" t i will Sa Bom of Contaatloa. ' That the arch la going to.be- the ource of a prolonged fight between the council and the executive board seems certain. Tha councilman contend that the failure to have the arch ready for the Rose Festival la due to Mayor Lane for vetoing the ordinance appro priating the money for the arch'a con struction, thua delaying its erection. The councilman alao aay that tha arch will be finished and that it will remain on the street until It becomes so old that it will have to.be torn down. Quite the opposite opinion Is held by the executive board. The members aay the council-had no business to author-; Ire the arch and now that it has become a white elephant upon the city the executive board members want it re moved as quickly as possible. They do not want It finished and will contest the payment for It. Furthermore they will try to make Contractor Gorman's bondsmen forfeit his bond, amounting to 13.475, tha full amount of tha cost ' of tha arch. ': ...- ' Thought Arch Permanent. -Sweek stated In his appeal to have the matter referred to the atreet com mittee that the' initiative In the matter of an arch of welcome waa with the council and that proceedings started before the Rose Festival - association knew anything about an arch. Sweek also stated that he had always supposed the arch to be a permanent affair and said that he would not have Joined In the request for the arch when It waa contracted for bv the board had he aun- Fosed the members were contracting or a temporary structure. This bit of Information came as a surprise to . the members and It was evident from their expressions that they considered the arch aa part of the Rose Festival solely and expected that It would be torn down Immediately after the festival ended. . However, the coun cllmea when discussing tha arch ' de rided upon one that would remain for at !mt thnw Contractor Gorman was present yes- iciuay miu explained max me aeiay in the construction was due to an error maue in constructing some of tha plas ter forma These did not fit properly ana new ones were eraerea. . it waa impossible to have them made to com plete tha arch on time. -,:- Mm J Hellig P, V.

In such iases power, must be generated by steam; and boilers, engines and dynamos must be kept in readiness for use, thereby entailing such investment and payroll expense, which otherwise would not be necessary. ; j ' v"" - In Portland two sources of water rower are in use Willamette .' Falls and Clackamaa river. . As reserves, steam plants costing, many 'thousands of dollars are maintained at Station E" (Twenty-fourth street ana Sherlock avenue) and at . station Jr on the east side, both conuining expensive electric and steam apparatus. Whenever' the water power fails for any reason, these steam plants are ope rated, and must be constantly kept ready for, an emergency. , ' , ,- The current generated at the power house ia "alternating' cur rent," while the current used on thevtrolley wires is what is known as "direct current,' It is impossible to distinguish between these two currents , in a nontechnical way, but the practical reason for generating alternating current in the first place is that alternating current can be transmitted a long distance at high voltage over' s email amount of copper, while the amount of copper neceaaarr for the distribution of direct current at low voltage would be so great as to make tne cost proniDrave. meretore, tne method adopted la to divide the system up into sections, in each one of which is a substation which receives the alternating current from the main power house and changes it to suit the requirements of the, car' or electric light, service. . 5 -J: ..-' : v ,- -'-'--' ''.:. From the generators In the main power house the current passes to -the alternating current switchboard at 10,000 volts, thence to transformers where voltage is "stepped up to 33,000 volts, from which it is distributed to- the respective, substations located at dif ferent parts of the system. The current travels over copper wires supported on , specially constructed . porcelain Insulators of ' the highest grade and capable of standing a strain of 50,000 volts. After it reaches the substations it passes through what ia known as a step-down" transformer, wmcn reduces it from 33,000 volts to 2,300 volts and passes it to the motor generators or rotary con verters which change it from alternating to direct current at 373 volts, the working pressure at which it Is delivered to the trolley wires. Other portions of the current pass into transformers which reduce the pressure sufficiently for safe distribution throughout the city for. electric light and power.- f - , t From the substations Jthis oower is distributed to the resbective trolley sections by feeders, and tapped into the "trolley wire at suitable distances. It then travels' down the trolley pole and, by cables concealed in the car, to the controller. From that it goes to the motors, where it does its work in moving the car, and passes on through the wheels to the track and so back to the substation again.,: . : ':'.:y-;: To give an idea of the intricacy and extent of the oower system. over 300 miles of wire are necessary for the transmission and dis tribution of the current, in addition to over 400 miles of trollev wires and connections and the great amount of complicated ma chinery at the power . houses. ' ' When the car or electric' lieht service is interrunted in some section of the city by a mishap to any one of these complicated parts, from the water wheels to the wiring and the motors in the cars, you can now form a better estimate of the exeat care that nas to oe taxen in tne operation and maintenance of such a vast 11 electric system. in af ' ' .'II .. . .V -. . ... . nu.
