SO that little or no expense need be incurred in piping a town. If 

 the cost of mains equal cost of poles and wires the central station 

 or gas house onlv requires a small tank for a generator, and a gas- 

 ometer of suitable size ; as compared with engines, boilers and 

 dynamos running when only one light is required. 



We may then conclude that in the race for supremacy closer 

 economy will be practised, better service given, the public will be 

 benefitted, all will let their light shine to the best of their ability, 

 and the one best deserving of patronage will survive.
