The generatorsare not coupled in parallel at the power house, but are runseparately, this being found necessary on account of theviolent fluctuations of the street railway load affecting thecity lights when all were operated in parallel.

For arc lighting two 200-kw. two phase S. K. INTERIOR OF CHURCH OF ST. ANNE DE BEAUPRE synchronous motors are each coupled direct to two 125-light Brush arc machines. For the street railway load there are two motor-gen-erators, each consisting of two separate machines direct-connected by an insulating leather coupling. The alter-
