The inspector asked how the advent of electricity would affect the works and was told that the Nelson experience was that consumption of gas had risen from 407 million cubic feet to 576 million after electrification. In an earlier article this rise had been attributed to less coal being burnt.

VOTE. WOMEN’S. 1929
CH. 10/05/1929. Excerpt from Skipton Parish Magazine, written by Canon J F Howson, Archdeacon of Craven. He is described as ‘Imploring the millions of new women voters not to treat the election frivolously, as a sort of joke.’
A giggling young woman who gets her voting paper and simply ‘kinks’ with laughter is to my mind a horrible picture. I am dreadfully afraid there will be many of these. It is a disturbing thought that a very large proportion of these new voters, so far as I can judge, think very little and read hardly anything about the big questions. It is more than disturbing, it is almost terrifying. Are these new voters studying them at all? I believe hardly at all. Realise your responsibility, you are now being treated by the Nation as trustees. Try to ‘weigh up’ the trust and what it involves. Do not be stampeded by some ‘special stunt’. In other words, don’t get carried away. Forgive me for saying it but women are apt to be carried away. Read more. Think for yourself as if you were sitting on a jury and decide upon your verdict. Two things among many others are certain to command the women’s vote; one is peace, the other is greater control of the drink traffic.
