The peak demand for electric energy last winter forced the P. U.D. to aupply at a maximum ca-: pacity under its present set-up, but with the new power supplied from Bmmeville all new demands rill be met easily, Danielson said. The Bonneville new line from 2hehalis to Shelton is scheduled for completion early next summer at which time energy for the Shel- ton substation will be supplied from it. Until then the power received will be from the City of Tacoma through an exchange aLgreement between the City of Tacoma andS, B.P.A. whereby Bonneville Power Administration replaces the power supplied by the City of Tacoma for the Allyn-Shelton line at the City of Tacoma substation in Tacoma.
