The feeder supplying the Broadway district has been completed; it follows the Fearon Road from the Electricity Works thence via Seward and Boone Roads to the Brondway where a 12KW. Ferranti tank transformer is stationed. This is already supplying energy to shops in the Broadway, including those under the ow wing of the Astor House. Ten new shops have recently been wired by the installation branch of the department, (in the above locality) which are now elec-tically lighted.
ow loop feeder for the Western of, vii Sinza is completed. The route taken by this feeder is_along the tanks of Soochow Creek, which is erossed by the Tibet Road bridge. At Sinza Road, near the Gas Works the line divides, one section feeding into the Town Hall sub-station by way of Lloyd Road whilst the other follows the Sinza Road to Carter Road; connection is made with the mains: in Bubbling Well Road at the intersection of that road with the Carter Road. Eventually all the high tension feeders will be split up into sections so that in the event of one section breaking down or being shut off for repairs or other reasons, the sub-stations may be fed through the remaining sections. 'This arrangement when carried out in its entirely' will practically mean a duplication of all our feeders. They will purposely not ho carried along the same routes, as by so doing the advantage of duplication would to w great extent be lost; for if me line of poles were damaged, the two halves'of the feeder would simultaneously suffer. The work of duplicating, or to he more correct, the work of completing the Ring System will have to be carried out more or less gradually, but it must be borne in mind that the greater immunity from serious supply interruptions apply repays the increased capital expenditure which such schemes involve.
High tension mains have also been extended along Yates Road and Weihaiwei Road to feed the tank transformer supplying consumers in that particular part.
