At Noranda the substation capacity was increased by the installaâ€" ticn of six 2.000 K.V.A. transformers. "To be ready to meet the anticipated increased demand, the new 13,000 horseâ€"power plant at the Upper Notch on the Montreal River, was comprleted and put into operation early in Novemâ€" ber. A 110,000 volt transmission line was built from the Upper Notch plant to the Quinze plant, a 11,000 volt lins was buili to supply power to the Cross Lake operations of the O‘Brien Mine, near Cosalt. A 44,000 volt lins was built to supp‘y power to the Telluride Mine in the Boston Creck area. "The increase in the demand for power has been fairly general in pracâ€" tically all districts supplied by the comâ€" pany. The Rouyn and Kirkland Lake Camps have shown the principal inâ€" creases. The Porcupine Camp, with the Dome mill now in cperation, is also showing a good increase. In the Cobalt, Gowganda and South Lorrain Camps, where silver is mined, the demand is off a little. Boston Creek is showing a little increase. The total number of our customers was increased during the year by 548, to 10,377. "The progress would have been more marked excer); for the fire which desâ€" troyed the mill at the Dome Mine. This reduced the revenue of the comâ€" pany considerably during the past year.

Apparently cne man, or maybe it is a woman, livirg now in Kirkland Lake, or living there at one time or another has that troublesome thing called a conscience. It may that the conâ€" scienceâ€"striken man is or was a rosiâ€" dent of Swastika. That sounds reasonâ€" able. But in any case there has been t least one conscience money case in Kirkland.

The petition stressed the value of such a road in opening up more mining territory. The petition will be forwarded to A. F. Kenning, M.L.A. for further action.

"The attention of our shareholders is directed to the very low rates which your company received for the service supplied, which service is without doubt an important factor in assisting in the upbuilding, growth and prosperity of the great mining industry which your company serves. It is to be noted that the gross electric revenue is less than 85â€"100ths of a cent per kilowatt hour, which, after taxation, is reduced to about of a cent per kilowatt hour. This figure is as low as that received by any similar undertaking on the conâ€" tinent, and it should be a source of pride to all our shareholders to know that your company is thus doing its part toward the development of the territory served. ceipts being absorbed by the contribuâ€" tions of your cocmpany to the Dominion and Provincial and Municipal exâ€" chequers. .« We call attention to this fact in order that our shareholders may realize the importance of this everâ€"inâ€" creasing factor in the conduct of our business and the handicap which is placed on this business, which is disâ€" criminated against by unfair taxation.
