was slightly greater
in 1915 than in 1914. .---

BIG VOTE PREDICTED
More Than 300 New Names to be
 Added to Towns List.

Experienced political observers are predicting that Killingly's vote both at the town election Oct. ?. and at the national and state elections Nov. ', will reach the highest total in the his tory of the town.
 If all the applicants to be made town clerk next Saturday, when vot- CTS are to be made, and pass up to the usual percentage that do pass out names will be added to the towns voting list. There are 1S0 male ap- plicants, and there is special interest in these, for they will have something to say, and may be the balance of power, in deciding contests for town offices and on the license question, over which there will be a stiff con- test.
 It is taken that the unusually large number of men applicants to be made voters is due to the fact that Killingly has been very prosperous and has grown considerably in population dur ing the past two years.
 As is always the case, there will be losses this year from the list of voters as compiled for last year, this due to deaths and removals to other towns; but the promised gain will more than offset these losses and probably bringing the total of voters listed to the highest mark in Killing ly's history. Added, too will be the names of more than 200 women, in terested in voting for members of the town school committee.
