NO TROUBLE TO
PLHCE BONDS
Representative Of eastern Com
pany would take Bonds
for Central Plant

Wnetner the EStancla 1rrlgat
ion District will install a centra
electric power plant or take owe
filings on power sites on the Pc
cos River and build a hydro elec
trio plant transmitting the powe
to the valley, is the question nov
before the board of directors. Or
last Saturday meeting of the
board Of directors was held at the
News office, at which time r. D.
Hutchinson, representing the
General Electric Company of
Schenectady, New York, was
present, and discussed the details
of the proposition. From the in
formation obtainable, Mr.. Hut
Gibson thought the electric
plant a very feasible proposition
for our people. The cost of ms
falling such plant will be about
the same, possibly a little more
than installing a gas-producing
plant, similar to the one recently
installed at Portales, N. M. But
the former has the immense ad-
vantage of the saving Of coal,
which would be a continuous ex-
pense and a great expense, with
either steam or gas-producing
plant. The government has had
a guage on the Pecos River,
within a few miles Of the propos-
ed power site, which shows that
during the past season the mini
mum flow of the Pecos at that
point to have been about two
thousand acre-feet of water dur
ing any single month. This would |
furnish a minimum power of be-
tween five and six thousand horse |
which is more than the district
will need for some time to come.
Before taking any definite steps,
the board willinvestigate the re-
cords in the territorial engineers
Office, as to the filing, as we'll as
the report of the guage and all |
matters pertaining to the power
site. Mr.. Hutchison was of the
opinion that If these were found
to be as represented, his company
would lay before the board a pro-
position to install the plant COM
plete, and take the bond issue in
payment therefor.
Messrs. Morgan and Buchanan
who have been at Mcintosh try
ing to interest parties there in
their rotary pump, attended the
meeting and offered the use of
their pump in making the test Of
the wells. They claim to know
that their pump is a good thing
and will deliver the goods and are ,
anxious to prove this to the peo-
pie. The board will probably
give them an opportunity as there |
