The distributing system uses the old power house () as a sub-station for street lighting and street railwaypower as it is located close to the centre of load as wellas supplying all street railway power and street lightingfrom this point and the motor converter is used for power. factor control. This distributing system consists of 12.)miles of pole lines and supplies over SOOO consumers, ( lamps which light 81 miles of streets. The amount of energy sent out from the plant as wellas that registered on various classes of consumers metersis shown in the following table, which covers eight yearsrecords.
