The load towards Bow-eO Bay is increasing so rapidly that it will shortly be necessaryto construct a sub-station in that section to be equipped and oper-ated only in summer—all transforming apparatus to be removed inwinter. A total of thirteen sub-stations are contemplated and arcto be erected as the city develops. The great advantage of the alternating system to the company isdue to the fact that during the winter the power can be utilized inthe congested districts for the beating of the cars aufl in flu/^ifi^ ew TZTn b^> Tf)T.\I.

During the winter some of the apparatus in these outlyingstations will be moved inln the congested districts .lud thus made tofollow the load. All the sub-stations are thoroughly fireproof and all the apparatus has been installed in a thoroughly workmanlike manner,with the result that the operation of the sub-stations has lluis farproved very satisfactory. The return circuit for the power has been carefully provided fcirand a capacity equal to twice that of the outgoing circuit has beenarranged for. This return circuit consists of the tracks, the elevatedstructure and special ground wires. The tracks are bonded withtwo No. 0000 lionds Ml the outlying sections, but near the stationsand suli-station« this is increased to six No. ocoo bonds. Whereverspecial work is
