DUMMERSTON PLANT
NOW READY FOR USE
Expensive Repairs on Twin State Co. IS
Power Station Nearly Completed
New Machinery.

The West Dummerston power station
of the Twin State Gas & Electric Co.,
which has been out of commission for
almost a year and q half, has been re-
built sufficiently so that it can be used
for generating power as soon as there
is sufficient water in the West river.
The plant will be completed in a short
time.
The underpinning of the plant was
washed out over year ago to such an
extent that it became necessary to move
out the heavy machinery and almost
completely rebuild the entire power
house. Not only has the builling been
rebuilt but the tail race has been fixed
so that it cannot fill up as it has in the
past, and power can be generated now
with much less water.
A new switch board has been in
stalled, new lightning arresters have
been put in and the generator has been
overhauled. A new generator is ordered
and is to be added to the equipment in
/ December. With this installed the power
capacity of the plant will be doubled.
] Whenever there is sufficient water in
the West river, which is good part
of each year, it will be possible to have
the West Dummerston plant carry all
boro except the power for the street
railway. With the second generator in
use it is expected that in an emergency
it will be possible to carry the entife
load of the town, including the streer
railway.
This will obviate a repetition of the
long period of darkness experienced
one night in July when lightning so
damaged the line of the Connecticut
River Power Co., leading from the pow
er station at Vernon to Brattleboro
that it was impossible to furnish elee-
tric current to the greater part OF
Brattleboro for several hours.
In such an emergency, with the West
Dummerston plant in readiness fol
; operation, it will be possible to shift
from the Vernon plant to the West
Dummerston plant in five minutes.
