The total peak, including purchased powwas 162,400 , or 217,700 horse-power, occurring the same day. It is interesting to note that to generate the same amount of power as vgenerated by the Ontario Power Company, exclusive of the purchased power,the use of the best large-capacity steam plants yet built, would require more tons of the best steam coal or about 1,800 tons per day. including Sundaysand 1920 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 83 Niagara System During the past fiscal year the operation of the Niagara System has reacheda liigher point of efficiency than has hitherto been attained. This result has beenachieved by further successfully overcoming certain minor operating difficultiesexperienced in past years. With the cessation of hostilities in November, 191S, a large block of powerused by the manufacturers of munitions, became available for purely domesticmanufacturing. As a remarkable evidence of the rapid readjustment of industrialconditions, this excess power was very quickly absorbed, as will be noted from acomparison of the municipal peak loads in October, 1918, and October, 1919, andalso from the load curve attached. The service supplied by the Ontario Power Company left little to be severe operating conditions due to the insufficient generatingcapacity, continuous service was maintained. During the ye
