  This 
  company 
  has 
  largely 
  extended 
  its 
  power-house 
  within 
  the 
  

   last 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  years. 
  In 
  a 
  letter 
  from 
  William 
  B. 
  Rankine, 
  

   under 
  date 
  of 
  March 
  21, 
  1904, 
  it 
  is 
  stated 
  that 
  eleven 
  dynamos 
  

   in 
  the 
  new 
  power-house 
  are 
  now 
  in 
  place 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  units 
  in- 
  

   stalled 
  in 
  both 
  power-houses 
  have 
  a 
  rated 
  capacity 
  of 
  110,500 
  

   horsepower, 
  and 
  that 
  the 
  company 
  is 
  delivering 
  to 
  its 
  consumers 
  

   at 
  Niagara 
  Falls, 
  Buffalo 
  and 
  intermediate 
  points 
  a 
  maximum 
  

   of 
  75,000 
  horsepower. 
  

  

  The 
  110,500 
  horsepower 
  now 
  developed 
  represents 
  the 
  full 
  

   capacity 
  of 
  the 
  present 
  tunnel. 
  This 
  company 
  has 
  secured 
  the 
  

   right 
  of 
  way 
  for 
  a 
  second 
  discharge 
  tunnel, 
  so 
  that 
  when 
  the 
  

   demand 
  for 
  power 
  renders 
  it 
  necessary, 
  the 
  present 
  plant 
  may 
  

   be 
  duplicated, 
  thus 
  furnishing 
  200,000 
  horsepower. 
  In 
  addition 
  

   to 
  this 
  large 
  development 
  on 
  the 
  American 
  side, 
  originally 
  the 
  

   Canadian 
  Niagara 
  Power 
  Company, 
  an 
  allied 
  corporation, 
  held 
  

   from 
  the 
  Canadian 
  government 
  an 
  exclusive 
  franchise 
  granting
