Power is given to purchase additional land by agreement, not exceeding 300 acres, but the company shall not create or permit a nuisance on any such lands (s. 18). An area of supply is defined by sect. 42. No limitation is imposed upon the company as to the class of persons to be supplied within the area of supply. Outside the area of supply the following conditions are imposed by sect. 43: "The company may supply electricity by agreement outside the area of 66 (a.)

Nothing contained in this Act shall be deemed to confer upon the company any powers enabling them to break up any streets or roads outside the area of supply."
