The public demand for electricity has kept pace with the development of the municipal service, as will be gathered from the fact that in July, 1995, the Municipality purchased from the Ear- bour Board 987,000 units, and in July of this year 1,628,500 units-practically a hundred per cent, increase and the car responding figures for the Tramway Co. supply were 178,000 and 203,0000 units.
Up to 1990 the limit of the municipal mains was Middle Road, on that side of the eity, but the cables now extend out to Grove Road and Lavender Strees; on the south they go out to Telok Blangah Road, and to Corotation load and Holland Park in the Tanglin suburban district.

A theatre in such surroundings would have powers of attraction possessed, by no other, and it would be convenient to large residential districts and easily "reached from others by omnibus and tube. It would, no doubt, suffer to some extent from its remoteness from other theatres, but f imagine that the value of the neighbour hood is over-estimated.
