THURSDAY, MAY sTH. 1933 The first item is by no means the greatest. It is the cost of generation. â€"It is divided into two parts, one conâ€" sisting of interest on the capital involved in the plant, the dams, etc., and it is an item often entirely overlooked by the layman. It is a variable item, too, for the quesâ€" tion of market for power enters in. For instance, asâ€" suming for argument‘s sake that a 10,000 h.p. plant can be built for a million dollars, it follows that interest on this amount must be met whether the plant is running In order to show the fallacy of some ideas, a knowledge of the true items of the cost of power is necessary. Then in respect of the capital cost in the generating of power is the second point that money must be set aside ecach year against the depreciation of the plant and its eventual renewal, and against the retirement of the iniâ€" tial capital. The power plant that serves a big city may continue in undiminished operation for fifty or one hunâ€" dred years. _ It is plain that the power plant which serves a mining field may be in an altogether different category. The actual cost of generating power is only a small proâ€" portion of the total incurred by the time the customer takes delivery. In practice the ratios vary, as one comâ€" parny may serve a few large users whose plants are close To arrive at a proper conception of the power situation in the North, or anywhere else, it is necessary to underâ€" stand various factors which enter into the cost of power. Many people confuse electric power with other commoâ€" dities, such as wheat or potatoes. â€" Some think that if energy can be sold in one place at a certain price it can be sold at the same price in another.

Even after the line has been brought to the street in front of the customer‘s house the expense has not ended. Serâ€" vice wires must be installed, a meter provided and this meter read periodically. Offices must be maintained for the preparation of hills and collection of accounts. to the power station, while another may supply a multiâ€" tude of consumers spread over remote areas. _ With a company serving an extensive mining district the exâ€" pense of transmission and distribution rapidly assumes proportions which greatly exceed the cost of producing power. The experiences of a large number of power producers have made it possible, though, to arrive at an average proportion of the total cost, as illustrated above. In the industry a clear distinction is made between transmission costs and distribution costs. The first term is applied to the system of transmission lines over which power that has been stepped up to a high voltage in order to avert excessive line loss is conducted from the generatâ€" ing station to the subâ€"station which acts as a distributing centre. Where power has to be sent long distances, as in the North, volitage has to be stepped up very high, enâ€" tailing the installation of heavy and expensive transforâ€" mers as well as costly lines adapted to such higher volâ€" tages. At the other end costly transformers and subâ€" stations are required to step down the power. By the time all these items are added together an imparâ€" tial observer will see that there are a host of costs which cannot be avoided and are never suspected by the layman. It is at this point that the heavy expenses of distriâ€" bution begin to mount up, for in order to serve the resiâ€" dents of a town many poles, lines and transformers must be provided in order to deliver the small quantity of elecâ€" tricity used in an ordinary house. These lines require to be maintained in all kinds of weather, against the ravâ€" We had almost overlooked the matter of taxesâ€"where the power supplier pays taxes. This company last year paid taxes at the rate of a thousand dollars a day.

Mr. Mulligan‘s report of how a moose fights is also not good natural history. As it is well known to many oldâ€"timers, it is very often in the water that the bear tackles his moose, riding on the vicâ€" tim‘s back and butting down into the mcose‘s neck from the top, the same way in which a bear kills a large pig. What good are the moose‘s front feet to him possibly a half mile or more out from shore. Furthermore a bull moose has no horns in the spring of the year nor a cow mcose at any time.
