The gas interests are practically starting from scratch. A year ago a survey showed that only 4.000 homes were heated by gas in the Toronto area although 168.000 cus- tomers used it for cooking and other purposes. The survey was held to faciliate conversion on equipment when the company he- gan to market natural gas. re- placing manufactured gas.

IMPACT OF GAS

An official of a large coal com- pany said natural gas will appeal first to persons who lack automa- tic heat from other types of fuel, the greatest impact being on homes where the furnace is hand- stoked.

TWO SETS OF FIGURES

, The board came up With two sets of figures for gas heating. 8194.64 if used only for heating: 3158.84 for the heating it gas also is used for cooking and water heating. The board said the lower figure for an all-gas house came about because of the 585-7819 structure, with sharp reductions for volume consumption.

The ompany. incorporated in 1848 to manufacture and distribute manufactured gas. is unique in that the mayor of Toronto is an ex offlcio member of the board of directors.
