Description
SECONDHAND BOOK
Brown Power tells how the State Electricity Commission of Victoria created and has developed an electric power system, based on the use of vast brown coal resources, which has had a profound influence on a social and industrial progress in the south-eastern part of Australia containing the nation’s largest aggregation of people. The Commisison began fifty years ago in 1919 with six men and a girl working for three part-time commissioners in a basement room of the Victorian Mines Department Museum, formerly in Gisborne Street, Melbourne. Today it is one of Australia’s greatest industrial and commercial enterprises with over 20,000 employees, capital assets exceeding $1,270 million, and nearly one and a quarter million customers.
