ORDER NEW MACHINERY
WATER POWER COMPANY WILL
 INVEST S3o,OoO.
Plant at Ta11assee Falls wnl be In- creAsed to 5000 Horse Power Capacity for Generating
 Electricity,

Tho Montgomery Light and Water Power Company has just placed an order for additional machinery for its large plant al Tallassee which will in- volve an expenditure of nearly 3S0,000 and increase the capacity approximate ly two-thirds.
 The machinery. consisting of three huge water wheels and generator of 1000 horse power, is expected to ar rive in Alabama next October and will be erected before the end of Decem- Der.
 By this extensive improvement of the power company. Montgomery will be- come the best lighted city in the South in proportion to the population. It means that a total of 5000 horse power will be transmitted from the falls at Tallassee to Montgomery, distance of about thirty miles. The same trans mission line that is now in use will also take care of the extra load. General Superintendent Montgomery. of the Light and Water Power Company. said yesterday that the line would be ample to transmit the extra power.
 A large switchboard and numerous other pieces of machinery will be in cluded in the shipment.
 The power company decided upon the increase of capacity on account of the anticipated demand for power. The power sales In Montgomery during the past year have far exceeded the first expectations of the company's officers. The continued growth of the city in- dustrially has appealed to the best in- terests of the company and the addi- tional capacity of the plant has become 8 necessity.
 ''The consumption of power in Mont gomery has increased at such a rapid rate" said Superintendent Montgomery yesterday. that we could not delay the order for machinery any longer. The total power at our disposal, when the machinery has been put in. should an- swer the growing demand for some time to come. The present capacity of the plant at Tallassee Is 5000 horse power. The additional generator will raise it to 5000 horse power which we consider sufficient for the immediate future of Montgomery.
 Montgomery Is now rated as one Of the best lighted cities per capita in the South. When some of the new power has been consumed 1t ought to be regarded as about the best lighted city in the South. We look for the machi- nery in October. By December 1t should be in operation"
 This improvement of the power conn- pany will be the first in the way of capacity since the construction of the plant. The machinery now at the falls has not been added to since the scheme of harnessing the falls at Tal- lassee began. It Is an index to the prosperity of Montgomery which is manifest in many other ways.
