The Switchboard The switchboard was supplied liy the Canadian GeneralElectric Comtpany in 1913, and also all additions made sincethat time. It is a very simple arrangement of remote mech-anical control with no duplication of bus bars or switches,and no disconnecting switches, and has proven very satisfact-ory. The fact that in eleven years of continuous operationthere has been only one interruption of service due to switch-board trouble, bears this out very well. As the plant capac-ity increased it was of course necessary to install circuitbreakers of higher rupturing capacity. The Street Railway Supply The street railway is not owned by the city and up toFebruary, 1931, the railway company produced their own. Jaw Light and Power Department power, .^t that time, the entered into a contract tosupply this power, and a 500 kw., 2300 volt synchronousmotor-generator set was installed by the company in thecity plant. The auxiliary equipment also includes Weir boiler feed Total lievenue Number Accts. $105, 1979 128, 2960 195, 3450 179, 3126 162, 3489 186, 3760 4027 4184,270, 4602 4759 4910 pumps, a Hoppes metering feed-water heater, Bailey coalmeters and a Refinite water softening plant. The Table above shows not only the rapid growth of thisbusiness but also a marked improvement in load conditionssince the year 1910. While this remarkable increase in plant output is par-tially accounted for by increase in population, as indicatedby the increase in the numiber of accounts, the most of it isdue to increased sales for power purposes. During the year1921 the sale of electric en
