I beg to move, after the word "authority" ["supplied by a joint electricity authority"], to insert the words "or power company."

There seems to be no reason why a railway company should have power to get electricity from a joint electricity authority any more than from a power company or in any easier way. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander and it seems to me the argument that the railways might be able To take electricity from one generating station but not from another without an inquiry, is illogical.
