Changes Which Were Being Made In
Power This Morning kecessltate
Heavier Conductors and
More Switches

viii Run New
Factories.

| Heavier. conductors were installed
and switching capacity Increased In
the sub-station of the Keokuk Elec-
/ trio company this morning during the
time that the power and light cur
rent was cut Off Increased switch
Ing capacity also has been installed
IN the switch boards of the Missis-
sippf River Power company. En-
ployes Of the power company were
engaged in making these changes
early this morning.
All light and power current in Keo-
kuk was shut OFF at $3.50 o'clock this
morning. Sufficient notice had been
given by both the electric company
and the power company so that the
users of power were prepared. Only
few people were inconvenienced by
the change, Sunday morning being
the best time to make the change.
An additional 5000 horse power
will be carried when. the wires to the
River Smelling and Refining company
and the Standard Four Tire company
are In use. This necessitated heav-
Ter conductors, and the cutting OF of
the current to make the changes.
The company would not be able to
make these changes with the usual
big current going through the wires.
This additional current means the
addition to switchboards and cables.
An additional panel is added to the
switchboard at the substation and ad-
ditional switches and cables are add
ed at the power plant to carry this
load. In all it will amount to some.

CURED this morning and the tels-
phone company kept its instruments
working during the three and one-half
hours that current was shut OF. The
company has both storage batteries
and gasoline motor to run its plant
with which were used this morning

was down.
