USE OF PETROL GAS
TARANAKI MAN'S SUPPLY With a constant supply of petroleum gas, capable of propelling a car with more efficiency than petrol, pouring from an old oil bore on his farm, petrol restrictions may shortly cease to "worry Mr O, Foreman', of Tikorangi, Taranaki. Mr Foreman, who has been drawing on this apparently inexhaustible source of gas for his lighting, cooking, and for the small motor driving his milking plant, is now turning his attention to overcoming the petrol problem, not by substituting the inferior producer gas, but a clean gas, the power of which exceeds that of petrol. When this bore gave off gas i.lnr] stead of the desired oil, Mr Foreman eercted a small gasometer over the bore. Not only is the gas colourless, but, bubbling up through pure artesian Avater, it is perfectly clean, and in cooking leaves no deposit on the pans.
