POWER PLANT.
DuraDt lee and Light Co. Spending
$4,000 for New Machinery, $500
for Power Plant Building.

The increasing demand for elec--
rlc light and power in Durant has be-
come so large that the Durant Ice
q Light Company has found il
necessary to install an entirely new
plant for the generation of electrical
current, with capacity OF one and
half times that of the old plant. and
the work of installation ia now under
way.
The outfit being installed is one OF
the most modern known in the eIectri-
cal business, and known as the Turbo-
Generating Set. The set consists of
three separate machines on the same
base, together with the necessary
switchboards, etc, to handle the cur
rent.
One machine is a huge 500 horse
power actual Steam Turbine of latest
design, which will minimize the cost
of fuel, and which furnishes power to
operate the generator, which is one
of the very latest constructed dyna-
mos. The third machine is what IL
known as the Excitor.
A temporary frame building 5Ox1OO
feet is being erected just west of the
old plant, in which the new machinery
will be housed: In the very near
future strictly modern brick and
concrete building will be built around
the plant. The walls of the perman-
ent building will be OF white enameled
brick to heighth of eight feet, on
top Of which will be ordinary build
ing brick. The floor will be Of con-
crete, and the whole will be covered
by modern steel trussd roof, which
will not require supports.
The old plant will be held in re-
serve for use in event OF a break
down, but the entire load will be pull
ed with the new plant, with which
the company will be able to produce
more current, do it quicker, and at a
minimum cost.

The large number of daring hoidups,
burglaries and miscellaneous thefts
that have been perpetrated in this city
the past few months leads the officers
to believe that there is a local organ

who know the field thoroughly, and on
account Of their familiarity with the
lay Of the land are able to elude cap
ture--perhaps throw off suspicion
even.
