Excerpt from The Ontario Power Co of Niagara Falls and the Ontario Transmission Company, Ltd From the gate house two 18-foot diameter steel and concrete conduits lead the water underground through Queen Victoria Park for a mile, the first conduit terminating at the overflow and the sec ond at the surge tank.

Excerpt from Niagara Power, Vol. 1 of 2: History of the Niagara Falls Power Company, 1886-1918; Evolution of Its Central Power Station and Alternating Current System; History and Power Projects When started thirty years ago, The Niagara Falls Power Company was the greatest hydro-electric enterprise in the world, with water turbines larger than any at that time in existence. Today, having kept step with the marvelous development of the art, it still retains that distinction as its latest water turbines are not only the largest but also the most efficient now in use. The author of these volumes was for twenty years the president of The Cataract Construction Company which erected the original power stations at Niagara Falls and gave financial stability to the then Niagara Falls Power Company. He was intimately associated with every step in the development and personally sought out and interested the eminent international engineers whose counsel and advice were so helpful in the pioneer work. Well might he say with Virgil, All of these things I saw, and a great part of them, I was. It is pleasant to note in this connection that for his work at Niagara Falls, Mr. Adams was awarded the John Fritz Medal, the highest honor at the bestowal of the four senior national engineering societies of this country.

In Ontario no one believes that the Falls are in danger of being destroyed, and owing to the absence of coal in Ontario there is an almost Mi, mous sentiment that the future development of the in dustries of the Province is', in no small degree, dent upon the development of Niagara power and its °bu tion over a wide area, either by means of government ownership or otherwise, at the lowest possible cost.
