HUGE POWER PLANS
OFHAMMON'S MEN

erect couple OF additional plants on
the Truckee river above Truckee and
below Lake Tahoe, for supplying the
Nevada transmission lines and it is
also stated that these Nevada trans
mission lines will be installed and
supplied before any California work
Is done.
Included in these plans Ii is report
ed without authority, is a project for
a trOlly line from Reno To Woodfords
This line is to be built from Minden
to Woodlords first to allow the com
pany to haul its supplies TO the bis
construction camp at Woodiords. The
line is To be extended To Carson City
and then TO Reno and in case the in
terstate commerce commission makes
Reno Il terminal pint. the power
company will haul its own freight
from Reno to its works ON the Car
son and Walker rivers.
The system to be created by tn,
power company is To be the most eX-
tensive in the state OF Nevada. The
company expects to be the dominant
figure in future power supply in
Western Nevada at least and has de
clared to its engineers that any
transmission and supply line that will
net five per cent on the investment
is to be taken tip as fast rs possible,
whether the line extends ten miles
or $50 miles with laterals to supply
points along the route.
1t is the intention OF the compan.
10 run a line as far east as Austin,

bic and this line will gather the e.cc-

lines are expected to have developed

disposed of. The service is To he I'm
limited as the company engineers re
port that the water power rights now
owned by the company givr il an un-
limited supply for development.
