The letter differs, however, from the old style letter, in that the writer in the present instance represents him- self to be a Ruesian banker from St. Petersburg, who hes fallen "indnr- ance vile."

Should the scheme become e e an actu- ality the Stratford stepping -down station would be enlarged and power would be stepped down from 110,000 to 44,000. volts here for a main line extension from Stratford to Goderich.' The effect of thec onnection though the report does not discuss this gfsf point,. would presumably be to modify in part tbe cost of Niagara power on this of the Niagara system.
