'city who would work for the glory of service, "but coil price, An advantage in combining the wilvay with the hydro-electric: power is this--it costs less to transform the electric current in units 'for individual use. Ordinarily the power cable "carries 110, 000 olts, and it would be very expensive to provide transformers for eac user, to step the current down to meet the requirements of individuals. When a raidial railway i is Yun in connection with the power system, - 'the voltage is only 2200, and it is comparatively inexpensive to step. it down to the voltage required by private users, Mr. Gaby, the engineering expert of the Hydro-Elegtric-Commission said that she proposed radial railway would give an 'hourly service be- tween Port Perry and Toronto. There would be frequent stopping places. In fact provision is being made to erect shelters at practically every sideroad along the route. ~The average rate of travel "will 'be 26 miles'an hour, with a maximum of 55 miles an hour. . The passenger rate will be two cents a mile or less. A right of way has been arranged for to admit the radial railway to the heart of the city. This may be either underground or overhead. The guage of the railway will be suitable for making connection with 'other railways: Speaking of the use of electric power on the farm, Mr. Gaby pointed out the value of so arranging the work as to use the power as constantly as possible. All the work of the average farm could be carned on by the use of a two-and-a-half horse power motor; but all the work cannot be done at the same time. ~~ For instance, the order might be something like this -- milking, pumping, chopping, churning, sawing, grinding, etc. At night the power can be used to heat a large boiler of water for service next day. Some other phases of this subject will be presented in later issues. bE es SOC - ORCHARD has received great praise for. selling only the best Anthracite Coal--D. L, & W.
