This action was taken on account of the peak load being too high at certain periods during the day. Galt and Stratford showed a deficit as a result of the numerous elactric ranges installed and the above action was taken by the local members to avoid any possible deâ€" ficit.

Gas Department There is nothing of special imâ€" portance to report in this departâ€" ment. Electric Department A tank has been purchased from the Waterloo Mfg. Co., Ltd., and an oil filter from Wm. Perrin, Ltd., Toronto, for.the purpose of filtering the oil used in the station trans formers. Owing to the large installation of‘ electric ranges, which is increasing the peak load around the noon hour, it is possible that the rates for cutâ€" rent used for ranges will be materâ€" jally increased, as the rate at ‘present collected for ranges does not pay for the increase in the monthiy power bill. In addition it is l‘able to create a shortage of power. Current for ranges will be curtailed and the installation of the eame discontinued. ~» We just mention this to advise those who contemplate changing from gas to electric so they can govern themselves accordingly beâ€" fore purchasing.
