Manning, from The Monthly z Bulletin "Highlights of the .Half "Century, 1891-1900" containing items for the different years from 1891 to 1900, and from that date up to the present. In 1891 it 'was stated that there were between four and five hundred installations with electric lighting and power plants being daily installed in every part of the country. That publication states that these four or five hundred small generators hav- ing a total capacity that would not exceed 40,000-h.p. may be called the beginningyof the Canadian electrical industry, which now has a primary power installation in central stations alone of around 8,000,000 h.p. Some of the items noted for the year 1891 are outlined hereunder. It was reported that the City of Montreal led the way in the exclusive adoption of electrical lighting for its streets. The Royal Electrical Com- pany there built extra stations "of immense power" during 1890. Quebec had extended its service by the intro-j duction of large generators to operate incadescent light. These were alter- nating current machines installed at ~Montmorency Falls, 14 miles away. -In Toronto the city closed a contract for five years for an additional illum- inating capacity of 400 lights. Central stations were having difficulty in the| larger centres keeping up with the " demand for electric lighting. -electrlc railway installations. Electric street railways had heen pronounced practicable but there were a number of difficulties which seemed to be holding back any number of There were objections to the "unsightly and cumbrous" overhead construction ne- cessitated by electric street rallways. There were many who advocated cars driven by storage batteries and the City of Toronto could not make up its __mind as to whether a trolley system "or storage battery system could be in- stalled in that city. Comparative costs of electric vs. horsepower were given hy a representative of the Thomson-Houston Electric Company before the Street Railway Committee of the Toronto City Council, which showed that in some eases reductions had heen made from 17 cents to 9 cents and B¢, per ile in favour of BROCK THEATRES ELASTIK ROOF KOTE Quickly Seals Leaks and Cracks in Your: 01d Roof!

WEST Toronto - Ontario 3 electricity. While the politicians de- bated about- the possible benefits of electric street railways, many centres across Canada were installing plants to operate street lights, Among minor difficulties not now encountered, a case is cited where in Windsor, Ontario; a couple of thieves stripped some. telephone wires from their poles and tried to sell them in a Detroit junk shop, Also™ the people of Rat Portage complained that their telephone service had been ruined or destroyed by the placing of electric light wires on thé same poles with the telephone wires, The first electric passenger elevator to be manufactured and operated in Canada was placed jn service in the Sun Life Building at Montreal, It was reported in 1891 that during 10 months the electric tramways at Vietoria+ B.C., had carried 720,000 passengers. The Ottawa Electric Railway Company, Limited, was in- corporated with a capital stock "of $5,000,000, The first electric tram- way for mining purposes in Canada was put into operation in the New Vancouver ,Coal Mines at Nanaimo, B.C. Electric light 'and some other electrical machinery were also install- ed at these mines, Montreal town clocks were regulated by electricity in the year 1891, . * W. CC.

The electric lighting system in Niagara Falls itself was! supplied by a steam driven generator, 'There had been talk of transmitting power to Buffalo. and even to New York from Niagara and alsé to Ham- ilton, London.and Toronto, but in 1891 it appeared to be commercially im- racticable, Alternating current mo- re were not in use yet, so only. d.c. distribution was. considered generally, Any scheme brought forward em- bodied into either d.c. transmission at what was considered to be a very high voltage (about 20,000 volts) with subsequent conversion to dc. at the receiving end. During 1891 the first mill ever es- tablished in the, Dominion for the manufacture of copper wire was built in Montreal by the Dominion Wire Manufacturing Company. ~. ("March of Time, 1891-194f") World's Largest Stretch of Lighted Highway T he world's . longest continuous lighted artery is the Queen Elizabeth Way in Ontario, extending from To- ronto to Niagara Falls, a distance of 70 miles, with a further extension of 20 miles proposed to Fort Erie, op- posite Buffalo, N.Y. "There are two concrete lanes, each 20-23 feet wide, with centre boulevard of 28-30 feet. The highway is well lighted throughout for. safe night driving. Lamps are 6000 lumen--4056 watts, multiple type with a life of 3000 hours, The installation is owned and operated by the Department of High- ways of Ontario. Engineering and construction was carried out by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, Bet te OP PAYING INCOME TAX ouT INCOME = Installment Plan Eases .Burden For many years people have been payingAncome Tax in a lump sum an- nually or by installments with inter- est, Now, with the number of in- come tax papers as well as Income Tax rates, substantially increased, the Dominion Government has. provided a method of payment out of income, which has enabled thousands to shoulder the ddded burden without financial embarrassment, Devised through the urgency of war financing, the plan is one which is so sound that people say to themselves, "Why did we not think of this before?" To gain the benefits of this install- ment plan, the first installment of the 1941 tax must be paid in September, | 1941. Those who paid the tax for] 1940 will pay onc-twelfth of the 1940) total during each of the last four; months of this year, and in January they will estimate their total tax pay- able at the new rates, By subsracting) from this the amount.already paid and | dividing the remainder by eight, they will know how. much to pay each month during the eight months of! 1942, January to August inclusive. Some ave called to fight our battles, | others merely to pay for them. These | taxes must be collected to provide for, the war effort, The Government an- ticipates a record, volume of business in tax, offices during September, in dealing with those who wish to take | advantage of this modern, sensible way to discharge their obligations. Only by commencing to pay in Sep- tember can this plan be followed. or , WOOD-TILL The, home of Mr. and Mrs, George Till, Greenbank, was the setting for al pretty ceremony Wednesday, Sept. 17, when their eldest daughter Audrey Georgina was married to Aircrafts- man Michael W.
