Mr.. Macdonald said today Inst
the power company expects to OBJ.
tain about 1900 power units froml
the arsenal station and with the
power obtained from the other two
water power stations . large
amount Of power can be furnished
industries for night work without
use of coal.
Cut Down Peak Loads.
"The idea is to cut down our.
peak loads" Mr.. Macdonald saids
During the day, with all factories
running, we are compelled to burn
large quantities of coal to furnish
the power needed and especially
during the early morning and early
evening hours when the street car
trafic is the heaviest.
with q number of the street
cars of and business establish
ments opening later in the MORN
ing we can better handle the ST.
uation without extra large con-
sumption of coal.
With factories closing at $40 In;
the afternoon and all other business
closing at I o'clock. we can handle
the afternoon peak loads to better
advantage. The whole plan n. to
avert the heavy power peaks that
demand huge amount Of coal.
I'm case We can get some OF tho
factories to operate at night tho
situation will be bettered to = great
extent"

Of the picture that presents itself
as congress comes back into ses-
