La Loutre Reservoir, capacity 160,000 million cubic feet, is the second largest artificial reservoir in the world, being exceeded only by Gatun Lake, Panama Canal, which has a capacity of 183,000 million cubic feet. INTRODUCTION IT is sometimes stated that the degree of progress and civilization of a country may be gauged by its electric development; in this respect, and with due regard to population, the results of the investigation shown in this report demonstrate quite clearly that Canada stands in the front rank. The extensive developments which have marked the industrial and domestic use of electric energy in Canada are noteworthy. The importance of obtaining reliable and comprehensive information on this subject needs no demonstration. It is self-evident, and the Com- mission of Conservation recognized its desirability six years ago. In 1912, the writer pointed out the need of a power survey;* this was undertaken by the Mining Engineer of the Commission, and much valuable data were collected. It was found, however, that the immense field covered by the investigation, combined with the Commission's limited financial resources, rendered it necessary to confine the enquiry to one branch at a time. Attention was, therefore, first directed to electric power plants, the in- formation relating to such being usually available in greater detail and being more reliable. The object of the present report is to show the important place electric energy occupies in Canada and, at the same time, provide the various companies and individuals concerned therewith with infor- mation regarding the operation and general conditions obtaining in other places. One of the greatest incentives to progress is the dissemination of knowledge of what is being done outside one's own immediate sphere. The report also will serve, in large part, as a general power survey, as, in most cases, the kind of power used to operate an electric plant in a certain district will be found the most advantageous. In a recent paper, Mr. Julian C. Smith, of the Shawinigan Water and Power Co., stated that:f “We may, some day, see the time when practically everyone will obtain electric power as readily as they now obtain telephone service or the service of good roads, but these problems cannot be solved without due regard to the factors involved, and the sooner everyone realizes that such factors do exist, the closer we may arrive at a solution of one of the most difficult problems which now exist n the sale of electric power in small units. ... We are in the midst of an enormous extension in electric power systems, and we may look forward to doubling the sale of electric energy in the next ten years. The greater portion of the information for the report was obtained by correspondence directly with the principals of the organizations involved. When necessary, however, the data were supplemented by personal visits. In draughting the questionnaire containing the information desired, only items which it was thought might be obtained from, at least, a great majority of the plants, were included. The information covered electric plants of all types, hydro-electric, steam and internal combustion, also transmission lines, sub-stations, distribution systems and rates. All plants * Third Annual Report, Commission of Conservation, 1912, p. 43. He,m † Proceedings, Canadian Electrical Association, 1917, pp. 93, 94. 2 COMMISSION OF CONSERVATION and systems supplying electric energy as public utilities for lighting, power, heating, etc., are comprised, including certain large establishments, such as pulp and paper mills and mines, where the energy produced is not exclu- sively used for their own industrial operations. The questions suggesting the various items desired were grouped under six different schedules, covering (1) hydraulic plants, (2) steam plants, (3) internal combustion engine plants, (4) transmission lines, (5) substations, (6) distribution systems, the appropriate form, of course, accompanying each request for information. The principal items suggested under each schedule were: Hydraulic Plants-Dams and hydraulic works, head utilized, flow of river, utilization of storage, hydraulic troubles, power houses, turbines, generators, station transformers, demand, output, service, interruptions, costs and date of installation. Steam and Internal Combustion Plants-Power houses, boilers, gas producers, engines and turbines, generators, fuel, service, costs and date of installation. Transmission Lines-Situation, length, voltage, construction, losses, protection, cost. Substations-Purchased energy, transformers, output. Distribution-Mileage of streets covered, voltage, line transformers, consumers, connected load, costs, rates, street lighting. The answers received were most satisfactory, but, in certain cases, delay was occasioned by subsequent correspondence to obtain additional data or to clarify apparently conflicting statements. In this connection, deep appreciation and thanks are expressed to the officials of the various organizations for their courtesy and co-operation, upon which depended the completeness of the report. Publications giving some of the data are available, but the information in these is very limited, and none of them cover Canada in a thorough manner, thus giving a wrong impression, much to the detriment of this country as to its development along electrical lines. It is felt that the present report represents the situation in a com- plete and thorough manner. The information shows that there is a total of 565 electric generating plants in Canada, with an aggregate capacity of 2,107,743 h.p., and sup- plying not less than 752 distributing systems of varying importance, which cover some 973 places. If we group the plants according to the kinds of prime-movers, we find: 270 Hydro-electric plants, aggregating...... 1,806,618 h.p. 201 Steam plants, aggregating. 288,202 h.p. 49 Gas* plants, aggregating 8,157 h.p. 45 Oil or gasolene engine plants, aggregating 4,766 h.p. 2,107,743 h.p. These figures give a very fair idea of the power situation, and show the unquestionable predominance of water-power over all other sources. The Electrical World, in its issue of June 16, 1917, stated editorially that: * Practically all producer-gas engine plants. a INTRODUCTION 3 “While central station managers in the United States have been rather restive since war was declared, wondering how they would weather the approaching storm, our Canadian friends have passed through the crisis unscathed. Bereft, as some of them have been, through the vol- untary enlistment of fully 35 per cent of their staffs, and faced also with extraordinary difficulties of financing and of securing coal, they have met the situation manfully, and, instead of suffering loss, are enjoying a pros- perity wholly undreamed of and never before equalled. Happily, almost all of the electricity used in Canada is generated from water-power, so that the scarcity and high price of fuel are not felt universally in the Dominion; but the demands for energy have been so great that all steam reserve apparatus as well had to be pressed into continuous service. In the use of electricity we have much to learn from Canada. The per capita consumption of electricity in Canada is enormous. True, the manufacture of munitions has helped to swell the figures, but the total without that is still very large. The war has caused Canadians to make a virtue out of necessity in a way very much to their credit. Had selective conscription been adopted in Canada from the start, as it has been in this country, many of the highly trained and dependable men would have been spared to the companies to help carry the burden. American managers may therefore take heart. With all their anxieties and perplexities, our Canadian friends have been equal to every emergency, and, what is most encouraging, they show no sign of overwork. On the contrary, they are unusually cheerful.” Although the present survey only comprises, electric plants, the comparative figures are probably true for other industries. They are un- doubtedly correct where the cost of power is of importance, as this factor governs the choice of prime-movers in electric generation and distribution more than in any other industry, and it is a fair inference that the mode of operation of any particular station is, for that locality, the most econ- omical way of producing power. It is often pointed out that Canada is very favourably endowed with primary power resources and, except for a portion of the Middle West, either water-power or coal is found in abundance, while, in British Columbia, we have both resources; in fact, we find that some coal mines are operated by hydro-electric energy. The situation in various parts of Canada is well illustrated by the figures in the report. We have steam and water-power in the Maritime Provinces with a predominance of the former. In Quebec, Ontario and eastern Manitoba, water-power is the dominating source of power, every large centre and most of the smaller ones being supplied by electricity produced from water-power, either through the extensive net-work of transmission lines fed from large developments or by smaller local plants. In the Middle West, large plants are steam operated, while the smaller ones use internal combustion engines. In British Columbia and western Alberta, we again find water-power predominating, but the generous coal supply in certain districts also permits considerable steam operation. We have reason to congratulate ourselves on the type of plants found in all our large hydro-electric installations. Usually, the works are of most substantial construction, and the most expert engineering advice has 4 COMMISSION OF CONSERVATION been obtained, while the equipment is in keeping and comprises both hydraulic and electrical machinery of the most efficient type. The same, unfortunately, cannot be said of many of our small plants and, particularly in the older ones, there is undoubtedly great room for improvement. The old wooden dams are usually very leaky and, especially on small streams, a considerable proportion of the flow is wasted, while the remaining water is often lost in a vain effort to operate an obsolete and inefficient water- wheel, installed years ago and never properly repaired and adjusted. In many cases, we find in these defects the real cause of a shut-down from lack of water in winter. The same comment applies to our steam plants; the large ones, although a number of them are only used as auxiliaries, are very efficiently equipped and operated, but many of our small plants show much room for improvement. It cannot be expected, however, that a small plant will show the same efficiency and economy of operation as a large one. As auxiliary plants only operate intermittently, the question of economical operation, while most desirable, naturally does not receive the same con- sideration as in plants operating continuously, and the latter can stand much heavier overhead charges, so long as such charges result in increased efficiency and reduce operating costs. There are many small plants in the prairie sections, where the price of fuel is high, the majority of them using oil, gasolene or producer-gas. Considering such munici- palities, and others in their vicinity which desire electric service, it would seem to be worth while to generate energy in large steam plants, situated at suitable distribution centres, and thus supply transmission systems extending to the various communities within economic radius. The larger the plant, the greater the economy, up to plants of some 50,000 k.w. or more. In a paper read before the Institution of Civil Engineers, Mr. E. M. Lacey states* that there is considerable difference in plants up to 12,000 k.w., while the ultimate limit, beyond which no appreciable advantage would accrue by reason of concentration of plant in large power houses, may be taken at 40,000 to 50,000 k.w., but such ultimate capacity must be governed largely by the length of the transmission lines necessary to serve the area of supply. In an article in the Electrical World, for May 26, 1917, Mr. Earl D. Jackson makes a comparison in economy between small local oil-engine plants and energy received from distant large steam plants, and concludes that, under the conditions that usually obtain, a transmission line 20 miles in length can compete advantageously with a small local plant. The ownership of the various plants included in the report Ownership is divided into 207 municipal or publicly-owned plants of of Plants t 452,508 h.p. total capacity, and 358 privately-owned plants of 1,655,235 h.p. total capacity. * Times Engineering Supplement, March 30, 1917, p. 76. + See Table V, page 281. INTRODUCTION 5 a Much has been said for and against municipal or public ownership, as compared with private ownership, of public utilities, the difference of opinion being most pronounced with reference to electric systems. Muni- cipal ownership seems desirable in the case of a large plant, operated under the direction of a competent technical man, or when forming part of a large organization, and operated with the advice of a competent technical head. This is particularly important where the municipality operates the gen- erating station, as, when energy is purchased in block, the municipality only has to look after the distribution and the case is much simpler, the burden of management falling rather on the cost accounting end of the undertaking. Typical examples of the two kinds of ownership are furnished by two of our largest systems; the Niagara system of the Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission, with a total load of over 201,000 h.p., supplying some 120 municipal distributions and covering an area approximately 210 miles by 85 miles; and the system of the Shawinigan Water and Power Co., in the province of Quebec, with a total load of 205,000 h.p., supplying some 76 distribution systems directly or indirectly and covering a triangular area of 140 miles base by 75 miles in height. The activities of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission, which are thoroughly described in the body of the report, have been a great incentive to municipal ownership in Ontario, but we also find many municipal sys- tems in other provinces. In Quebec, for instance, while the great bulk of the energy is distributed under private ownership, there are a number of municipal systems, some obtaining their supply in block from the Shaw- inigan and other large non-public systems. In the Prairie Provinces, with very few exceptions, all the larger and many of the smaller systems are operated under municipal control. Commenting on municipal plants in this portion of Canada, but referring particularly to the larger centres, Mr. A. G. Christie states* that a large portion of their success is attri- butable to the character of the people; that, being a young man's country, all are optimistic and have a spirit of co-operation, which provides a sound basis for their municipal ownership ventures. Live interest is taken by the public in all utilities, stimulating up-to-date equipment, operation and organization. The administration of these utilities is usually in the hands of either a commissioner, a superintendent or an electrical engineer, and, when such officials are free from aldermanic interference, the utility is administered well and economically. The plants, naturally, vary greatly in size; our largest Size of Plants † hydro-electric development is 488,800 h.p., in the three large power plants at Niagara; the large installations are not all confined to this site, however, there being 5 plants of over 100,000 h.p. and 36 plants of over 10,000 h.p. capacity. The largest single plant is the Ontario Power Co., now operated by the Ontario Hydro-Electric * Proceedings, American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1916, vol. 35, p. 33. + See Table IV, page 280. 6 COMMISSION OF CONSERVATION Power Commission at Niagara, with a total capacity of 211,300 h.p., while the largest single unit is 20,000 h.p., at Grand'mère, Que. The average head of water utilized is not exceedingly high, but many of our large hydro-electric plants operate under fairly high heads, such as 140 to 180 ft. at Niagara, 145 ft. at Shawinigan, 83 ft. at Grand' mère and 400 ft. at the Coquitlam-Buntzen plants near Vancouver. The highest head in eastern Canada is 540 ft., at the 8,000-h.p. plant at Eugenia falls, Ont., while, in the West, we have a head of 1,820 ft. for hydro-electric purposes at Britannia Beach, B.C., where the development also provides a total head of 3,530 ft. in two steps of 1,450 ft. and 2,080 ft. for the direct operation of other machinery. On the other hand, one of our largest plants, recently installed at Cedars, Que., operates under a head of 30 feet. The plant at Hamilton, Ont., 26,667 h.p., is the largest steam-power plant in Canada and is used as an auxiliary, while the plant at Edmonton, Alta., 14,234 h.p. is the largest steam plant operated continuously. Although the service from hydro-electric plants, where long distance transmission is necessary, is becoming much more reliable, our investi- gation disclosed that many of them were provided with auxiliary steam plants. Some of these auxiliary steam plants are used, not only in emergencies, but at regular periods during certain years when low water prevents the water-power plant carrying its full load. In a recent paper Mr. H. St. Clair Putnam* expressed the opinion that practically all water- power plants should be developed beyond the minimum power available and, hence, in combination with a steam plant; also, that the economic limit depends largely on the cost of fuel and labour, the increasing efficiency of steam turbines and the location of the enterprise. The combination is justified in many cases, where, for instance, deficient water conditions for limited periods would prevent the full utilization of a water-power site without auxiliary power of some kind. Such auxiliary steam plant, how- ever, should never be decided upon without full investigation of storage possibilities, as provision by storage as a means of providing for insufficient power due to deficient flow will, in many cases, prove more economical, and, at the same time, will conserve coal. It is most gratifying to note the very rapid increase in the Conservation Reservoirs | use of stored water in connection with our hydro-electric developments, both large and small, and no less than 59 plants report the successful operation of this method of providing for increased flow at low-water periods. Many difficulties encountered in the early years in connection with efficient operation seem to have been over- come by careful observation and study of conditions from year to year. By carefully regulating the release from storage reservoirs, water is successfully conveyed over long distances to the power plant and with a minimum of loss. Among government undertakings of this nature may be mentioned the three large reservoirs at lakes Timiskaming, Kipawa and Proceedings, American Institute of Electrical Engineers, June 1917, pp. 531-548. + See Table I, page 232. INTRODUCTION 7 Trouble from Icet Quinze to regulate the flow of the Ottawa river; La Loutre reservoir on the St. Maurice river; lake St. Francis dam for the river of the same name; the extensive system of smaller conservation reservoirs on the Trent river, Ont., and lake Minne wanka, on the upper waters of Bow river; also the reservoirs on Jordan river and Goldstream, near Victoria, of the B.C. Elec- tric Ry. Co. Many of the plants reporting are enthusiastic respecting results obtained from individual undertakings and, frequently, the capacity has been raised to double or more. In connection with water conservation operations, difficulties sometimes arise in apportioning among the various users the charges for the stored water. Adequate legislation governing such apportionment should suppress arbitrary or indiscriminate action. If such action were permitted it would be most detrimental to the further extension of this beneficial practice. Although much has been accomplished of late years in the way of preventing or minimizing ice troubles, we still find a number of complaints respecting such difficulties. In most cases, it is probable that they could have been avoided had proper precautions been taken, but, frequently, on account of their intermittent occurrence, the requisite measures are not taken until the troubles have actually developed. Mr. J. A. Walls, in a paper on 'Frazil Ice-Handling Methods,'* presents a statement of ice-handling methods at Holtwood, Pa., on the Susquehanna river. He demonstrates that the most important factors are, (1) early knowledge of impending ice trouble and (2) preparedness. Practically all energy for distribution is generated as alter- Types of Generators i nating current. The types of generators comprise various phases, frequencies and voltages. All large plants and a great many of the smaller plants operate at three-phase; a number of the older plants, some of a fair size, still use two-phase, while the single-phase systems are confined to small plants which have also been installed for some time. The principal frequencies used are 60, 30 and 25 cycles, while frequencies of over 100 cycles are still found in the older plants of small size. There is naturally a great variety of generator voltages, these being adapted to suit the most economic power plant design. In plants sup- plying distribution systems direct at the generator voltage, we find 2,200 volts predominates; also 550 volts where a large amount of motive power is supplied near the plant; also 12,000 volts in plants where all or a portion of the energy is transmitted a certain distance at this voltage. With the exception of electric railway service and, in a few places for a portion of the industrial power service, direct current generation is practically con- fined to very small plants. Such plants sometimes use storage batteries to provide continuous service, while the generating units operate only a portion of the time. In this connection, storage batteries are very con- venient, but often too little attention is given to the batteries. Such lack of care results in rapid deterioration and the batteries soon become | See Table I, page 232. | See Table V, page 281. Proceedings of National Electric Light Association, Fortieth Convention, 1917, p. 155. 8 COMMISSION OF CONSERVATION very inefficient if not almost useless, whereas, if proper attention had been given, satisfactory service could have been expected. The aggregate maximum demand on the plants included in Character of Loads this report is 1,078,298 k.w., of which 1,003,955 k.w. is on hydro-electric, 69,924 k.w. on steam, and 4,419 k.w. on internal combustion engine plants. The division between the various services, such as lighting and power, could not be obtained from all plants and systems, but available data indicate that 31 per cent is used for light- ing, 59 per cent for power and 10 per cent for miscellaneous. The load factor on the larger plants is stated in the report, but, in some instances, such information respecting the smaller plants was unobtainable. For the larger hydro-electric plants, the load factor usually varies from 50 to 80 per cent, while in plants supplying large blocks for metallurgical or chemical purposes, it may reach from 90 to 100 per cent. On steam plants of fairly large size, 30 to 40 per cent power factor is usually recorded, but 60 per cent may be reached in exceptional cases where the load comprises mainly mining or other industrial operations requiring 24-hour power. Of the various plants, 274 give a continuous service, night and day, while 220 give only a night service, but, as the latter only comprise small installations, their total capacity is relatively unimportant. The re- maining 71 plants are used as auxiliaries. It is very difficult to obtain accurate data on cost of genera- Cost of Generation tion which could be used to compare conditions at various plants. An attempt to keep a record of this information is made in most plants, but the manner of arriving at it varies greatly. The chief difficulty lies in the inclusion for certain plants and omission in others of various items which are comprised in the total cost given. In some cases, the overhead charges are left out, which leads to most erroneous figures, especially in hydro-electric plants; in certain steam plants, only fuel and oil costs are considered. On the other hand, some plants keep this information in a very accurate and detailed manner. Such plants include all chargeable items, sub-dividing the total cost into various parts and extend it to the transmission and distribution costs. The cost of generation for hydro-electric plants is usually given in dollars per h.p.-year, and among the lowest reported is a cost of $8.50 per h.p.-year, the plant being only some 10,000 h.p. capacity, but operating under a 90-foot head; for very large plants, the cost should be even substantially lower, while for plants of the same order it varies from $8.50 to $15 per h.p.-year; in smaller hydro-electric plants, $30 to $40 per h.p.-year may be reached. Steam plant costs are more often expressed in cents per k.w.h. and they vary greatly with the service, size of plant and with its geographic situation, as affecting the price of fuel; in steam plants of over 500 h.p. capacity, the reported generation cost varies generally * See Table VI, page 282. INTRODUCTION 9 Lines * from 0.7 cent to 5 cents per k.w.h., while in smaller plants it varies from 3 to 15 cents per k.w.h. Transmission lines in Canada operate under many different Transmission voltages up to 110,000 volts. There are only three systems . using over 100,000 volts, namely, the Niagara system of the Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission, the Shawinigan Water and Power Co., and the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Consolidated on the line from its Cedars plant to Massena, N.Y. Lines of various voltages from 10,000 upward aggregate 5,490 miles and are as follows: 10,000 to 30,000 volts aggregate. 2,428 miles 30,000 to 99,000 2,485 100,000 volts and upwards aggregate. 577 5,490 miles The cost per mile of the different lines naturally varies with the mode of construction, size and number of conductors and voltage for which con- structed. For voltages of from 10,000 to 50,000 volts, the figures given show a wide variation of from $600 to $11,000 per mile, while on 100,000-volt lines and over, we have from $7,500 to $14,000 per mile. Iron wire transmission lines have been used in many instances lately, owing to the very high prices of copper and aluminium. The use of iron wire seems well adapted for short extensions and rural distribution, but, in some cases, it has also been used on fairly long lines. In a recent article, Mr. M. D. Lesliet gives examples of 22,000-volt iron transmission lines, one of them 31 miles long, for relatively light loads. Although, as the article points out, the design and operation of these lines involve certain principles different from lines of other materials, they are most satisfactory where light loads are to be carried comparatively long distances. Such lines have been found to return a fair rate on the investment, while copper, at present prices, would have debarred construction. The figures given under the heading of distribution are only meant to give a general idea of the relative extent and importance of the various systems. Many other details could have been inserted under this head, but, as they could only have been obtained respecting a very limited number of plants, the investigation would not have served the desired purpose. The number of miles of streets covered by the various systems gives an idea of the area served, while the number of consumers and connected load show the general concentration; the number and sizes of line or distribution transformers indicate, in a measure, the possibilities of local concentration. These various points are of importance in determining relative first costs and maintenance. Of the 752 distribution systems in Canada, 389 are municipal or publicly controlled, while 363 are under private ownership. The systems included cover a total of 11,852 miles of streets and supply 730,697 consumers with Distribution Data * * See Table VII, page 283. † Electrical World, Oct. 13, 1917, vol. 70, p. 715. 10 COMMISSION OF CONSERVATION an estimated connected load of 497,846 k.w. for lighting and appliances and 970,505 h.p. for power. The prevalent primary voltage of distribution is 2,200 Distribution Voltages volts, or from 2,000 to 2,400 volts, but 4,000 to 6,600 volts is becoming more and more used, particularly in rural dis- tribution and systems comprising a number of small centres within eight or ten miles of the local source of supply. A number of systems still use 1,100 volts, but practically only in old systems installed before this voltage had been superseded. Lower distribution primary voltages of from 500 to 600 volts are only used in rare instances where large power loads are sup- plied directly at this voltage from the local source of supply, while line transformers stepping down to 110 volts are used to supply the lighting consumers. The secondaries for lighting are usually at 110 volts or from 100 to 120 volts, but, in many cases, three-wire secondary distribution is used with 110 volts on each side. For motive power, large motors are supplied direct at the primary voltage of 2,200 volts, while, for smaller motors, the secondary voltages are usually either 220, 440 or 550 volts. With a few exceptions, direct current distribution is found only in very small systems, some taking advantage of this to utilize storage batteries to supply a continuous service. The information relating to line transformers was not obtainable in certain cases, but, with a fair estimate of the deficient data, the total number is 61,100, giving an aggregate capacity of 607,000 k.w. As probably the question of rates charged to consumers will be one of great interest to those consulting this report, a word of warning is necessary to prevent the drawing of hasty conclusions when establishing comparisons in this connection. As might be expected, lower rates are generally found where hydro-electric energy is available, but rates are influenced by many extraneous circum- stances. Naturally, there may be a fairly large margin between rates charged and the cost of energy at the power plant or substation, due to features of the distribution system. In some cases, it costs almost as much to distribute as it does to generate. In other instances, where the dis- tribution system is restricted and the load confined to a small area, distribution cost may be a very small item. It is also often difficult to establish a fair comparison between various rates on account of the dif- ferent systems of charging used in various places. For instance, the Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission has adopted a system of rates based on a fixed charge plus a meter rate varying with the consump- tion, in other words, a combination flat and meter rate, and a comparison with a straight flat or straight meter rate can only hold for a specific example with stated conditions and consumption. The working out of proper rates is one of the most important and intricate problems facing an electric distribution organization, and there are, doubtless, a number of cases, particularly in some of the smaller systems, where a proper policy * See Table III, page 254. Rates * INTRODUCTION 11 In a with regard to the sale of current has not been adopted. Frequently, as a result of such mistaken policy, the maximum revenue possible is not derived from the plant. For instance, in one of our small western towns, the supply for the distribution system was contracted for in block, the municipality agreeing to take a specified minimum amount of energy. The town has never been able to dispose of this minimum amount, owing to the excessively high rates charged on the energy actually sold, which, of course, checked consumption very materially. On the other hand, had the rates been reduced, thus stimulating consumption, the energy used might have reached the minimum stipulated and the revenue would have been increased without additional cost for the block power contracted for. The town would have avoided a law suit and its citizens would have enjoyed low rates for power and lighting. Incandescent lamps, particularly since the advent of gas- Street Lighting* filled lamps, have been replacing enclosed arc lamps for street lighting. According to the report, however, we still find enclosed arc lamps used in 73 places. The prevalent size of incan- descent lamps is 100-w., while lamps of from 25 watts to 1,000 candle power, both tungsten and gas-filled, cover the range found in use. series of articles Mr. James R. Cravattt gives very good data on street lighting, taking up the general principles, lamp ratings, relative costs, etc. He proves that, for street lighting, only two illuminants are to be con- sidered at present, namely, the gas-filled incandescent and the magnetite arc lamps. The operators of certain small plants have indicated their pre- judice against gas-filled lamps for street lighting, the reason given being that of short life. A study of the situation seems to indicate that, as this complaint only comes from the smaller plants, the cause of this short life is, in all probability, improper regulation, i.e., too high amperage or voltage, the operator not being provided with proper station instruments to govern operation. As against this prejudice, may be cited the case of a small town in British Columbia provided with proper instruments, where rough tests of gas-filled lamps demonstrated that a very long life could be obtained by running them slightly under voltage. The rates or charges allowed for street lighting show much variation in different places. Some of the higher rates per lamp per year, are : Luminous or magnetite arc, $95; enclosed arc, $90 to $125; 100-w. lamp, $48; 300-w. lamp, $75. Some of the lower rates per lamp per year, are: Luminous or magnetite arc, $46.51; enclosed arc, $40; 100-w. lamp, $3.30; 400-c.p. lamp, $8.40; 1,000-c.p. lamp, $50. In a number of places, the street lighting service is charged on the meter rate at so much per k.w.h. EXPLANATORY The systems are designated by the name of the city, town or village served, these being classified alphabetically under each province, while the provinces are arranged geographically from east to west. * See Table III, page 254. † Electrical World. 1917, vol. 70, pp. 414, 473, 514, 565, 611, 664 and 709. 12 COMMISSION OF CONSERVATION Where a number of distribution systems are supplied by the same power plant and transmission system, the latter are usually described under the most important system served; an exception to this rule was made for the plants and transmission lines of the Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission systems, which are described at the beginning of the section covering the province of Ontario. Population - The figures in brackets after the name of the place represent the population. Except where otherwise stated, the statistics of population have been extracted from the Census of 1911, except Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, which were obtained from the Census of 1916. Those with an asterisk (*) have been obtained from provincial statistics, while those with a dagger (1) have been obtained from the municipality. The various terms occurring in the descriptions are generally meant to have the following interpretations: Distribution Secondary Voltage-Voltage of energy, after being stepped down through line transformers, at which consumers are supplied. Distribution Primary Voltage-Voltage from power plant or substation, requiring only to be stepped down through local or line transformers to be supplied to consumers. Line Transformers--As distinct from station transformers, usually of smaller size and pole type. Mileage of Streets-Length of streets or roads on which consumers may be supplied; practically the total length of distribution pole lines, but not the mileage of single wire. Rates-In many places, particularly on larger systems, rates vary according to a sliding scale, in which case the minimum and maximum rates only are given, while there may also be intermediate ones; the mini- mum rate usually only applies to comparatively large consumers, while the maximum rate, as a rule, is a better guide for an average consumer. Transmission Lines-Lines operating usually at 10,000 volts andover, but, in a few cases as low as 6,600 volts, the energy from them being stepped down at substations to a lower voltage for distribution. A transmission line with two or more circuits on a single pole line is considered as a single line with two circuits, or more, as the case may be. a.c. - c.p. су. d.c. h.p. k.v.a.

The Shawinigan Water and Power Co. owns and operates the largest hydro-electric development and the most extensive system of long distance distance transmission lines in in the province of Quebec and ranks among the most important in the Dominion. Electric energy is derived from the Sha- winigan fail, on the St. Maurice river, the entire water rights at this site being owned by the Shawinigan Water and Power Co., which sells portions of the water to two local enterprises. One uses 30,000 h.p. to produce direct current electric energy for the production of aluminium and the other uses 15,000 h.p. for the manufacture of wood pulp and paper. The greater portion of the water, however, is used to operate the com- pany's two hydro-electric plants, which have a total capacity of 155,000 h.p.; this gives an aggregate water-power development of 200,000 h.p. One-half of this, or some 100,000 h.D., is used in local industries, either by the direct use of water-power or by electric energy generated at the company's plant. The Shawinigan company also obtains an additional 50,000 h.p., at 50,000 v. and 100,000 v., from the Laurentide Power Co's hydro-electric plant at Grand mère. See under Grand mère. The transmission system supplied from Shawinigan extends from Montreal to Quebec and, in the Eastern Townships, to the Thetford asbestos district, Sherbrooke and Windsor Mills, or over 750 mi. of electric transmission lines . Hydraulic Development: By the conservation storage works at La Loutre, undertaken by the Quebec government, and now approaching completion, the flow in the St. Maurice river will be greatly benefited. This work involved the construction of an 80-ft. concrete dam, affording a reservoir of 160,000 million cubic feet capacity, which it is estimated will double the previous minimum flow in the river. The hydraulic works at Shawinigan Falls include a moveable steel dam 850 ft. long at the head of the fall, with gates operating between con- crete piers placed 40 ft. apart, the dam being in two sections on each side of an island. From the head-water a canal, excavated in the rock, 100 ft. wide, 30 ft. deep and 1,000 ft. long, terminates in a concrete bulkhead 300 ft. long and 35 ft. high, built in two sections adjoining each other, whence the penstocks lead to the various power houses below, one section providing for No. 1 power house and the generating stations of the aluminium works , while the other provides for No. 2 power house. Each section of the bulkhead has an appropriate gate house controlling the flow of water at the head of the penstocks. The available head of 145 ft. is the same at both power houses.

Equipment: three 9,000-h.p. turbines, each direct connected to two generators of 3,750 k.w. and 2,000 k.w. capacity, respectively, also three 10,500-h.p. turbines, two of which are each direct connected to a 6,600-k.w. generator and the third to a 8,000-k.w. generator, all of the electric energy being generated at 2 ph., 30 cy., 2,200 v.; three independently-driven exciter units, each of 300 h.p. to 400 h.p. capacity. Station transformers: 20 single-ph. units, having an aggregate capacity of 40,000 k.w., stepping the voltage up from 2,200 v., 2 ph., to both 50,000 v. and 25,000 v., 3 ph., 30 cy.; the 25,000-v. energy is to supply some 20,000 k.w. to the local carbide works. This power house was first placed in operation in 1902. No. 2 Power House: From another section of the bulkhead five 14-ft. steel penstocks, 600 ft. long, lead to the No. 2 power house, a concrete and brick building 115 x 260 ft. Equipment: five 18,000-h.p. units, each consisting of a twin spiral case turbine, coupled directly to a 15,000-k.v.a., 3-ph , 6,600-v. generator; four generators are of 60 сy. and one of 30 cy., also three exciter units of 400 k.w. capacity, two driven directly from independent turbines, and one by a 3-ph. motor, the current from the motor being supplied from the main units. There are five station trans- formers, each a 3-ph. unit of 15,000 k.w., connected independently to one of the generators, and stepping the voltage up from 6,600 v. to 100,000 v. for the 60-cy. generators, and to 50,000 v. in case of the 30-cy. generator. The installation dates from 1912. No. 1 and No. 2 power houses are tied together electrically. The two plants carry a maximum load of about 90,000 k.w., with a load factor of 50 per cent. Transmission Lines: Independent lines are supplied from each of the two power houses, those from No. 1 being at 50,000 v. and those from No. 2 at 50,000 v. and 100,000 v. The entire transmission system may be better understood by referring to the maps opposite page 76. The 100,000-v. lines, shown by heavy continuous lines, extend to Montreal, 87 miles, in one direction, and to Grandmère, 7 miles, in the other. They are erected on a private right-of-way, 100 ft. wide; the steel towers are placed 520 ft. apart, each line consisting of two circuits of three aluminium cables, arranged in a vertical plane on each side of the tower, to which they are supported by suspension insulators. Each of the two circuits of the Montreal line has a normal capacity of 15,000 k.w., with 10 per cent loss, and each circuit of the Grandmère line has a capacity of 40,000 k.w., with 6 per cent loss. Lightning protection : electrolytic arresters at each end of the lines and a grounded wire over each circuit along the lines. The 50,000-v. lines, shown on the map by lighter continuous lines, have a total length of about 550 mi., extending in three directions, first to Montreal, second to Quebec, and third to Three Rivers and across the St. Lawrence river to Victoriaville and the asbestos mining dis- trict, with another branch from Victoriaville to Windsor Mills and Sherbrooke. The crossing of the St. Lawrence near Three Rivers is effected at 50,000 v. by means of an overhead span 5,000 ft. in length; the two supporting steel towers are 350 ft. high, allowing a minimum clearance of 160 ft. above water level for the three plough-steel conductors placed 50 ft. apart in the same plane. Three types of line construction are used for the various voltages. The first consists of a wood-pole line spaced 100 ft. to 150 ft., with three conductors arranged in an equilateral triangle and supported on pin-type insulators. This type of con- struction is estimated to cost $1,500 per mi., and is used for the line to Montreal and to the south shore of the St. Lawrence.

HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION SYSTEM OWING to the importance of the various developments and transmission systems of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission in the supply of electric energy in Ontario, a few general notes will give a better understanding of the situation in this province. The creation of the first Commission, in 1903, may be credited to public agitation to prevent monopoly in the distribution of Niagara power throughout southern Ontario. The Commission's first report, in 1906, further interested the public in the commercial value of Niagara falls and the feasibility of transmitting its power to the various municipalities in southwestern Ontario. Work was begun in 1909 on a comprehensive transmission system, and, by the end of 1910, a total of 280 miles of 110,000-volt lines had been completed; shortly afterwards, some 13 municipalities were being supplied. The operations of the Commission have since rapidly increased and cover the develop- ment as well as the purchase in bulk and transmission of hydro-electric energy to other portions of the province in addition to the extensive net-work now being supplied from Niagara. They include 12 hydro-electric plants, 1,992 miles of high tension lines, of which 435 miles are at 110,000 volts, and supply upwards of 200 municipalities with electric energy. The expenditure on capital account to October 31, 1917, by the Ontario Hydro- Electric Power Commission is as follows: Niagara system. $14,386,531.27 Port Arthur system... $ 109,438.17 867,971.36 Central Ontario system 9,505,249.49 Eugenia system. 7,271,736.11 Nipissing system 264,731.27 Ontario Power Co..... 7,996,617.42 190,239.80 Renfrew (storage dam).. ... 20,389.43 St. Lawrence system 207,234.30 General accounts, stores, etc... 2,356,329.98 Ottawa system (meter equip- ment.. 432.39 Total $37,176,900.99 A general description of each of the above systems is given hereunder, while details as to distribution, rates, etc., will be found under each municipality served, the latter being alphabetically arranged with the others of the province. Niagara System-The electric energy supplying this system is obtained from the power plant formerly owned by the Ontario Power Company but now controlled by the Hydro- Electric Power Commission, and also from the Canadian Niagara Power Co. Both of these plants , being situated at Niagara Falls, are described thereunder. The energy is transmitted to the Hydro-Electric Power Commission substation, less than a mile from the first mentioned plant, at 12,000 y. The substation is of brick and steel, 380 x 70 ft., and con- tains 25 station transformers, each a single-ph. unit, of which three are of 7,500 k.v.a. capacity and 22 of 3,500 k.v.a., stepping the voltage up from 12,000 v. to 110,000 v., and 10 single-ph. units of 3,500 k.v.a. capacity, stepping the voltage up from 12,000 v. to 45,700 v. All the energy is at 3 ph., 25 cy., the station transformers having a total capacity of 134,500 k.va. Transmission Lines: The transmission system will be better understood by referring to the map facing page 88. the general method adopted being to use 110,000 v. for the main arteries . This voltage is reduced at district transformer stations to 6,600 v., 13,200 v. or 26,400 v., lines at this pressure radiating to local substations, where it is further reduced Note-Except where otherwise stated, the statistics of population have been extracted from for explanation of abbreviations used in this report. • Population statistics with an asterisk have been obtained from the Provincial Statistics. † Population statistics with a dagger have been obtained from the municipality. the Census of 1911. See page 88 CONSERVATION COMMISSION OF to 2,300 v. or 4,000 v. for street distribution. The system comprises 435 mi. of 110,000-v. lines, of which 325 mi. are double circuit and 110 mi. single circuit, 3 conductors, both alum- inium and copper of various sizes being used, supported by suspension insulators on steel towers which are spaced 525 ft. apart; lightning protection, electrolytic arresters and two overhead ground wires. The 6,600-v., 13,200-v. and 26,400-v. lines cover a total of 765 mi., of which 217 mi. are double circuit and 548 mi. single circuit; there are also 17 mi. of 46,000- v. lines, all being 3 conductors, both aluminum and copper of various sizes being used, supported by pin-type insulators on both wooden poles and steel towers; lightning protection, electrolytic arresters and ground wires. The cost, or value, per mile of the various types of transmission lines is as follows: 13,200-v. to 26,400-v. lines with wooden poles, $2,200 per mile for single circuit and $3,000 per mile for double circuit; 110,000-v. lines, $14,000 per mile for double circuit. The maximum load taken by this system is 200,983 h.p., while the average daily load factor is 92 per cent. The cost to the Commission for energy at 12,000-v. pressure at Niagara Falls is $9 per h.p. per year, while the prices charged the various municipalities served are adjusted according to the distance the power has to be transmitted, the amount taken and other similar conditions. The station transformer capacity for stepping the voltage down from 110 000 v. to 13,200 v. or 26,400 v. at the various district stations, is as follows: Dundas, 15,000 k.v.a.; Toronto, 67,500 k.v.a.; London, 8,750 k.v.a.; Guelph, 5,000 k.v.a.; Preston, 4,500 k.v.a.; Kitchener, 6,750 k.v.a.; Stratford, 3,750 k.v.a.; St. Marys, 3,000 k.v.a.; Woodstock, 3,000 k.v.a.; St. Thomas, 4,300 k.v.a.; Cooksville, 5,000 k.v.a.; Brant (near Brantford), 5,000 k.v.a.; Kent (near Chatham), 5,000 k.v.a.; Essex, 10,000 k.v.a.

Hydro-Electric Plant: The development, which is remarkable as affording one of the highest heads utilized in Canada, namely 540 ft., includes a concrete dam above the fall, 2,000 ft. long by 51 ft. high, providing a pondage of 800,000,000 cu. ft., from which the water is led through a canal 5,000 ft. long to a smaller pond formed by a second dam, of earth-filled type, 30 ft, high by 800 ft . long, in which is a reinforced concrete gate house, providing for two pipes, one of which is at present instailed. The pipe is wood-stave construction, 46 in. diameter and 3,350 ft. long; it is controlled by a 66-in. electrically-operated butterfly valve, and terminates in a surge tank on the brow of the escarpment, whence a 52-in. steel penstock, 1,559 ft, long, descends to the power house, ending in a 50-in. butterfly valve installed near the turbine. The brick power house, 36 x 56 ft., contains two 2,250-h.p. turbines, each direct connected to a 1,411-k.v.a., 3-ph., 60-cy., 4,000-v. generator, an exciter being also direct connected to each main unit; also three 900-k.v.a. station transformers, stepping the voltage up from 4,000 v. to 22,000 v., 3 ph., 60 cy., and other auxiliary and switchboard apparatus. Maximum load, 4,200 h.p., with a load factor of 85 per cent. The upper portion of the hydraulic works provides for a capacity double that at present operating; a 4,000-h.p. unit, with its appurtenances, is being added, which will bring the plant to over 8,000 h.p. capacity. Space is provided for a third 4,000-h.p. unit, making the ultimate capacity 12,000 h.p. Additional storage capacity of 300,000,000 cu. ft. is also possible by the construction of a dam at Fev- ersham. Value of plant, $600,000; it began operation in 1915, and gives continuous service; cost of generation, $16 per h.p. per year. Transmission Lines: The lines radiate from the Eugenia plant in three main directions, terminating, respectively, at Owen Sound, 33 miles distant , Orangeville, 47 miles, and Chesley, 46 miles, the latter line being tapped at Durham by a line running south to Mount Forest.

(11,715*). Several large hydro-electric plants derive energy from the falls, the three principal ones being those of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission (Ontario Power Co.), the Toronto Power Co. and the Canadian Niagara Power Co. The local distribution is under municipal control, being supplied from the Niagara system of the Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission. Hydro-Electric Power Commission Plant (Ontario Power Company Hydraulic Plant: Extensive headworks are situated about one mile above the falls, including the intake control works, 600 ft. long, and a submerged concrete dam, 725 ft. long, the latter deflecting the water from the outer forebay through a screen-house, 320 ft. long, to the inner forebay, thence through the gate-house. Both at the intake and screen house concrete curtains, extending 5 ft. to 9 ft. into the water, deflect floating ice or debris. Stoney gates, each weighing 40 tons, control the entrances to the three concrete, wood-stave and steel conduits; one conduit is 18 ft. diam., another has the same area with oblate cross section, and the third, wood-stave, 13 ft. diam. Each is 6,300 ft. long, and water is carried under pressure to 9-ft. penstocks, surge tanks being connected into the system at the downstream ends of the conduits. The 9-ft. penstocks convey the water 250 ft. to the concrete generating station , which is 800 x 80 ft. and is situated at the base of the cliff, below the Horseshoe fall . Installation includes 16 horizontal shaft units, operating under a head of about 180 ft.; seven of the turbines are of 12,500 h.p., three of which are each direct connected to a 7,500-k.w. generator; four others of the same capacity are connected to 9,000 k.w. generators ; seven other units consist of 13,400-h.p. turbines with 10,000-k.w. generators, while the remaining two units consist of 15,000-h.p. turbines with 11,000 k.w. generators. Energy in all cases generated at 3 ph., 25 cy., 12,000 v. There are also two 1,600-h.p. units supplying 3-phase current to individual exciter units. While the installed capacity is higher, the present rated hydraulic capacity of the plant is 160,000 h.p., with an average daily maximum demand of about the same amount and an average yearly load factor of over 91 per cent. The total out-going load, including 20,000 k.w. now obtained from the Toronto Power Co., is approximately 180,000 horse-power. The station transformers are installed in a separate building, and comprise 18 of 3,000 k.v.a. capacity each, 12 stepping the voltage from 12,000 v. to 60,000 v., and 6 stepping the voltage from 12,000 v. to 30,000 v. The same building, which is the high tension distributing station for the entire output , also contains elaborate switching, bus-bar and other control arrangements, while the lightning protection consists of electrolytic arresters, choke coils and horn-gap arresters . The first units of the plant were put in operation in 1905. Transmission Lines: The lines directly from the power plant are not very extensive, but they supply other very extensive systems . These include the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, to which 100,000 h.p. is supplied, and the Niagara, Lockport and Ontario Power Co., with an extensive network of transmission lines in the United States, to which, on the average, 60,000 h.p. is supplied. The 60,000-v. transmission lines supplying the Niagara, Lockport and Ontario Power Co. consist of two lines of steel towers, each tower supporting a single 3-ph. circuit, on pin-type insulators; 12,000-v. and 30,000-v. lines, used for local distribution, are carried on wooden poles. Power is supplied to the Niagara station of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission through underground cables at 12,000 v.

It includes an excavated intake canal, 406 ft. wide and 200 ft. long, protected at the entrance by a system of ice shields, and leading to the stone power house, which is 72 ft. x 580 ft. The ice shields consist of 12 stone piers, 31 ft. high, with steel curtains between them to divert the ice; they cover the total length of 406 ft. across the entrance. The turbines are installed in a deep pit, and operate under a head of 141 ft.; the water, which is admitted from the forebay through short penstocks, is discharged from the wheels through a long, underground, brick-lined tunnel of oblate section, 18 x 25 ft., with its outlet at the foot of the falls just above the Ontario Power Co. generating station. Long vertical shafts connect the turbines with the generators, which are installed in the power house on the ground level 122 ft. above the turbines. There are 10 main units, five of 10,000 h.p. each and five of 12,500 h.p. each, all generators being of 3-ph., 25-cy., 11,000-v. type. Maximum demand, 75,000 k.w. Nearly all the energy is sold in bulk at 11,000 v, or 22,000 v., the total output being divided as follows: Hydro-Electric Power Commission, 50,000 h.p.; Niagara Falls Power Co., 30,000 h.p. to 40,000 h.p.; the Buffalo General Electric Co. is supplied through the Niagara Falls Power Co., while the other consumers include the Norton Co., the Canadian Aloxite Co. and the Graphite Co., using the energy for electro- chemical purposes. Toronto Power Co.-Hydraulic Plarit: The development includes a concrete wing dam at the head of the falls, 785 ft. long and 27 ft. high. From this point the water is led to a wheel-pit 416 ft. long, 22 ft. wide, and 150 ft. deep, through 10-ft. steel penstocks, affording 140-ft. head. The power house, 500 x 70 ft., of imposing design, is of Indiana limestone and contains 11 units, each water wheel, which has a capacity of 15,000 h.p., being installed at the bottom of the pit, is direct connected through a long vertical shaft to a 10,000-k.w., 3-ph., 25-cy., 12,500-v. generator. The tail water is discharged through twin tunnels, 28 ft. diam., converging below the power house into a single tunnel 1,935 ft. long, with an outlet at the foot of the Horseshoe fall. The electrical equipment also includes very elaborate switchboard control devices, separate exciters mounted on each generator shaft, and two spare water-wheel-driven exciting units of 500 k.w. capacity each. The station trans- formers are contained in a separate building, there being 3 banks of 8,000 k.v.4. and 2 banks of 18,000 k.v.a. capacity each, stepping the voltage up to 60,000 v. for long distance transmission. The load on the plant is 93,250 k.w., with a load factor of 100 per cent, the plant being operated continuously. Plant first installed 1906; present value estimated at $18,000,000. Transmission Lines: Energy is transmitted to Toronto, over two double- circuit steel tower transmission lines, 80 mi., at 60,000 V., 3 ph., 25 cy., the standard spacing between towers being 400 ft. for one line and 650 ft. for the other. Each circuit is designed to transmit 20,000 k.v.a. with a loss not exceeding 20 per cent. The line consists of 198,000 c.m. hard drawn copper conductors, supported on pin-type insulators. It is protected against lightning by electrolytic arresters and against interruptions due to insulator failures by selective relays and Nicholson arc extinguisher. The transmission line system is valued at $6,600,000. The energy is sold to various consumers in Niagara Falls, Welland and Thorold, while the energy transmitted to Toronto is sold principally to the Toronto Electric Light Co. and the Toronto Railway Co. International Railway Co. System-Hydro-electric Plant: This plant also derives energy from the falls, the development including an 8-ft. penstock, leading to a stone power house 100 x 61 ft., where a head of only 64 ft. is available.

NOTE.-A large part of the settled portion of the province of Saskatchewan has practically no water-powers, and, thus far, the supply of electric power has been largely restricted to the princi- pal centres of population although some of the smaller municipalities generate electricity by means of internal combustion plants. Such small plants, however, are usually expensive to operate and, probably, in certain areas, cheaper energy could be obtained by transmission from centrally situated plants of high efficiency, each plant supplying a group within economic transmission distance. It is not the intention, however, to suggest that such central stations would be profitable for all districts. In addition, to present a general scheme for the whole province would be to suggest its proven feasibility as an economic and a desirable project for the people of the territory involved, whereas the circumstances governing in each particular area must be considered upon their respective merits. To illustrate the possibilities referred to and to indicate the general lay-out of such central-station-and-distribution system, a plan has been drawn which includes the region in the vicinity of the Souris coal-field. This plan, however, is not put forward as a definite project but merely to illustrate in a very general way, a possible grouping of municipalities in that particular district, the Souris district having been selected because it is the principal coal-mining centre in Saskatchewan. Anyone interested in considerations of this character can readily weigh the advantages and disadvantages of corresponding systems for this or other districts, provided he possesses intimate personal knowledge concerning their governing physical and economic factors.
