No to 270 You. X. THE WEEK.

Gas lighting gains ground in hotels and public works
A London American summary notes experiments with burning fluid gas for fire fighting and lighting in major American hotels and public spaces. It reports water works under construction near Boston Fair, shifts to gas production cost comparisons with coal gas, and claims gas can be cheaper and more efficient, with price estimates around one dollar per thousand cubic feet in Boston.
