Is the Reading Interested?

1t is a significant fact that the Phil
adelphia and Reading road Is using
largely in renewals and for new track
rails rolled by the Lackawanna Iron
and Steel company, in Scranton.
a few weeks ago, when the sale OF
the Pennsylvania steel company was
arranged, ii was announced that the
Reading had been made IL favorable
proposition to become directly interest
ed i'm the Lackawanna company. BY
putting in so much new capital to-
ward the enlargement of the plant
the Reading was to get certain freight
as well as be assured of a rail supply
While all this was denied, there is
reason to believe that the Reading
company has entered into some such
arrangement, directly or indirectly
Vice President Voorhees, yesterday de-
clined to say what proportion of its
rails the Reading was getting from the
Lackawanna Company.-Phladclp

DISMAkTL!NG THE PLANT
Centralizing Process That Is Going
on Among the Electric Light
Companies of the City.

Work has been commenced on the
dismantlng of the Scranton Electric
Light and Heat company's plant, along
side the Delaware and Hudson tracks,
just south of the gas house. Most of
the electrical apparatus Will so into the
scrap heap. The boilers and the like
will be removed to the Suburban Elcc-
tric Light company's plant ON North
Washington avenue, which is now To be
the central power station of the allied
companies.
Many thousands of dollars are being
spent in improving the cIty's electric
light service. The Suburban plant is
being enlarged, re-equipped and REAR
ranged, and when the alterations and
additions are completed it Will be one
of the most modern electric light plants
in the United States.
The plant that is being dismantlcd is
comparatively new. Five years ago it
was as modern as money could make
it. Today it is 50 much out-Of-date
that scarcely any of its equipment can
be made use of in the modernizng pro-
cess now on at the Suburban plant,
The plant of the Dunmore Electric
Light. Heat and Power company is not
being used. Its circuits are supplied
from the Suburban station. The Dun
more plant, however will not be dis
mantled. 1t is proposed to retain II in
tact as a reserve station.
The plant Of the Illuminating, Heat
and Power company, on the river bank,
near the Linden street bridge, Is also
being improved. This plant will con-
tinue to supply its own circuits. Most
of the commercial are lights and in
candescent lights are supplied from this
station. The city arc lights, some COM
mercial are lights and incandescent
| lights, together with all the Dunmorc
| borough lights, are supplied from the
| Suburban station.
Extensive improvements are also be-
| ing made on the outside equipment
| such as poles, fixtures and lights, The
| new system of lights and hangings
| which permit Of trimming from the
| ground, is a very humane as well as
economical innovation. The new LAM
gives an infinitely better light anc
needs trimming only once in hundred

hours. or about every seven days. The
Old lights, with their shadows, pris-
matte rays. chickering's and entomolo-
SIcal collections, had to be trimmed
and cleaned of bug Carcassos every
day, and i'm this work, which was done
atop the pole, many lincmcn were killed
and injured.
About the only complaint now heard
against the electric lighting of Scran-
ton is that the lights are swung too
low. ON this, though, there is divis-
ion of opinion. The electricians con-
tend that the present height of the
lamp is proper for the best illumin-
alton possible. In some instances, a
light should he raised and some others
lowered, possibly, but on the whole the
present height is the most satisfactory,

Continuing, he spoke fervcntly of the
friendship he will always feel for the

declared he would ever entertain none
but the most friendly feelings towards
the local mine workers. He briefly out.
