THE DAILY NEWS FORMERLY MISS DOROTHY PA who was bo Paris, on Ju 1885. Parker-~Deacon, triot’s heaven, on October 30, TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF PRINCE RUPERT Continued from page 1) the point of delivery at the city of Prince Rupert. As this con- tract is evidently to be made the base on which to promote the en- terprise, I deem it but just and fair that the installation of the plant transmission lines and aii auxiliaries should be according to the specifications of the city and under the supervision of their representative. It should also be stated specifically when the hydro-electric plant at Falls River is to be started and com- pleted, and that the initial in- stallation of the first unit should exceed he estimated emand by at least 25 per cent. Paragraph 6 of the contract is very ambiguous and practically means nothing, as the term “commercial practice’ is as varied as its uses, the voltage and frequency of the power fur- nished should be defined within certain co-ordinate lines of the normal voltage with its percent- age of variation distinctly stated. Paragraph 7 relates to the en- ergy delivered to the consumer ai 12,000 volis. This, in my opinion, should be changed to either 2,000 or 2,200 volis, as outside of the question of trans- former losses a more serious mutation of a high potential en- ergy to the consumers’ lines, ANTHONY On July 5, 1910, Prinee Anthony George, Prince Radziwill, w question is involved in the trans- | RKER-DEACON, THE PRINCESS RADZIWILL Albert Radziwill, eldest son of as married to Miss Dorothy rn an American in her compa- ly 12, 1892. The prince was born The city should install its recording wait meter, receive and pay for its energy at a com- mercial voltage in order to elim- inate all risks from damage . to iis patrons from high votage lines that it does not control. In regard to the meter tests, it would, I think, be the better practice to have them tested every three months by certified instruments as a maiier of rou- tine, and thus eliminate to a large degree the oral equation that is so hard to detect until | scandal and, perhaps, innocent ;people are involved. The paragraph relating to the increase in power should be more specific in giving the city the jright to order a further installa- tion of power units whenever their maximum demand reaches to within, I would say, 25 per cent. of the maximum efficiency of the companys plant, and that the company should agree to in- stall these units within a rea- sonable time based upon the size of the unit. In regard to the many arbitra- tion clauses contained in this coztract, I am not in a position to comment upon the same, ex- cept in a general way: That I be- lieve the terms and conditions of a contract of this nature should be reduced to specific terms and jone general arbitration ciause should cover the entire contract. Paragraph 22 applies to the isale of energy to other consum- ee and the life of this contract Taken whenever there is Suffering Humanity Finds thatrelief must be found for the illswhich may come any day, —else suffering is prolonged and thereis dangerthatgraver trouble will follow.

Many changed conditions occur in that period, and as the city of Prince Rupert is, I believe, looking forward to becoming « manufacturing centre, it should be protected by a clause that the company furnishing this power should not sell to any one for less than its unit price to your city, plus the citys cost of disribution. If this is not included the time may come when other parties might be able to reap the benefit of your present enterprise by se- curing a lower rate and building industrial plants at other points to the detriment of your city. The city should be protected from interruption of service, ex- cept for causes absolutely beyond the control of the company, and a penalty provided for frequent breaks that would induce the company to install and maintain a plant and service of the high- est efficiency, for which the city could well afford to pay a sub- stantial bonus; in addition to this eancel this contract if, after six months’ notice, the company failed, neglected or refused to furnish efficient service. All of these matters can, I be- lieve, be adjusted and specifically stated if your city is desirous of entering into a contract for power and the campany is willing to furnish the same on ea fair and equitable basis. Respectfully submitted, J. J. MANEY.
