Boon of Electricity in the Home

Minister of Public Works Commends Use J HAVE to thank you for affording me this opportunity of making reference in your columns to the use of electricity in the home. ; . Firstly, may I congratulate you on the you propose making to the scope of your journal and on your enterprise in endeavouring to more closely bring under the notice of your readers the benefits resulting from the use of electricity. Since I have been in public life the more extensive use of electrical energy has been a matter in which I have been much interested, and since my assumption of office of Minister of Public Works it has been one of my closest studies.

As these main power schemes reach completion more power will become available, particularly for the country districts, and before very long yery many of the country districts will be placed in the position of being able to enjoy the electrical conveniences of the city homes.

ANOTHER point of which sight must not be lost is the fact that in some of our country districts the supply of natural fuel is becoming, decidedly limited, and as time goes on this deficiency will become increasingly apparent. Electricity will, of course, then be looked to to supply the necessary fuel requirements. . I trust that the enlargement of your paper in the direction proposed will be of assistance to your readers and . that by reading its columns country people. in particular will realise the benefits resulting from the use of electricity in the home.
