 CURRENT PLANNED PERMISSION IS GRANTED
COMPANY EXPECTS TO DENEL OF 6,000 OR 1000 HORSE POW
 FIR WITH PLANT.

Little Rock, May l9.-The Arkan- sas Rallrad Commission has granted permit to the Ouachita Power Com pany of Arkansas to construct a hy- dro-electric power plant on the Qua chita river, about six miles southeast from Hot Springs.
 The company plans to develop coco |or 1000 horsepower at it's principal power dam, which will be located one and three-quarters miles south from the Rock Island track, from Lawrence station and the Essex park race track, and to locate large cotton mill near it's power plant. The remainder of the power will be transmitted to Hot Springs, Benton, Malvern, Little Rock and other points within 150 miles radius.
 They have also a permit to con |struct auxiliary and storage dams on the Ouachita river and it's tributaries above their principal power dam, which, when constructed, will give them several thousand horsepower more than their initial development.
 They are confident that they can get the contract for supplying from l 300 to 2,000 horse power to the Lit tie Rock & Hot Springs interurban when it is built, at price consider ably less than that company can pro duce it from coal, and so save the in- terurban company the cost of install ing power plant. They also expect to run suburban electric railway from Hot Springs down the Hot Springs creek to the lake or mill pond, which will be created by the building of their dam, and make a fine recrea- ition feature for Hot Springs for boat ing and fishing on the waters of the lake
 Levi Storthz of Little Rock is presi- dent of the company and D. L. Phil lips is secretary and manager The company is given two years in which to begin the construction and four years in which to complete it.
 A former grant by the state to an other company, dated May Il, 1910, to construct plant near the location of the Ouachita Power Company $ site, has expired on account of the failure to construct within the time given.
