pany, the $7,00O,000 concern that Is
now lighting the streets Of Charlotte,
N. c., and furnishing electricity for
other purposes from plant on the
Catawba river, seventeen miles south
cf the city, will shortly be ready to
guarantee the delivery Of power from
the big development at Great Falls,
this state, by January 1st, 1907. The
transmission lines will be. stretched
up the river to the Catawba plant,
near Rock Hill, and from that point
the current will be distributed to Gas
tonia, Mt Holly, Fort Mill, Rock Hill,
Charlotte and all other adjacent
points.
It is understood that the power will
be centered in this territory until it
is fully developed. Several OF the
mills that are now being operated by
steam have already signed contracts
for the new power, and it is believed
that the transmission lines will cost
from $4,000 to $4,000 per mile. They
will be unsusually heavy and hence
costly.
