Work on the electric plant out at Port
man Shoals is being pushed rapidly for
ward to completion. The contractors
have probably doubled their working
force. We hear that a night force is to be
put on and hat the electricity to light up
the scene is to be transmitted from the
city. 1t will be impossible to complete
the job by June 1st, the time originally
named, but if the work is pushed as ener-
getically as is contemplated it will not be
long thereafter. What is likely the most
difficult part Of the entire job Is now under
way-building the last section of the dam
ia the middle Of the river. The trouble Is
to keep the water walled away. The
vents, one at either end Of the dam, are
hardly large enough to accommodate the
normal flow of the stream, 30 that the last
section of the work will require a large
Golfer dam to protect the workmen and
the work. What is known % the ''tail
race" by which the water is discharged
after it has left the wheels in the power
house, will lie in the channel Of that prong
of the river which flowed around the east
side of the island Just below the dam. A
large quantity of stone will have to be re-
moved from this to get the necessary fall,
and considerable time will be taken on
this Work.
