Show Less Light Less Coal. PARIS, Dec. 11, 10:30 a. m. The stopping stop-ping of electric elevators and the- rationing ra-tioning of light in apartments here are under consideration so as further to economize in the use of coal. Families consuming more than a reasonable quantity quan-tity of gas are charged the prohibitive rate of one franc per cubic meter for the excess. Plugs incapable of resisting current cur-rent for the lighting of more than thirty lamps have been placed in houses where sixty lamps usually have been burned. |
