Phelps Mill on Upper
Washington Street
TENTH PURCHASE
IN FOUR YEARS
Plans for Development Are
Not Revealed at
Present

To its several power holdip >Scen-
tral Vermont, the c. II. " 8 Co.,
which controls the Barre ~ S.ontpeIier
Traction & Power Co., y Jnsolidated
Lighting Co., and the y ~ .lier & Barre
Light 4 Power Co., haS :" .ded the Phelps
mill property at the east end of Wash
ington street, the deal having been con
summated Saturday preparatory to the
registration OF the transfer deeds to-day.
The transaction includes the mill build
ing used by Arthur Phelps for custom
saving and the power privileges that are
an adjunct to the plant on Jail branch.
All told, the Tenney company has alb
sorbed 10 waterpowers in this section of
Vermont since the first purchase was
made Nov. IL, 1912.
When interviewed to-day, Manager H.
ID. Larrabee said that the company pur-
chased the property because of its prox-
unity to the Barre power market. No
plans for the immediate development of
the plant have been completed, he went
on, and for the time being Mr.. Phelps
will be permitted TO use the mill and the
power. Later, it was intimhted, the Ten
ney company will take over the entire
plant and possibly make improvements.
just now there are large number of
logs on hand at the mill and there is a
busy summer in prospect for Mr.. Phelps
and his helpers. The property has been
in the possession of the Phelps family
'or many years and an immense amount
# lumber has been its output. 1t is said
hat there is an opportunity for further
development Of the mill privileges at the
1oint where the dam is located.
Manager Larrabee stated that the
company preferred not to name the price
'aid for the property. He said that en-
sineers will be asked to make careful
urvey of the stand in order to obtain de-
allied data as to the possibilities of dc

bic previous to yesterday but the exact

brother is six years younger. Neither had
