For some unexplained reason the raised at fi a. in. to 116 volts but. at a.

m. was back to 114. At 8 a. m. the voltage was down to 112 rfnd dropped quickly within the hour lo 100, offe volt less than the minimum of 110, that point on through the working day the power was never again within the Ijttlits of 110-120 volts.

By 0 a. m. the recording meter had dropped to 109 and at 10 a. m. was reading he- Men 107 and 108.

Those readings were sustained at 1 i a. at noon, and at 1 p. m. But by 2 p. m.

the power dropped to 104 foils and ranged from 104 to 106, suffering rtiotmentary drops to as low as 103 volts at 2:30 and 8:30, but in the main holding 104 106. 4 p. m. the voltage raised to a range of about 106 to 108 and was holding at about JOS by p. m.

At 5:80, after the News plant was closed down largely for power off the 110-120 volt line, voltage rose sharply to 112 volts, back again within the minimum limit. It then rose to 113 at 6 p. to 114 from to 7 and eventually reached 118 volts, within 2 volts of the 120-volt maximum, at 10 p. m. Recordings of 116 were common throughout the night.

It may be seen at a glance from the above that only for a short time, during the early morning, was the voltage within the 110 minimum and then only until shortly after 8 a. while at no time dlififff (fay did the eunfenl even remotely the llfi volfs whleh should be delivered lo the meter. fits city acknowledges the defldenefes pointed up by these tests and has proceeded" to experiment with cofredtfoH. tl Will first install capacitors and perhaps change transformers, thai those using off this circuit are not adequately served. Of course our criticism has not been directed with an aim of correcting our own deficiencies alone.

We have sought to speak for all those who have been getting less limn an average of 115 volts and particularly current not falling within the bare limits of 110-120. It will require much effort and time to make all the needed corrections and whatever is the best way to proceed is what the policy should be. It has been our view hat bringing in special engineering skill might prove to be the quickest and most ef- eclive approach. Hut that's the city's own problem. The olution is what we seek and such solution not only will improve the service but mean the smallest possible line loss to the city itself.

Incidentally, an additional line transmission problem is pointed up by the recent P. G. Gray fire, which endangered the single highline from the power plant to most of the city, jeoppardizing water supply as well as light and power. This merely points up further need for some deep and serious thinking about getting power from the plant to every vital point and in full measure and without fail. Our purpose will have been fully served if we succeed in bringing about or hastening correction of a problem which we believe has become much more serious than most persons realize.
