The Great York Haven Power Plant.
York Gazette.

The opening of the York Haven power plant
January LIST will be made the greatest indus
trial and electrical exhibit since the sesqui-
centennial in September, 1899. The exhibit
will, if the necessary arrangements can be
made, in fact even eclipse that memorable
event. Power will be transmitted January LIST
and the exhibit is proposed to follow the same
month.
The plant, situated as it is in the Susque-
hanna river below the York Haven falls, is
one of the greatest engineering feats since the
erection of the Niagara Falls plant. The power
transmitted by it is immense. The plan is to
practically illustrate its immensely in one big
exhibit, which will follow the lines of the
demonstration given at the opening Of the
Niagara Falls plant.
The demonstration in this city will be gi-
gantic boom in industrial circles and great
advertisement. 1t is proposed to install the
power in all the manufactures of the city, the
stores and the streets. Large electric signs are
to be placed in front of the stores, and splendid
electrical creations will make the streets as
light as day. Practical tests of the plants eff
cheney will be given. The company claims its
power to be cheaper than steam power.
A feature of the demonstration will be the
running of special trains on the principal rail-
roads at excursion rates to give strangers the
chance of witnessing the triumph of Pennsyl-
vania's greatest electrical feat. Massmeetings,
at which the history and workings of the plant
will be shown, will be features. An industrial
pageant may be included.
