Great Electric Power.

The Susquehanna Electric Power
Company which has been on the
tapis for several years bids fair to
take definite shape and become an
accomplished fact this, the last year
of the nineteenth century. -Four
million dollars is wanted to COM
plete the enterprise, for which
bonds or stock will be issued.
At Columbia, Pa, the Martic
Water and Power Co. is expanding
$40O, 900 as an object lesson of what
they expect to do. Across thu
river they are building a dam.
Leading from it, down the river,
they will build a wall, near the
western shore, which will form a
race. On this race will be built
power house and the necessary
electric arrangements. In the race
will be turbine water wheels, which
will generate 1000 horse power to
start with, and 1000 before the
entire power of the plant has been
expended. York, Pa, Columbia,
Wrightsville and Lancaster will be
reached. Those towns are now
using an estimated horse power of
%, 900.
With this object lesson the pro
.jectors of the scheme do not antic-
ipate great trouble in floating the
bonds for the development of the
greater plant at Conowingo, Md.
In fact, effort is being made at this
time to bring the matter to head.
The Maryland company, which has
the project in hand, is in the hands
of James Fl. Harlow, president;
Geo. X. McGaw, treasurer; S. j.
Caldwell, secretary, and as direc-
tors: s. NJ. Manifold, G. G. Cald-
well, VIM. T. Brown, Arthur H.
Jackson, Chas. r. McConkey. 1t
is known as the Susquehanna Elec-
trio Power Co.
The calculation is that the plant
at Conowingo will generate $4,000
horse power, or 30, 900 horse power
more than is used in every branch
of trade in Bal tmore which uses
power of any kind, steam engine,
gas engine or electric. The enor-
nous capacity of this plan is shown
by comparison with the power fur
nished by the Niagara company, at
Niagara Falls, which produces
30, 900 horse power, and which has
caused a Juror in the electrical
world.
The plan is to build a dam nearly
across the Susquehanna at Como
wingo, land then reach down the
western shore of the river for seven
miles, with a great wall, which will
form the race that gives water to
the turbines. In this distance a
fall of so feet will be secured, and
give place to two generating plants.
The power thus obtained will
make it possible to run the current
into Baltimore, 80 miles away, into
Wilmington, a similar distance, and
into Philadelphia, so miles away.
1t is also possible to furnish power
to the quarries at Delta and vicin-
ity, which now have great trouble
with steam, because of the sandy
condition of the water they are
compelled to use.
