P. S. COMMISSION OPENS WAY wr FOR CHEAPER GAS IN N.Y. BY ORDER FOR PUBLIC HEARING Change in inet ave Semen cated by Evening World, May Be Adopted MEANS LOWER RATES. Better Gas for Heating and Cooking Too Can Be Expected. By Sophie trene Loeb @ few days bearings Will be held by the Public Service om the question of chan As standards ‘Thies affects in greater Now York every consumer It will affect the quantity of gas be wih ot and the price he will pay Gan in thie city furnishes both light and heat. A large number of the con- sumers use open burners, thus af- fecting the light. Over a year and half ago The Evening World began ite campaign in the interest of a lower gas rate in caso the standard should be changed. At the time of its winning fight for the 80-cent gas rate for Brooklyn the Question of changing the method of measuring gas came up and it has been contended tn these columns that If the standard be lowered the price] must be lowered. Since that time | testa have been made to ascertain the quantity and quality of gas now used, The present standard of gas to the consumer is a twenty-two candle power—the icgal standard of measure- ment. It is now proposed to change this to the British thermal units standard, comonly termed B. T. U. The candle power standard is, gen- erally speaking, a method of measur- ing with the “lighting” value as a basis. By the British thermal unit stand- ard the method of measuring gas is from a heat unit basis, > As a result of The Evening World's investigation, and in ac- 0 with former hearings by the Public Service Com- mission, t nt twenty-two eandie pow strong heat That is to say, in making twenty-two candle power gas the companies now furnish the con- eumer with twenty-two candie power Hight and a heat value of over 650 B. T. U. tou —ccoording to the many It is now proposed to change | thie to a heat value of 585 to | 600 British thermal units. This will lessen. the light that! comes from the open burner, and de- vices will needs be used to secure suMcient light. SOME ADVANTAGES OF THE B. T. U. SYSTEM. ‘The companies in the other cities of the United States have been anx-| fous to change from candle power'| service to British thermal gas, as it cost considerably jess to make it, it being made from coal rather) than with costly oil, The rates have been lowered in ac-| cordance with the lowering of stand-| ards—an agreement having been made between city authorities and the ~ White the companies he anxious companies previous to the are to change to British no offers have 9 the position that the standard “b hanged first and a | ee ee ; Set.
