PROPERTY NEARLY DOUBLED.
New Rights Acquired Recently by
bv Connecticut River Power Co.

A circular letter sent out this week
from the office of the Connecticut Riv-
er Power company in Boston contains
some interesting facts about the dam
project. Since last June the plans for
development have been revised, in
creasing the average working head at
the dam from 27 to 80 feet and the
amount of delivered horse power from
$4,000 to 10000. The company has
also acquired rights on the Ashuelot
river which will develop l,4OO l2-hour-
horse power, and within the last week
has acquired the title to land on both
sides of the French King rapids, about
IA miles below the dam. At this spot
there is available a head of about nine
feet which is capable of generating
$500 12-hour horse power. The site
is admirably adapted to the construc-
ton of dam at small cost. By these
purchases the power company now
controls nearly $4,000 horse power and
since last June the properties have
been nearly doubled.
