ELECTRIC v. PETROL LIGHTING.
To the Editor
Sir,—ls it true that your borough is pledged to the installation of a petrol gas? If that is so surely the lighting value of such system is misunderstood. In a growing town, so circumstanced, the electric light would be the light most efficient and economical, expense notwithstanding. Settlement will, as the years pass, go on, in the hills around and private dwellings will drift that way, and it is doubtful if the energies of the petrol can be carried that far. It is ail right for a town like Waipukurau, situated on a level surface, to have such a system, but it will not work where the country is hiliy, and its forpe has to be conveyed over distance. There is only one light suitable for Te Kuiti, and that is the electric, which could be so easily generated by the splendid water supply everywhere available. I am, etc., EDISON.
