from personal interview and [mm Press statements, it was readily anticipated the: the crisis would soon be passed and ths public might expect. a return to normal service. These, expectations have not been realized and my colleagues and I have decided to avail our- selves of the powers conferred upon the Board by sub-action 1 of Sec- tion 12 of tho Public Utilities Act to hold a siunniary investigation into the matter. And by reason of the fact that the information m- qulred should normally be more easy in acquire from the Utility than from outside sources. we have required officials of the Mal‘- liime Electric Company Ltd. to at- tend before us and submit them- selves for examination. And we are very grateful to Mr. Alnsworth for his attendance new this after- noon.

"This investigation will be three- fold in purpose. (1) We shall eeek to [ind the general and particular causes contributing to the energy stoppages. (2) Whether. or not im- mediate relief may he expected. And (3), if immediate relief can- not be guaranteed. whether unin- terrupted scrvlca may be insured by a voluntary encrg rationing on the part of the consuming public.

Mr. Aisfswoi-thh Testimony

Mr, Ainsworth was accordingly sworn. He stand that he has been resident manager of the Maritime Electric Company since Oct. 1. 1935. Asked as to the reason for the frequent interruptions in the company's service, he said that the load required by tile cornunity, in- cluding the cit-y of Charlottetown and rural areas, was in excess of tiie plants ability to carry it. The station capacity had not. increased substantially slncc- the outbreak of the war. and with the exception of steam capacity. it is not available. The company; generating capacity is approximately the same. but consumer demand has increased- considerably.

"It is understood." said Mr. Bren- nan. "that. n new plant is imdef construction. Is this not available for service?"

“No sir." repfied Mr Ainsworth.

"But he felt that it was better policy to place it within the Britisl‘ Empire" Mr. Brennan snid he understood from other sources. that orders placed in Switzerland had not been filled at. the promised time. My, Alnsworth said this was in accord with his own information.

Compsuy Policy Discussed

Mr. Brennan- “when did you, as mflflfllltl’ 0f the .ocal company, first call to the attention of your board or directors the fact that increased facilities would be ne- oessary?"

Mr. Ainsworth. "That. ls a dif- ficult question to siiewt-r It has ai- WBYS been befirc the board of dir- ectors as a mo. ter of general poi- lcy.

Mayor MacDonald: "If each cus- tomer would cut off one light, would that decrease be any help to u?"
