directly to cooking utensils. The average bill in Portland for do
mestic purposes is $1.80 per month.
FOR WATER HEATING
An abundant supply of steaming hot water available without effort,
inconvenience or discomfort. Sufficient water for a bath obtainable
within 20 minutes at an approximate cost of 2 1-2 cents.
FOR LIGHTING
Gas light, being nearest to sunlight, is soft and restful on the eyes.
Modern gas lights produce twice as much liht as any other form of
lighting, for the same expenditure.
FOR HOUSE HEATING ,
Uniform .heat, thermostatic control, fuel paid fur as used; no fires
to build; no dirt, ashes or smoke. Fuel cost only slightly more than
that of solid fuel, offset, however, by the many conveniences.
FOR POWER
As compared with gasoline, the danger clement is eliminated. Kind
k'paid for only as used and the supply is limitless. Onr special rate
of $.50 per thousand cubic feet makes gas approximately 50 per cent
cheaper than gasoline.
' s
