Chamberlain and Master Mechanic Mel Abbott of the city ’water and light plant have been busy installing a new dynamo and putting the old engine that did duty for so many years before the installation of the present big new one, and they now purpose to use the old engine after midnight when the drain on the power is not great. This will mean a saving pf at least one-third in fuel, it is said, as it takes considerably less coal to furnish steam for the old engine. The new dynamo differs from the old ih that the so-called exciter Is entirely separate from the dynamo proper. ; J Gboxoiixa: ; V ' •Our ehef says Gold Medah Flour VKRoiGCA.
