original head office of the Saskatchewan Power Commission was located at 1739 Cornwall Street in Regina, also known as the Provincial Police Building. By March 1930, there were 14 employees administering the commission's work, which included sending hand-written bills to customers at Humboldt, Rosthern, Shellbrook and Leader.

being power pioneers, these employees experienced another kind of drama on a daily basis. They shared the building with the RCMP where there was a constant parade of colourful characters - not guilty and otherwise - to and from the large courtroom on the premises. The aroma of illegal home brew used as evidence in trials often wafted through the commission's offices. On many occasions SPC employees were even asked by the police to appear in suspect line-ups.
