lican. Not only that, but the Central
Colorado Power Company will here
after make this city its home office.
The welcome of the Central Colorado

tract, one of the largest 1t has yet
made, with the Denver Gas & Electric
Company, to furnish the latter all the
power 1t will need in the future for its
rapidly expanding business. 1t was
learned Thursday that the Central
company would move its entire head
quarters and office force of about sew
enty men into rooms in the Majestic
building at Sixteenth and Broadway.
The home office has until now been in
Colorado Springs. Later the company
will occupy the entire third floor of the
German American Trust building be-
ing erected at the corner of Seven
teenth and Lawrence streets.
The wires of this gigantic power
concern, which will carry an initial
pressure of 100000 volts, have almost
reached Golden and soon will be in the
city limits. Within a very short time
the company will be ready to supply
vast amount of electric energy to
Denver business houses and enter
prises.

Denver Gas and Electric Company,

I'VE have made contract with the
Central Colorado Power Company to
take electric power from them as we
need Il, as our business grows and we
need the added capacity. The lines of
the Central Colorado have reached
Golden from their plant at Shoshone.
near Glenwood Springs. The wires
come via Leadville. over the mountains
to Idaho Springs and will soon be ready
to deliver power here. At the city
limits they have purchased ground and
will establish a sub-station where the
100000 voltage pressure will be run
into step-down transformers and re-
duced to a voltage that is safe to be
used through the city on our wires.
According to present plans the service
is to begin in April"
