About that time we took over the Power Transitand Light Company at Bakersfield, with its gasworks, inadequate for the demands upon it; its rail-road (single track and vdthout ballast); its second-hand, antique type of cars, from San Franciscosearliest effort in that line; and with the power plantfifty per cent overloaded and no steam relay. Planswere formulated to build a 60,000-volt line down thewest and
