Judie Trainer, in reporting the findings of the investigation which were based on the evidence of Mr Ainsworth, said it was clear that all that could be done at present to avert a iigh: crisis was to ap- peal to the nunlic to reduce their consumption of electricity.

The Commission had no power to order any cut-off for rationing purposes, he explained.

Purpose of Inquiry

The inquiry had been called, Judge ‘rrainor said, for the pur- pose of determining the causes of the frequent "energy stoppages" and whether or not. any relief in the near future might be expected. The question as to whether or not the head office of the Maritime Electric Company might have pre- vented the present situation by taking precautions in time was not under consideration, Judge Train- oi said. He commended the work- ing staff of the lcciil electric plant for staying on the lob when, if they had imitated the examples of other workers in other countries, they would have gone on st lse.
