The chief cause of 1 thIs lack of modern equipment. Is the refusa' ' _ of the city to permit an Invnslon of over- _ I hctul wires. After a fight lasting ten years the authorities swept the city of Its forest of 1)01(5 not ! network of wires. They were . forced underground by the heroic remedy of the ae nppfleii to the polo cvii.

It has been the experience thus far at Niagara that more millions are itt hand for Iiivestment in the scheme than the market for the developed power war- L rants. Electrical energy , it has been found , : , can be transmitted successfully os far as Buffalo , but there is not a large enough I f market In that city for even a small part of the power it is proposed to develop at NIagara Fails. In New York City , on the other hand , is an unlimited market for power from the Catkihls. and to that fact is due the readiness of investors to back the projecteti entcrprlsP.
