The Tom'chi Avenue plant in
wolves the building Of q 6,GO0-foot
conduit. 60 inches in diameter. from
a point across from the Palisades.
/ The power house will BIZ located
about seventy-6ve feet from tho
river and the floor level will be
about three feet above the ground.
Installed in the power house will be
two 100 horsepower water wheels, OF
turbines, which will generate Q
minimum Of $50 kilowatts, but the
ultimate capacity will be twenty five
per cent more than this amount.
The capacity Of the present plant,
which is here given for comparison,
is IS kilowstts Thus il will be
seen that the new plant will have
more than double the capacity of
the one nov supplying electricity 10
Gunnison.
The New York Avenue plant
would be substantially the same 10
the Tomlchi Avenue one ~ regards
equipment Of power house and con-
lnit construction But a tailrace of
1900 to 1000 feet in length will be
required to carry away the water
after it runs through the wheels,
and the cost of building zach q
caral will he great. Mr. Hines SAYS.
The tailrace at the Tomichi Avenue
plant would be only IS feet in length.
The third selection for q site-the
present plsnt-would require q tail
race at least half a mile in length,
and Mr. Hines says that considerable
loss Of power would result by reason
of the necessity of building the tail
race high to give the required fall.
Thie would result in loss Of head
OF water. A saving would result
from the shorter conduit bat would
be consumed IN the cost of the longer
tailrace, saws Mr. Hines.
The present plane contemplate re
teption OF the water pumps at the
old pumphouse with the installation
Of two 45o-gallon turbine pumps in
the old powerhouse and their con-
nection with the pumps BY two 50
horsepower motors. The old veil 1t
