STATE GAS SALES
 ADVANCED BY 5%
Revenues Up Only 2.5% However = Best Gains
 in House Heating Use

Sales of manufactured gaS ih Connecticut for oil purposes showed an increase of approximately i've per cent during the first six months of tho current year over sales in the first half of 1885, k ls indicated in statistics compiled for the early months of the year by the Anneri. can Gas association end based upon monthly reports of il Connecticut public utilities whose sales constiS tutO o2 per cent of the total sales of gas within tho state.
 Statistics from the same source reveal, however, that tho gross rev. enues of the gas companies, due to rate decreases, did not gain pro. portionately, but instead had . gain of only about 2.0 per cent over the corresponding period of 1885.
 When finally completed, data on gas sales in Connecticut for the first six months of i036 are expect. cd to show Q total of more than 4,b00,000,000 cubic feet of gas sold by tho ii companies, or close to the normal output of those companies. Tn good years, gas sales In this state run about ten billion cubic feet annually.
 Oddly enough, however, tho inc creaseg recorded in Connecticut iil tho first half of this year did not come in the sales category in which tho greatest amount of gas is sold, namely, the domestic use. Sales for household utilization of gas heat in ranges, water heaters, space heaters, refrigorators, etc., did show c slight increase, but this was out- done both in ratio and actual vol- umo by the gains made in It's use industriaily and commercially and for general house heating.
 The rise in gas employment itl- dustrialiy and commercially was measured ct better than 12 per cent for the six months in contrast with the same months of 1e36. This gain is attributed chiefly by ges company executives to the wide program of research into new and better methods of employing gas in industry, inaugurated by gas companies throughout the country in 1925 and extended both in l030 and 1036. The program was con- ducted by the American Gas Assoc clation testing laboratory at Cieve- land and 1t has resulted in the substitution of gas heat for other types of heat in thousands of inc dustrial processes where accurate control of temperature Is essential to the perfect products, especially in the metal field. With the revival of industry this comparatively new demand has grown rapidly.
 About equally as young as the use of gas on Q large scale in if1- dustry is It's employment for gen- eral house heating, yet the gain ir gas sales for this use in the first half year were approximately greater than for any other. The in. crease amounted to more than lt per cent over the first six monthi of 1036.
