LIGHT AND HEAT.
THE EXHIBITION PLANT. After weeks of investigation and tallying, the engineer in charge of Exhibition electrical work, Mr F. J. Lough, has obtained interesting statistics regarding lighting, heating, and power in Logan Park.
At '.be present time there are 15,312 electric lamps in the Exhibition, 9124 of which are attached to the stalls of exhibitors or privately-owned features. There are 521 plugs for various installations, sue! as heaters, stoves, kettles, and irons, aud of this number 346 are the property of exhibitors. Then comes the power. There are no less than 421 electric motors in Logan Park, in sizes ranging from the powerful machine used in the scenic railway to the smallest sewing inachiue motor in any privately-owned stall or display. Seventyone motors belong to exhibitors, the remainder are all used by the Exhibition Company. Up to the present time the engineers have had no serious trouble whatever with the installation, and from that point of view alone a great success has been achieved. Logan Park is kept alive aud pulsating with energy by the power that flows into the grounds along the spidery cables at one corner of the park—it is the life blood of Dunedin’s great achievement.
