 Only one tower will be erected, instead of the two as originally planned. according to the statement made today by c. E. Bence, who has charge of the plant The upper end of the aerial will be fastened to eye bolts set in concrete in the solid rock Of the mountain-side, iGoO feet above the level of the sea. which will give an added height and also an added length of the aerial. over the tower erection plan.
 The steel work for the two towers has been in Juneau for the past two years but the work was delayed until tests were made to determine the exact location which would give Che best service The lower tower will be set on the little spur Of Mt. Juneau in the Irwin Addition, just across Gold creek. and will set on -the massive concrete found which has just been put in by w F. Skoog.
 On top of the 300 foot tower will be a network of steel in the shape of monster arms which will give the aerial Side spread of fifty feet The top Of the tower will be GOO feet above salt water level and the upper end of the aerial, where it reaches the cyc bolts in the noun tain-sidc. will be 4OO feet above that The aerial will be over 1000 feet in length from the tower Co the upper end In addition the aerial will run from Che top of the tower Co the station house on Irwin street. with am additional length oi 600 feet

Qucnched spark plant. and while great deal smaller than the 800 k w. plant near San Francisco, or tho % k w. plant at Ketchikan, it will be more modern than either oi them.
 As soon as the installation has been finally completed, A. W. Earth construction engineer for the com pany will come north and make thc final tests Of the plant before it is officially accepted and opened for business. In the meantime the bus mess of thc company will be han died over tIe present plant, whlcl will not be dismantled until thc new installation has been fully test cd out and has proven its worth. A W.
