Monroe to switch to propane gas for improved service
The Monroe division of the Wisconsin Hydro Electric Co will convert to propane gas possibly in September. The change will provide steadier pressure, higher heating value, cleaner fuel, and overall better service with no extra cost for appliance adjustments. The current gas is carbureted water gas, purified coke steam and oil byproducts. The new mix of propane and air will supply about 825 heat units per cubic foot, a 50 percent increase over the present 550 units.
