The El Paso Gas, Electric Light and Power company, is making arrangements to put in a number of gas stoves for cooking and heating purposes and will be able to make it so cheap to consumers that the project is regarded as feasible. The company has decided upon the following rates and will soon have the stoves here on the ground. If fifty consumers are obtained the price will be $1.90 per 1000 feet; if one hundred and fifty consumers, $1,75; if two hundred and twenty-five consumers $1.50. Coal is being sold by the dealers at 10.50 per ton, and the gas stoves, which are better and more serviceable, will reduce the cooking and heating expenses to every household fully two-thirds. These stoves are fast taking the place of coal stoves in all the cities where gas can be obtained cheap.
