City Transit by Niagara Power Favored in Five Years
Lawyers at a New York transit hearing predicted the city’s streetcar system could be powered by hydroelectric generation at Niagara Falls within five years. Michael Kirtland testified promoters submitted power service applications to Albany and Yonkers. NY Railways might pay 20 cents per kilowatt vs. one to two cents locally. He noted a monthly saving of about $15,000 from Ninth Avenue operations amid recent deficits. The commission valued Eighth Avenue and Ninth Avenue properties at about $9.8 million and $4.1 million respectively, with other figures from Stone & Webster. hearing adjourned to May 10.
