POWER CO.NEW PLANT
STEAM AUXILIARY
 NEARING COMPLETION
Will Give Plant 250 Horse Power More Than at Present-NeW Equip ment is of Modern and Improved Design Throughout.

The fact that this is one of the most enlightened sections of the state is due in large measure to the Illuminating in- f1uence of the Berkshire Power Company, which, from it's plant on the Housatonic river, supplies electric light and power to Canaan, Sharon, Millerton and Nor folk.
 The power plant, run by water, which under normal conditions of tide and temperature has proved ample for all requirements thus far, is being re- inforced with an auxiliary steam plant of sufficient power to operate the entire business, if necessary, independent of the water wheel. For this auxiliary establishment, building 30 by 50 feet of fireproof brick, has been built, and the machinery is being installed.
 The equipment will consist of two Ames boilers 72 inches by 16 feet, which will supply energy for the engines 250- horse power Sargent of the latest, most effective and improved design. The engine fires will have forced draft from Sturdsvant blower. Instead of high chimney the plant has short iron stack, as the blower will supply draft for fires equal to the capacity of the boilers, and make high stack un- necessary.
 The building is practically finished, most of the machinery is on the ground, some of it is in position, and the entire establishment will be complete and ready for operation inside of month.
 The advantage of the auxiliary estab- 1ishment will be inestimable. It will obviate the frequent interruption of the working of the plant which has been a source of annoyance to both the company and it's patrons at certain periods when the river misbehaves by supplying too much or too little water, or choking itself with ice. as it will be capable of doing alone the whole work required even more efficiently than the original plant at its best.
 The operation of the auxiliary will give the outfit capacity of 450 horse power from the combined plants, which will prove equal to any test likely to be put upon it for a long time to come.
 At the present time the company supplies energy for public and private lighting in the four towns mentioned, besides power for innumerable electric motors in each town. for various in- dustries, from jewellers lathes to grist mills and sawmills and ranging from one-tenth of one horse power to 50 horse power. The demand upon the power of the company is constantly increasing and the auxiliary plant will enable it to meet the demand as rapidly as it increases.

 Meat prices are dropping. The Ca naan dealers have felt the influence of the downward tendency, and the inno- cent bystander and ultimate consumer" are reaping the blessed results.
 At both Walters and Badgeley's mar kets, the prices on all steaks and the best cuts of meats, prices have gone down cents; on sliced ham cents and on whole hams cents.
 :. Whatever the cause of the reduction in wholesale prices, the retailers are con- f1dent in expressing the opinion that there will be still further reduction be- fore any advance is announced.
 For all of which, the dear people will proceed to be duly and truly thankful.
