TIII DIIIDID TOIIPEDO COO ...1hoiressigninsnl It is now over twenty days since the thaw. and notwithstanding the fact-that many skilled crews of men came here from other pro- vinces, who have worked long hours. and restored most of the transmission lines, there are still many distribution lines down and homea without light. and some with only inadequate heat from anv source. TRANSMISSION LINES Transmission lines in this pro- vince have been carried on wooden poles, and have either followed the highways or gone through areas that have a large proportion of cultivated lands. so that the right- of-ways have not been difficult to maintain. Travellers are quite familiar with the giant steel tow- ers that carry the high-voltage transmisaionallnes from the great hydro developments that have been constructed during this century in Canada. A great deal has been written concerning the generation of elect- ricity, and we have seen the Ont- ario hydroelectric plants at Niag- ara; the Grand ti-ulee Dam, on State, with its many giant gener- stars. and many others. but elect- of service, has to be and distributed to. its customers. It.is just as vital to bnlideand mainta' the transmis- sion and distributing lines to the ultimate consumer as it is to pro- duce the electrlc current by steam arid; and all temporarily using current from other power plants SERVICING the right-of-way areas and build these towers requires bulldozers, trucks and no,end of equipment. placed dogteams in patrolling these lines to locate trouble. and that some of the real ”knotiy' problems in connection with the maintenance unfortunate demonstration of whlall ways have been overcome by the happens when this service is dis- rupted by freezing rain (known as a "sllver thaw"), such as occur- rel on January 6th, and continued assistance of chemists. namely the destruction or control of woody plant growth. These power lilies are laid out as directly as possible, and some of them pass through long distances of forest cover, w ere trees quick- ly spring up after he initial clear- ing of the right-of-way. These must be checked on 75,000 acres of land in Ontario, in order that equipment may be moved to effect emerg- ency repairs, and that trees may be prevented from reaching up to the wires or from coming near the conductors. - TREES AND SIIIIUBS Trees and shrubs were cut by hand until about six years ago, as the only practical control method. Within a year or two, copplcoi growth from stumps grew up to three to five feet in height, and had to be cut again. These cuttings did not destroy the trees or shrubs. Hydro's chemical research men, however, now secure better control with chemical herbicide sprays. IIERBICIDES USED .
