years as I have been In electrical work for some time and as I also spent some four years in he employ of the Toronto and York Company I am with their system I attended a Hydro meeting years ago held in the Town Hall hero when one of the Hydro speaking distinctly to lie people Ihat it was an impos sibility for a transmission line cars to give good service for both for he town He said to prove the York inability to supply both power and light all that would he necessary for one to do would be to lake short ride on one of their car and observe Hie fluctuation he light and slow progress of the car In this statement he led Ihe people to believe that the town would he with Power and Light from Hie Trolley Line Now I want to say that the town would not get her pnwcV and from this trolley line from he Companys Transmission lines To illustrate how are operated The Company have several Power s along llieir line are installed motordriven gen erators generators driven directly by the Companys Transmission lines and Ihey generate the direct current that operates the cars These gene rators have nothing to do with Power and Lighting of the town and if at any lime a fluctuation of ho llights or a slow motion Of the ear is observed it is owing to the extra service and heavy traffic This I wish you to know has nothing to do with the Com panys transmission lines and as a matter of fact the transmis sion line carries an abundance of electric current enough I ven ture to say to turn all the factory wheels between Toronto and and to illuminate all the intervening places as well I might say that although two years ago in the Town Hall fle Hydro people declared the impos sibility of the York Hadials sup plying the town with both Power and Light they submitted the same proposition to this
