ENGLAND DECIDES ON
 CHEAP ELECTRICITY FOR
 HEATING AND LIGHTING

LONDON. July Q England is pre- pairing to provide herself with ChcaD and abundant electricity for heatinG' lighting and manufacturing purpoS"i at an initial cost of approximately SlOO,OOO00O. The bill to accomplish that result has been introduced in pa lament by the home secretary and with the endorsement of the govern mcnt as well as of people of all class eS, it is expected to become law in the very near future
 The plan for placing the country on an electrical basis provides for itS division into districts each district to he in charge of a commission. Th,S body. whose members are to hold Of- flee at the pleasure of the king WIFI be empowered to acquire generating plants and transmission lines already built and to build such plants and lines aS it may deem necessary. The commissioners are to conduct cXperl- ments for the purpose of improving methods of supply for which purpose they will be empowered to call to their assistance an advisory commi,- tee of unQueStioned experts.
 It is not the purpose of the govern ment to build all the electrical ap- paratuS in the country but private cor porationS entering the field must ob- tain the consent of the government and abide by it's regulations.
 Water power will be extensively used in generating electricity to re- duce the cost and to stimulate it's uSe for manufacturing and domestic pur- poses.
