BISMARCK GAS COMPANY.

In common with all other public
utility corporations, the Bismarck Gas
Company has been hard hit by the
increased cost of operations because
of the constantly advancing prices of
materials and labor. The constantly
increasing cost of all commodities that
affect the average citizen, such as
groceries, meats, clothing, fuel, etc,
are painfully apparent to every family,
and naturally affect a public utility
corporation like the Bismarck Gas
Company, either directly or indirectly.
High prices that are constantly ad.
Vancing are encountered daily in
every walk in life,-by the merchant,
farmer, capitalist and ordinary
labOrer. 1t is a condition that exists
and has. to be solved by every indi-
yidual in the best manner he can. No
one person can be, held accountable
for the conditions as they exist today
Many workingmen have asked for and
have been granted increased wages
with which to meet present day con-
ditlons. Farmers are receiving more
flor their grain, milk, live stock and
other products, but on the other hand
their help, machinery and supplies
cost them more than formerly. Mer-
chants have to pay more for their
goods now than formerly and are
forced to add to their prices to over
come increased cost of business. The
same conditions face the Bismarck
Gas Company. Some of it's supplies
have increased over 400 per cent in
cost during the past three years. A
fair average of the cost of materials
used by the Bismarck Gas Company
in it's operations including labor cost
is approximately 81 per cent. Coal
has doubled in cost at the mines. The
government has increased freight
charges % per cent The only re-
course left to the company was to
raise the rates Tor gas, for gas is the
company's stock in trade and it's only
appreciate revenue. a price must
be fixed for it that will bring the
company a sufficient return to bay the
and yield reasonable dividend on the
investment. The nation is passing
now through critical times. Every in
dividual is, and the Bismarck Gas
Company asks only the same consid-
GRAFTON and fair consideration that is
given to any individual or firm in the
solution of the problems of the day
as they affect it. The rates are not
exorbitant and are placed as low as
possible with sound business judg-
ment. The company has how on ex-
hibition at its salesrooms, some splen-
did, new models of gas stoves. Any
one Of them will make an ideal Christ
mas present for the housewife and
will prove a labor saver to her and
make her baking a pleasure.

VAN HORN e. LoVEN, ARCHITECTS
& ENGINEERS.

Modern &C Instruction and designing
of structures require the trained and
Irresponsible services of the builders.
Architects designed and erected all
| important and successful buildings
history records. In all civilized coun-
tries the law requires that building of
all types be planned and supervised
by registered Architects and they be
held responsible for any construction
al failures for a definite period of
time. Trained and registered Archi-
tects have proven their ability of
erecting structures sound of construc-
ton, practical in all requirements,
complying with all building ordinances
and last but not least in the art of
designing beautiful exteriors as we'll
as interiors. Those that fail in these
respects usually were planned by
seudo-architects and erected without
adequate and competent supervision
Building is a consultation with the
Architect, fixing requirements obtain
ing preliminary sketches, which are
unfinished plans, medium of inter
probation of the Architects intentions
to carry out the Clients requirements
drawn to the usual scales with a null
titude of large and small details of
the finer points of construction and
characterization, the specifications fol-
low, which are verbal drawings of the
buildings, complimentary to the geo.
metrical plans. All the different units
of material that are to compose the
finished structure are definitely speci-
fed together with description and in
structions of installation. The last
step is the selection of the contractors
and supervising and directing the prog
ress of the building. The greater bur-
den of responsibility rests on the
Architect and the success of the build
ing be it home, church, auditoriums,
theaters or commercial buildings, fl
lnancially and aesthetically, is due to
the Architect.
Van Horn & Loven are Architects
that come within the scope of above.
Most successful homes, business
buildings, schools, theaters, etc., in
| Bismarck and other parts of this and
other states were designed and super
Vised by this firm.
The recently completed Catholic
rectory erected by Van Horn & LoVen
is successful practically and attractive
aesthetically, it's interior and exterior
are well balanced, the house is a model
of convenience and comfort and deco.
rated with the utmost good taste. In
publishing this historical review, we
/ gladly recommend Van Horn & Loven
to the patronage of the people.
