ELECTRIC COOKING
TO BE DEMONSTRATED

The light committee recom-
mended to the council last night
that a grant of $150 be made out
of light revenue towards a dem-
onstration of electrical cooking
appliances.

Ald. McRae suggested that a
lower rate be struck for power
for cooking, as an added induce-
ment to the use of electricity. He
thought the present rate was too
high and that a lower rate would
bring more revenue.

Ald, Dybhavn said that the
present rate makes cooking with
electricity cheaper than coal,
though heating came higher. The
present intention was to encour-
age the use of power for cooking.
Ald. McClymont said that he
had discussed the matter with an
electrician and understood that
the outlook for the sale of elec-
trical cooking appliances at pres-
ent was not bright.

Ald. Montgomery felt that the
people should be educated along
this line and that a demonstration
would prove effective. The pro-
posal had’ been defeated by the
last two councils and he wanted
to see the scheme tried out. The
report was adopted,
