Abstract
THE Board of Trade has been busily engaged during the past few weeks with two inquiries of great im portance to the electric lighting industry. The decision arrived at in the one of these which dealt with the maximum price to be charged for electric energy has already been referred to in our issue of March 14 (p. 474). The other inquiry, which was opened on March 1 under the presidency of Sir Courtenay Boyle, occupied the attention of the Board of Trade for six days, and has raised some points of considerable technical and scientific interest. The Board has not, as yet, given its decision, but the hearing of evidence and the pleadings have been completed, and we propose briefly to review the expert evidence in the following article.
