It is a good light to work by. The Hokitika gas supply in point of quality isi orle of the best in the Dominion. The gas is of high lighting and heating value, and if burners are in gbod order-the brilliancy of the light is very striking. Equipped with good incandescent burners in sound order, the brilliancy of the light is intensified many degrees. So also when utilising the light for other domestic purposes such as cooking or heating—the gas is a most useful adjunct to have at hand. In many households now, the summer months go round, and the igas is the sole cooker. Fires are not necessary, and that fact relieves the household of much work under extra, heating conditions.
