Taking Up the Options.

edin the development of the power plants
on the Connecticut river on the Fifteen
Mile Falls. Mr.. Carpenter has already
paid up a number of the bonds as they
have becomedue and he has received funds
with which to take up some options
which do not come due until next
February 1t seems to be quite evident
that the promoters of this plan are
going ahead with the scheme in dead
earnest. The surveyors are still on the
ground and will probably continue their
work uutl they are driven away by
snow and cold weather. Another spring
is likely to see activities along the stream
that will mean much to this region.

the public demand by consenting to

by a telegram from the Hon. Frederick

president OF the st. Louis Centennial
