Preparing for LiOht
Electric Plant Needs.

The Tucson Electric Light Company
will not be prepared to ronder better
service for a month yet, This cocdi-
tion is brought about by the fact that
it has been found necessary to recon-
struct and reset all of the old boilers
before the new machinery can be put
in operation. A new boiler has just
arrived and is setting on large wagon
on Church street awaiting for the
workmen to complete the foundation
for 1t. This boiler is more than twice
as large as any now in use at the
plant. One of the old boilers has been
removed to make room for 1t and
foundation of fire brick is being bui1t.
Heretofore common brick we've used
for this work and they did not give
satisfaction. Two of the old boilers
are now in operation and the other
two are being put IN repair Wheh
they are completed, the Temalning
ones will be repaired and not '1ntit
these are completed can the new ma
chinery be placed in operation inns
work will take about months time.
