Then tho writer irnovcd Into an eight-room houso thnt I was wired for electric lighting. Tho I year round the meter showed an aver-ago aver-ago monthly consumption of current close to 20 kilowatts. Hero, then, we have a tangible basis of comparison. Tho same family, with tho same habits 1 of life and the same habits of economy with lllumlnants, lives ono year In an olght-room, gas-lighted house, and the following ear In an elcctrlc-llghted house of the oamo size. Referring to the accompanying tables. No. 1 shows what the monthly gas bill would be for the consumption of 2,000 cublo feet p r month at different prices pcr thousand thou-sand feet. In the same way, tahlo No - 4hutH tho amount of the, monthly bill for electric light for an average consumption of 20 kilowatts at the various va-rious prevailing rates, if. for example, Jn vour town gas slls at SO conts per 1.000 feet, and electricity at S cents per kilowatt, your monthly bill In either case would average J1.G0. With gas at , BR 7G conts and electricity at 10 cents your f gjj bills would be $1.50 and 52, respectively, Jig In favor of gas. ifie Thcso figures, of course, cannot bo . k taken as absolute, but merely as form- JjVj lng a basis of comparison between gas t JC nnd electricity. If, for Instance, your , Jgs house Is twice the size of the writer s, , n or your family twice as large, our Wj monthly bill would bo approximately , twice tho sum set down In the tables. . W BUt. regardless of tho size of your eS- - JB1 tnbllshment, the tables, for certain . j- given prices per unit, will show1 the f flM relative cost of the two lllumlnants. j Kg Tabla No. 1.
