INTRODUCTORY REMARKS GROWTH OF INDLSTRIES AND CONSUMPTION OF POWER. In commencing an examination of the amount of capital, labour and power now dependent upon Winnipeg river, some idea of the importance o power supply to Greater Winnipeg may be gained bv a brief examination of the growth of mdustries and consumption of power that has taken place as the pncc of power has been gradually decreased since the hydro-electric power became available. The progress and present position of Greater Winnipeg as a manu- factunng district and user of power is shown in Table 1. compiled from the Dominion Census of Manufactures 1911 and from records furnished oy the City and the Winnipeg Electric Railway Companv Itu-tll be seen from the sard Table 1 that Winnipeg, though a mid-west City, far removed from other large centres of population and from the sources of many raw materials, ranked in 1910 as the Jourth manufacturm, city tn Canada in a list of 44 cities so classed in the Census No later statistics of manufacture in Canadian Cities are available but m view of the considerable increase in manufactures in Winnipeg 'since 1910 as shown by the records of the Industrial Bureau and bv the Census of Manufactures made for the purpose of this report, it is I'.robable thu the present relative position of Winnipeg is even better. INCREASE OF MANVFACTIRES. It Will be seen from Table 1 and from Plate 2 following thereon that the increase of manufactures from 1900 to 1913 has been as follows: Capital invested . 1480'" \'alue of product 1770'"' Persons employed 637'' Increase of population 446'' Reduction in price of power 76'; (12l to 3 cents) GROWTH IN THE tSE OF POWER. The growth in the use of power from 1907, when hv.lro-electric power was first made available by the Winnipeg Street Ruilwav' Companv and the pnce for power was reduced from 12l to 6 cents per kilowatt ho-r' to 1914 is conspicuous. It will be seen from Table 1 an c c t:a. s: ;: 2 Bli — »^ oc ?^ i ?.i Xt ;»^X t* C "^ C « '^ t "•- «' » "* '' *i — «/■: u rt fc. • 1. „ .. - «^ i S ,-t^^fS^ X — -^ C S Sir ■2'S X ; » : — i? •S3 J: e III ill 5uX c2S = 1 1 m «C C C K :^ Se r '* "^ »' * "■• "^^ » -e t- * 9 S * "■ C X « f -; -?, r- r^ C >>»■'■£; ff' h- -i -r r-* c C ' III *4 rt .= c a) C If •« rz O t ^ ^ 5 w 3 — . - i £ « •/: ■::^ iH - ■- !, * -if c ^ ^ O - * •Eii ■- n ■/: 2 ?.2 i i ^ ■ i^-J 3 ^ r .^ 5 > li sii EE cc C C C EEE 3 3 3 rri^-^-m^m » ■ i '^," r*in'- < MAT!

L. Parrish, Chairman: "Following the apfjointment at the last annual meeting of the Directors, "your committee met, and after consultation and discussion, adopted certain "[)olicies that would in t^e opinion of your committee Ix; sound and act |"as general principles to follow. While the Bureau organization stands for c'cverything that will contribute to the unbuilding of a bigger and better |"City, the fact remains i)rimarily we are greatly interested in bringing |"new industries to the City. In dealing with .such, great care must be |"exercised bv vour committee to solicit .such industries as are fitted to i"makc a succjss of manufacturing in Winnipeg. Your committee's invest i- "gations so far lead us to believe that any policy of giving artificial advan- 'tages to new concerns must be discouraged. That bonuses, free sites, |"rcmission of tpxes, investment in capital stock and new industrial securities, r'indorsement of promoti m schemes or other methods of establi.shiug I'Tactories must be carefully handled if not comi)letely ignored. . . . I "The world-wide financial stringency naturally aflfccts the work of this '"Committee, and during the past year many important enquiries have I "been suddenly stopped due- to these conditions brought about by the war. I "Winnipeg's water power, our over-increasing importance as a labor |"market, our central position and our unexcelled railroad facilities, are "becoming well known throughout the manufacturing world, and your "Committee believe that the industrial development of this City will receive "a great impetus at the close of the war." The geographically central position of Winnipeg and its great railroad ffacihties are indicated on Plate 3. t^lJ^i^ ,1.'' i^JB. ^mi.

ETC., EMPLOYED I\ NLWUFACTURES .'fk : i» ri... PART II. MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES. INDUSTRIES DEPENDENT ON WINNIPEG RIVER POWER. 1. In accordance with the instruction'; rccc-ved, special attention has I been pven to the preparation of particuhirs ot the manuf.-.cturing industries I that are dependent upon Winnipeg River power, with special reference to I the amount of power used, capital invested, labour emploved, etc. I It is, however, advisable to point out that the term "manufacturing I industries" necessitates the exclusion of a very large amount of power in I use but which cannot be included under that term. For instance every I large oITice block is dei)endent on Winnipeg River power not only for electric flight but also for operating its elevators and pumps, and therefore for its I business, but tlie capital invested cannot well be included in "m.anufacturing I industries." The same remark applies to warehouses, institutions, hotels, i restaurants, etc. I I 2. A great deal of time and care has been given to the compilation of I the ])articulars regarding industries and jjower users. Complete lists of power I users were obtained from the City Light ;ind I\>wer Depariment and the I Winnipeg Electric Railway Company, covering about 2, .?()() users of power I and the amount installed by each. Another list was obtained from the I Provincial Inspector of Factories, showing separately the power installed J in each factory in electric motors, steam and producer gas, together with f the labour employed, and a list was obtained from the City Industrial I Bureau of all industries established in the City according to its records. All these lists were compared and i-hecked with one another and doubt- ful points referred back for confirmation or correction. While there are doubtless still small inaccuracies, it is believed that the information re industries as finally lisU'd is substantially accurate. .V The manner in whicli the detailed lists were comiiilecl is fully described under the head of "H.isis of Particulars re MaiuU'actures" on page 14. 4. A general simimary of the said detailed lists of industries and of other power users is given in Part 4 of this reiiort. The detailed lists them- selves are not attached for the reason that the particulars as to capital .■;iid value of product or annual tuni.iver were given in i-ontidi'iice. .V It should be pointed out that the very i)resentation of a list of titannliKtiintt;' industries dependent on Winnipeg River Dower, talcen by il.^clf. tends to belittle those interests.

TO MANUFACTURING As a check on the fiKurer, obtained and shown for manufacturing in- dustries in Greater Winnipeg, similar particulars were taken from the United States and Canadian Census for cities of as nearly as possible similar size to Winnipeg. These are listed and compared with Winnipeg on Table 7. In all other parts of this report only the industries dependent on hydro- electric power have been consider.'u. In the United States and Canadian Census of Manufactures, industries are of course included irrespective of the source of power. For the purpose of Table 7, therefore, an estimate of Winnipeg industries oix;rated by other than hydro-electric power has l>een added to the Winnipeg figures, this estimate being based on particulars of horse-power used and labour employed furnished by the Provincial Factory Inspector. It will l)e noted that United States returns include only industries within the city limits. The particulars for Greater Winnipeg include industries outside the limits of the City of Winnipeg, but the population given also includes the whole district so that the comparison is fair in this respect. It is probable that the United States and Canadian Census returns are more exhaustive than those for Greater Winnipeg, as the latter do not include industries using no power and many very small industries which have been classed under "Miscellaneous." In considering this comparison it should be borne in mind that all the cities listed have the advantage of Winnipeg in that they are: 1. Surrounded by more densely populated districts. 2. Nearer to sources of a larj.'er range of raw materials. 3. With the exception of Minneapolis, all located in the Eastern manufacturing district.

Bearing in mind how recently Winnipeg has entered the field as a lanufacturing city, and that ii is only since 1911 that cheap power has Seen available, the progress made may be fairly said to be remarkable. (See Plates 1 and 2.) It wilt also he seen from the said Table S that the position of Winnipeg as a manufacturing centre now compares favourably with manufacturinn cities if similar size in the I'nited States and with the principal manufacturing cities in Canada. In Table 9 the deductions from Table 8 are shown in the form of |"Per Capita," etc.. '.vhich enables rcndy comparison from this point of view. The footnote to the said table, as to the basis of comparison, should be arefully read. The followini; remark's on Table 9 should also be considered: The comparatively low number of manufacturing employees in Winnipeg (s probably due to there being at present no t?xtile atid similar industries that emplo\ a large number of women and children. The (■\te|)lionally high horse-power used in Winnipeg is probably largely klue to the following cause. The very low price of hydro-electric jxiwer has Bed to its almost entirely su])planting individual fuel power |)lants in Winnipeg. pn other cities where the cost of ])ublic electric power supply is high a large number of individual fuel power plants are mainiained. In the case of Individual fuel jjower i)lants the power is usually installed in one or two ^arge units and the connected horse-power may be little if any greater than the peak load. In the case of electric equipment, however, the power is jsually subdivided into a large number of separate motors, each with a largin of capacity; the aggregate rated or connected horse-power of the lolors is therefore usually considerably in excess of the peak load oi the individual works as a whole.

The horse-power given in the tables is that installed (not the peak load) in order to put it on the same basis as the United States and Canadian Census. It should be added that while the installed horse-power is usually greater with electric drive on account of the subdivision of the power a'< above shown, the resulting ixjak load is less on account of the greater efficiency secured. •9R:'zy^-fFSi^^if^^msi*am.

HISTORY, FINANCIAL INVESTMENT AND PARTICULARS OF PLANT. The City supplies electric light and power both inside and outside the City boundaries. A detailed statement by the City is attached hereto as Appendix I. The following is a condensed summary thereof: CHRONOLOC.UAL HISTORY. In 1905 the price of electric light in Winnipeg was 20 cents per kilo- watt-hour and of power 12§ cents. The City was strongly desirous of obtaining lower rates and of attracting industries and undertook an investigation of power possibilities on the Winnipeg river in that and the following year. 1906. The engineers submitted a report recommending the Point du Bois site and estimating the cost of the initial development at 83,250,000. A by-law for this amount was authorized by the Provincial Legislature and passed by the citizens. 1911. Supply was commenced from such portion of the plant as was then completed. 1912. Base rates were fixed at 3$ cents for light and power, subject to discouiits. 1913. The original installation was considered to be complete, capacity 26,000 horse-i>ower. 1911). Three additional main units were installed, totalling 21,660 horse-power, and bringing up the total capacity to 47,660 horse-power. (One unit not yet ready for service.)

THE WINNIPEG ELECTRIC RAILWAY COMPANY. HISTORY, FINANCIAL INVESTMENT AND PARTICULARS OF PLANT. This Company supplies electric light and power over a large area in 1 and around Winnipeg in addition te operating the street and interurban railways. A detailed statement by the Compay is attached hereto as Appendix II. The following is a condensed summary thereof: rHRONOLOC.ICAL HISTORY. ISSO. The Manitoba Electric and Gas Light Company was incorjjor- ated and commenced operations. }SS:i. The Winnipeg Street Railway Company was incorporated, absorbed the above Company and operated the first horse-drawn street cars in Winnipeg. }fi.9l. The Winnipeg Street Railway Company operated the first electric street cars in Winnipeg from a small steam i)lant. IS92. The Winnipeg Electric Street Railway Company was incor- porated, was granted an exclusive franchise to operate electric street cars for 35 years (subject to the rights of the Winnipeg Street Railway Com- pany), and started in opposition to the latter Company.

The Company was o[)ertaing 16 miles of street railway and supplying about 1,700 horse-power for electric light. This load was rapidly growing and has now increased to about 170 miles of street railway and 50,000 horse-power connected in electric light and motors. 1902. It was now evident to the Company that the growing load and increasing number of manufacturing industries necessitated more and cheaper ■^ power. The Winnipeg General Power Company was therefore formed to investi- gate the possibility of obtaining jiower from the Winnipeg river. It came to the conclusion that that source would give a large saving in the cost of power. 1903. Construction commenced on a 30.000 horse-power hydro-electric plant on the Pinawa Channel. 1904. The Winnipeg General Power Company amalgamated with the Winnipeg Electric Street Railway Company under the name of the Winnipeg Electric Railway Company. This is the present company. 19f)5. Up to this time all electric light and powtr was supplied from a 5,000 horse-power steam plant on Assiniboine avenue. 1906. The supply of hydro-electric power was commenced in June. The base rate for electricity, which had hitherto been 20 cents per kilowatt hour for light and 12^ cents for i)ower, was now reduced to 10 cents and 6 cents respectively. 1907. The hydro-electric plant was completed at a cost of approxi- mately $3,055,000. The power therefrom is now distributed in the cities cf Winnipeg and St. Boniface, the towns of Transcona. Stony Mountain and Stonewall, the rural municipalities of Fort Garry, Assiniboia, East Kildonan, West Kildonan, St. Andrews, St. V'ital, St. Pauls and Rock- wood, and is supplied in bulk to the municipality of West Selkirk, thus serving a population of over 250,000. Negotiations are pending with other municipalities. 1911. Base rates were further reduced in September to 7^ cents for light and 3 cents |)er kilowatt hour for power, and in December to 3f cents for light and 3 cents per kilowatt hour for pov.-er. A new auxiliary steam turbir | !in: c>f 12,000 horse-power, capable uf 50 ])er cent, overload, was corstrud-d to snpi)lemenl the water power. nUS. An electric storage battery \v;is installed in the City with a capacity of 5,000 ampere hours; this is equivalent to about 3.800 horse- l)ower for one hour, more or less, according to rate of discharge. On account of the rapidly increasing deinanil for iiower the Winnipeg River Pnwi-r Comi)any was incorporated with power to acquire and operate water jjowers. At this time the Company was supplying large blocks of power to the Ogilvie Flour Mills, the Western Canada Flour Mills, the Canada Cement (Nnnpany. the Canadian Pacific Railway, the Canadian Northern Railway, etc. 32 Department oj the Interior. 1914. Under the charter of the WinnipeK River Power Company the Winnipeg Electric Railway Company actively i)rocecded with the pre- liminary steps to develop a hydro-electric power at Grand du Bonnet falls, acquiring sites, licenses and leases and expending considerable sums in enpneerin>j work and the construction of a 14-mile railroad from Lac du Bonnet to the site. This development will ^ive an ultimate capacity of nearly 100.(H)() continuous 24-hour power at a cost of S6,(M)(),()()() to S7,0()(),()00 (See Appendix II.) i \Vinni|HK Electric Railway Company, Interior of l'f)WiT Station.

TOTAL INTERESTS DEPENDENT ON WINNIPEG RIVER POWER. A previous chapter dealt with the industries dependent on Winnipeg river jxjwer. In conclusion it was shown that: 1. Out of a population of about 276.000 only about 2, .^00 are users (if power, and of that 2..?00 only about 500 represent "Manufacturing Industries." 2. That practically all the 276,000 inhabitants of (Irealer Winnii)eK' and Selkirk are dependent on hydro-electric power for li^'ht, power, traction and water supply, and that, except as to traction, this also applies to Kenora and Keewatin. The total urban population served is apijroximately 288,000. An examination of the interests involved in Winnipeg river power must therefore be carried further than a consideration ,\f manufacturing industries or power users only. The present connected load in CIreater Winnipeg expressed in horse-power is Kiven in Table 15. From which it will be seen that "power"' alone, as distin- ■:uislied from that for lik'ht, heat, and traction purjioses, is little more than one-third of the total hydro-electric energy used, and also that the number of users is but a small proportion of the whole. There are of course alst) a large number of employees deijendent on the "i)ower" in addition to the 2..?00 "users," but the .s.-ime is also true of clerks, assistants, etc , dependent on the linhtinn of the premises in which they work. It must also be Ix.rne in mind that "linhtin^;" represents not only domestic use, but the lighlinj: of the whole of the streets and l>usiness ])remises of the Citv Table l.'i.

I|^ Table 31 shows the connected load, peak load and total electrical outpu; >" ''i number of large cities compared with Winnipeg. From this table it will be seen that the supply of electric power is ot at least as great importance to Winnipeg as to other cities of equal and greater size and standing. In fact, it will be seen that out of 19 leading cities in the United States and Canada that are listed, only one shows a greater peak load per capita and none shows a greater output of >lectric energy per capita than Winnipeg. The list of cities was not sclecte-' for this report, but all the citic^ for which full particulars were obtained were listed. The particulars are offered as approximate, for the reason that whilr care has been taken to check them by correspondence and otherwise theri may be unknown local conditions that could only be ascertained by visiting each city. This high consumption in Winnipeg may be accounted for by: 1. The extremely low price of electric power in Winnipeg. 2. The high cost of coal and gas ($9.55 for Scranton nut to $5.25 for slack and $1.50 per 1,000 cubic feef for gas), whereas most, if not all, oi the other cities listed have much c aper coal available. (See Table 19. i Where electricity costs as high as it does in many other cities (set Table 19), it means that there will be extensive use of gas and other illum- mants and that many private fuel-operated plants will be maintained f.)r the production of power, so that the central station load is smaller than ii otherwise would be. Cheap fuel and gas are ..ot avr.ilable in Winnipeg, and there is m, present i)rosi)ect that they will be, on account of the distance from sources of fuel. It therefore appears essential that abundant and low-priced hydro- electric power must continue to be available in the future, if the past pro- gress and -ijresent jjositi^n of Winnipeg as a manufacturing centre is to hv maintained. Other cities with the advantages of harbour faciHties, i.r water tians- portation, adjacent to a great variety of raw materials, with dense populations i nd markets in their immediate neighborhood, cheap labour, etc., ma\ progress without cheap power, but cheap power is undoubtedly of primar\ importance to the progress and prosperity of the city of Winnipeg.

FUTURE DEMAND FOR WINNIPEG RIVER POWER. It is within the scope of this report to consider what the demand for hydro-electnc power may rise to in Greater WinnipcR within a reasonable time. The total power capacity of the Winnipeg river is given in a report on the "Wmmpeg River Power and Storage Investigations," Water Resources Paper No. 3 of the Dominion Water Power Branch, pages 258 and 259, as: Regulated flow, 20,000 c.f.s .418,000 HP Unregulated flow, 12,000 c.f.s .249,000 H.P. This however represents 24-hour continuous power; that is the regu- lated flow would give 418,000 horse-power for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, or m other words supply that amount of power on a 100 per cent load factor. The load factor for the city as a whole is now 44 5 per cent' and may be assumed not to greatly exceed 50 per cent., so that with the water storage and pondage that can be made available the capacity of the river with full ■ ;gulation is equal to a peak loud of double the above amount or about 836,000 horse-power. Peak Load-In Table 29, item 12. it will be seen that the total peak load of Greater Winnipeg on the City and the Street Railway Company's power stations was 6^,300 horse-power in 1914. From Table 1 it will be seen that from 1907 to 1914, the period over which records are available, the peak load increased 255 per cent The average annual increase over the same period was 20.7 per cent. (Note— Table 29 gives the peak load at the power stations Table 1 the peak load in the city, the latter being less than the first by the loss in transmission.) This rate of increase is probably greater than will be maintained and for the purpose of this estimate it will be assumed that the annual increase will be only 8 per cent. Then at 8 per cent, increase per annum the load due to Greater Winni- peg alone will compare with the total peak load capacity of the river at the periods shown. (See Table 32.) it Table d2.~Comparison of Future Power Demand with Winnipeg River Powi Supply. Full ri'ioilated flow VnrcKulalcd flnw .NumJter nf Years (nmi 1914.

It will therefore be seen that allowing only 8 per cent, increase per annum, the demand for power in Greater Winnipeg alone within tht next 33 year's mil equal the total capacity of the river with full regulated flow. CONCLUSION AND SUMMARY. The foregoing report deals only with one phase of the Lake of the Woods Reference, i.e.. that of the amount of hydro-electric power used and the capital, labour, etc., dependent on or affected thereby. It will be concluded by a resume of the principal points that have been brought out in the foregoinp pages: 1. The population of the area of hydro-electric supply is approxi- mately—Greater Winnipeg 276,177. Selkirk 4,000, Kenora and Keewatin 6,684. Total, 286,681. 2. The total capital invested in the area is approximately $852 332 000 (Page 49.) 3. The manufacturing industries in Greater Winnipeg alone are as follows : Number of factories 479 Capital invested $73,959,000 Salaries and wages 17,504,000 Value of product per annum (Table 1) 94!404!oOO Winnipeg ranked in 1910 as the fourth manufacturing city in Canada. Winnipeg now compares favorably as a manufacturing city with other cities of similar size in both the United States and Canada. (Table 7.) 4. The interests owning or using Winnipeg river power but excluding mstttutwns and domestic supply may be summarized as follows: Capital invested $177,470,000 Persons employed 31 71? Annual pay-roll 24,752!oOO Value of product 153,244,000 Electric apparatus installed (Horse-power) (Table 28) 156.700 5. The Total Connected Load dependent on Winnipeg rivor power is— In Greater Winnipeg, 186,263 horse-power (page 63); in Kenora and Kee- watin approximately 9.000. Total, 195,263 horsc-powcr. 6. Increase in Demand for Power— FTom 1907, when hvdro-clcctric power was first available, to 1914, the consumption increased 513 per cent, while the population increased 102 per cent. (Table 1 and Plate 1.) 7. Increase in Manufactures—From 1900 to 1915 the capital invested .r.civiised 1,480 per cent, .ind the value of product 1.770 per cent., the copulation increasing 446 per cent. (Table 1 and Plate 2.) 68 Department of the Interior. 8. Saving to the Community—The present rates for light and power mean an annual saving to the community of over $3,000,000, which more over will increase yearly. (Page 52.) 9. Hydro-Electric Power is Essential to Winnipeg on account of th. high cost of fuel. (Page 55.) 10. Winnipeg ranks as one of the greatest consumers of power p.-r capita amongst the pnncipal American and Canadian cities (Table 31 1 11. Future Demand for Hydro- Electric Power-The entire power available from Winnipeg river with full regulation wll probably be require.! in Greater Winnipeg alone within the next thirty years.

CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT. In 1905 the base rate for electric light in Winnipeg was 20 cents per kilowatt hour and of electric power 12.5 cents per kilowatt hour. The City had .or some years been fully alive to the necessity of attract- ing further manufacturing industries and of the importance of cheap power as a nieans to this end. Owing to the great distance from coal and oil fidds the pnce of fuel was. and still is, very high, and the competition with other cities possessing cheap hydro-electric, fuel and natural gas power was felt to be very keen. i^ "ci Application for reduction of the rates for electric light and power from existing sources were unsuccessful and the Citv then negotiated with many persons who ofleied to form companies to supplv power in the Citv but these ofiFers involved the granting of franchises on 'terms that were not T,T^ ^u '" ^^"^ ''''''''''' ""^ '^' C''>'- The best of these offers was S50.00 per horse-power year supplied for municipal purposes and with no restriction as to the price to be charged to the citizens. The City then seriously considered the possibility of developing hydro- flectnc power itself, and the succeeding steps were as follows- 1905-1906. Examinations and surveys were made of several power sites on the Winnipeg river. 1906. The engineers submitted reports on several sites, recommended "U^'^c ^"^ ^°''' ""*^ estimated the cost of the initial development al 53,250.000. The Provincial Legislature then empowered the City to submit a money by-law to the citizens to construct the power plant and el.stnbute electricity, and a by-law for S3,250,000 of fortv-year debentures uas passed by a large majority. Mr Cecil B. Smith was retained to design and supervise construction >n collaboration with a Board of Consulting Engineers consisting of Messrs II. -\. Ruttan, Louis A. HcnU, and William Kennedy, Jr. The work then iirocecdcd continuously. 190S. Mr. W. G. Chace was iippointcd resident engineer to continue e construction, and remained in charge till December, 1911 1911. On October 15 the supply to Winnipeg was commenced from ">h part of the plant as was then completed and carried on continuously. : : ■. maximum ioail iii December of this vear was 2,700 kilowatts 1912. The rates were fixed early in the year at i\ cents per kilowatt ^"ur for lighting and for power, both rates being subject to discount for 71 tl 72 Department of the Interior. W payment within ten days and to further lar^e discounts according to das. o service and consumption. These rates are shown more fully on the attached schedules and diagrams. 1913. On April 30 the original installation was considered to be completed. As shown in greater detail under "Particulars of Plant " this gave a capacity of 26,000 horse-power. By December of this year the load had reached 14.600 kilowatts or at 92 per cent, efficiency, neariy 21,500 horse-power on the tufbines, an,l planf «=0"s«dered advisable to order three additional main units of On the second anniversary of commencing supplv there were 25 600 consumers connected.

The second irausmission line was started, the footings for same being almost complete,! when war broke out and caused temporary cessation of the work In Dc- Ty't^'vl -'"'''■ ";'' '"^''i"'"^ load on the power station had risen to 17,100 kilowatts, or about 25,000 horse-power. The net financial result of the second complete year's operation, after ^6nS''r"^«; XK^'';. f "•''"*'' ^""'^ ""^ depreciation, was a profit of 560,223.00. (See Table 35.) 1913 The three new main units were completed in February and showed by test that they developed 7,220 horse-power each at 80 per cent gate °P<=n'"S. bringing up the total capacity of the generating plant installed to date to 46,660 horse-power. The estimated maximum load for the year will be 29,200 horse-oower at the generating station. The growth of the undertaking is shown on Tabic 35. FINANCIAL INVESTMENT. On the following Table 33 is given a complete list of all the mone^• bv-laws that have been passed for the purpose of construction and develon'- nient of the undertaking to March 15, 1915, and on Table No. 34 is shown the total expenditure to the same date. For depreciation a levy is fixed by the Public Utilities Commissioner each year according to investments on the integral part of the plant th. rate being determined according to the life of the different structures The total approximates 4 per cent, of the amount invested in property Out of this IS taken the sinking fund (about 1.83 per cent.), leaving amnU. provision to meet depreciation and obsolescence on all depreciable parts oi the undertaking. This is in addition to expenditure on maintenance an.i reijairs. ^?resent prices at which hydro-electric power is supplied ' Any increase in the price of hydro-electric power would mean serio„s inconvemence and loss to both large and small manufacturers and th. dTect on the CUy would be decrease of employment and a heavv handicap on Its future growth and i)rospcrity.

The fi-st street cars in Winnipeg, drawn bv horses, were operated on Mam street October 24, 1882. First electric car run from Main street to River Park. July. 1891. Winnipeg Electric Street Railwav Companv started construction of lines in Winnipeg in September. 1892. and operated electric cars in com- petition with horse cars on Main street until the Winnipeg Street Railway Co. sold out to them in 1894. The first street cars, drawn by horses, operated on Main street from City hall to Fort Garry. Mr. R. A. Sara. B.A.Sc. the sales manager of the Citv Light and Power Department, in his very comprehensive- and able historv of the municipal undertaking, refers to the Company as follows: "This Company commenced operations when Winnipeg was a small town of only 1.500 inhabitants. . . The Companv grew up with the City and assisted materially in the City's growth, improving its plant and equipment from time to time as necessilv demanded and earnings would permit." In 1891. when Winnipeg Street Railwav Companv started operating an electric car line from Main street to River Park, the power was obtained trom a small steam generating plant on the Assiniboine river. This plant was enlarged from time to tin,c. The generator that was used when Win- nipeg Eicctric Street Railway Company took over the business of Winnipeg Street Railway Company is now use 2,300 v;)!l rurroni .k-Iixered hv the generators IS transformed up to 66,()()() volts for transmission to Winnipeg over a double eircmt steel lower transmission line.

The Winnipeg Electric Railway Company owns and operates 108.426 miles of single track street railway lines in the cities of Winnipeg and St. Boniface and immediate vicinity. They also control and operate the Suburban Rapid Transit Company's railway, which serves the municipality of Assiniboia, and has a mileage of 21.021 miles, and the Winnipeg Selkirk and Lake Winnipeg Railway Company, which has a mileage of 39.405 miles, and serves the towns of Stonewall and Selkirk and the village of Stony Mountain, as well as a number of well-settled municipalities along its route. The various suburban lines have been a great factor in building up the district around the cities of Winnipeg and St. Boniface and making the City markets available to the suburban residents, farmers and market gardeners. Under local improvement by-laws in the City of Winnipeg alone. Wiimipeg Electric Railway Company is charged with a total of SI. 523. 602.9.? for ])aving charges to date.

The Winnipej; River Power Company and the Winnipeg River Railway Company ])ossess no assets other than sites, licenses and leases of laml, and will be financed by Winnipeg Electric Railway Company, which will hold the stock. The issued cajiital stock of Winnipeg; Electric Railway Company at the present time is S9,')00,000.0O, and there are ai)i)roximately 400 share- holders. Authority to j,'uarantee bonds of the above companies was granted to WinniMcp; Electric Railway Comjiany at the 1915 session of the Manitoba Legislature.

GENERAL REMARKS. DeiK^ndinK u,x,n a continuous and reliable supply of cheap power from WtnmpeK river, manufacturers have exix-nded hundreds of thousands of dollars in Wmmpt-K -ind immediate vicinity, and anv curtailment of water in the Winnipeg river would seriously aflfcct these industries and prove a Kreat source of loss to the City of Winnipeg and surround! ag districts For instance, at the present time Winnipeg Electric Railway is supplying power from its hydro-electric plant to Ogilvie Flour Mills, which has a capacity of 3.000 barrels of flour and 500 barrels of rolled oats per day to the Western Canada Flour Mills, which have a capacity of 5 200 barrels of flour per day. and to the Canada Cement Company. whiVh has a capacitv at Its mi,l of 4,000 barrels of cement per day. Any interference with the continuous supply of current to these industries will throw a large number of men out of work and seriously iflfect many trades enxirelv dependent upon their products. A large number of small manufacturers 'also depend entirely on hydro-electric power in their business, and anv increase in the cost of produang power would practically put these men' out of business as cheap power at the present time is one of the principal factors in their '^UtCOSS. Large blocks of power are also furnished by the Company to the Cana- dian Pacific Railway Company and the Canadian Xorthern Railway Com- pany for the operation of their various roundhouses and shops and to the Government of Manitoba for the agricultural college and other provincial buildings. ' Strictly speaking, there is not a citizen in Greater Wi,n,.,,eg who has not benefited since this Company first introduced hvdro-electric power into Winnipeg and paved the way for rate reductions and ma.le profitable manufacturing plants possible. The tknutnu is constantly increasing, and the Company's available supp y of power is already spoken for. Every year sees an 'extension of the Company s lines into new territory, requiring addition.-.l „n«-,.r .,,,,1 new plat ' ( f I. \' J - I" J pel ng up. 104 Department of the Interior. The Company is confident that in the very near future there will be a demand for all the available power that can ht ieveloped, and have taken ste])s to increase its supply by securing an additional -^ite at Grand du Bonnet falls and commencinj; the construrtion of a plai.t to develop approxi- mately 100, 000 horse-jwwer.

The town of Ken( the jKiwer, the town took steps, by way of cxporpriation proceedings amhorized bv an Act of the Legislature of the Province of Ontario, passed in IW.V to acquire a sufficient area of land (jn both sides of the stream V, construct the neces- sary dam and power works. /.W.J The town obtained from the Ciovernmcni of the Province of Ontario a lease, dated December 19 of that year, of the bed of the stream and the water jKiwer thereon. I9(J7 Supply commenced February 9, from the initial installation of three 900-brake horse-po'wer units; total, 2,7(K) horse-power. The town required at this time about 750 horse-power for lijjhting streets and residences, for small motors and for waterworks pumping;. It also contracted with the Maple Leaf Fiour Mills Comi)any to supplv 1,IM)0 horse-power at SIO ]K'T horse-power year, the Company to have t\u- right, under certain conditions, to increase its demand to 2,(MX) horse-i)ower.

STATEMENT OF THE LAKE OF THE WOODS MOLING COMPANY The head office of this Company is in Montreal. It owns and operates mUls at Kecwatin and Portage la Prairie, and one hundred elevators through- out Manitoba and the Northwest. The president and managing director is Mr. Frank S. Meighen. of Montreal, and the general manager is Mr. Wm. A. Matheson, of Winnipeg. The total paid up capital of the Company is— Common stock Preferred Bonds The Keewatin Flour Mills Company's bonds, $750,000, 6 per cent first mortgage gold, dated September 1, 1906, and due September 1 1916 are unconditionally guaranteed by the Lake of the Woods Milling Company! Total capital actually in use for these mills, including bonds and loans. #5,800,000. As the Kecwatin Flour Mills are the only jjortion of the Company's property dependent on Winnijwg river |wwer, they arc the onlv portion dealt with below. They consist of Mills "A" and "C". located on artificial outlets from the lake to Winnipeg river near the town of Keewatin, about 2} miles west of the eastern outlet. Mill "A." This development was made by the Company in 1887. The plant then consisted of two 60-inch "New American" turbines. 32i horse-power at 18-foot head, and J 78 horse-jKJwer at 20-fooi head each, and one 22-inch "New American" turbine. 95 horse-ix)wcr at 20-fw)t head. Total rated capacity. 851 horse-jjower. In 1896 the plant was temporarily closed for addition of further ma- chmery. Two 66-inch "New American" turbines. 414 hors4«-,)ower at t8-foot head and 485 horse-iKJwer at 20-f(K)t head each, were installed in place of one of the 60-inch turbines. The |K)wer plant then consisted of four "New Amencan" turbines, two 485 horse-iH)V'er each at 2()-foot head one ^78 horse-iKmer at 20-foot head, an.l one 95 horse-jM.wer .it 20.foot head, making the total rated cai>acity 1.44.? horse-power. In the year 1905 an additional jwwer house was erected and two units .W-mch duplex horizi.ntal turbines. siH>cial hi^h speed desit-n. ma.lc bv Wiitiam Koimedy & Son. Owen Sound.

In 1907 Mill "C" was started and has been m continuous operation since that date. The head is 20 feet. The power plant con.sists of two 900 horse-power lurbmes. and one of 600 horse-ix>wer. Total. 2.400 horse-jxiwer. The total rated capacity is therefore 2.400 horse-power, which at 80 per cent, efficiency would require 1.320 .second feet. The capacity of this mill is 6.{HH) barrels jn-r twentv-four hour dav t will he noted that Mill "C" has the larger output but the smaller ms rilled capanty of ,x,wer plant.
