With the beginning OF work on the

the construction has commenced
which makes one realise how short q
time remains before the plant will be
ready to send current to customers
here and from Burlington to Saint

Machinery Is now being put in to

power house, which is the part above
the solid concrete basement, the four
walls and roof sheltering the i'm

cry to be installed there. This cleo
trical Tart of the plant is to be built
by the Stone & Webster Engineer

engineers. They begin at the turbine
shaft. where Chief Engineer Cooper
leaves off after building the dam. its
appurtenances, the high substructure
of the power house containing the hy-
Idraulic machinery, turbines, draft
tubes and other things; and from the
electric generator on each turbine

largest ever put into one place.
Wonderful Electrical! Machinery.
There are the mammoth genera

of quantity OF current as gallon is
a measure Of water, and each of the
generators produces 100000 watts

be understood only by one conversant

with the electrical installation here
from the newspaper viewpoint, is

B. 6 0. BRIDGE
City Will Keep Land Beneath
Structure and Build the
Approaches

Committees representing the Levy
Court, City Council and the Board Of

as possible. the county to have the
title 70 the land under the bridge but
the Park Board the use Of it and the
city TO build the approaches to the
bridge.
There was a long discussion before
this was accomplished. The Levy
Court wanted title to the land under
the bridge, and Il wanted assurances
that the approaches would be built
before Il took over the bridge. The
members said a bridge without ap-
proaches would be useless and a
burden upon the county The park
board did not want TO give up title
to the land under the bridge, but
compromise finally was agreed upon.
The question OF approaches to the
bridge was settled when assurance
was given that these viii be built by
the city The cost of converting the
bridge into a highway will be about
$4,000. The approaches Will cost
about $4,000, but when the improve
ments are completed. the city will
eventually have q gateway to the
north of the city that Will prove of
great advantage.
