GEO. E WILLIS, KENT PIANO CO. 1682 Marine Drive CANADA TO ADD T)VO MILLION HORSE POWER At the World Power confer- ence held in Berlin last year it was slated by one empire dele- gate that the water power for electrical energy available in the Dominion of Canada could furn- ish 53 million horse power. At present 8 million horse power is being developed by existing hydro plants. It is interesting to note that the hydro electric plants now under construction in the Dom- inion will add two million horse power to the present develop- ment as pointed out recently by Sir Herbert Holt, president of the Royal Bank of Canada. UTILITY EXPENDITURES FORETOLD Public utility leaders predict that the light and power indus- try will expend one billion dol- lars on improvements and ex- pansion in 1931.
