Prise Utilities Commission finds that under present conditions it ean supply power enough to oper- ate four street ears. The street rail- way is now reesiving hydro power, but by means of a small generator. Efforts are being madé by the Hydro-Electric Comanyission to pur- chase for the plant a 350 harse-pow- er generatdr so as to supply the street cars, but it may be gome weeks before one could be in- stalled. Owing to the scarcity and high price of coal, it is considered inadvisable to operate the street rallway's steam engine any longer, and only a small quantity of hydro power cian be supplied through the present generator. Hence in case of a storm the ears would have to re pire from service temporarily so as to permit of the tracks being kept open by the sweeper and plough.
