TO BEGIN WORK ON
EXTENSION OF POWER
PLANT AT EARLY DATE

H. Grenacher, representing the engi-
neering department of the firm of H.
NJ. Billesby & Company of Chicago,
arrived here from the east a few days
ago commissioned as superintendent
of construction for the enlargement
and extension of the plant of the Ar
kansas Valley, Railway Light & Power
company. upon which work is to begin
at once. Mr. Grenacher has all of the
plans and specifications for the pro-
posed improvements, the execution of
which will mean the expenditure of
many thousands of dollars in this
community.
Mr.. Grenacher says that he expects
to have ground broken for the founda-
tion for the extension to the power
plant in the course of a week or ten
days. He will have an office built
at the plant and will take active
charge OF the construction work, which
will last from ten to twelve months.
The addition will be erected on the
east side of the present plant and will
be very imposing structure. 1t will
be eighty by a hundred feet on its
ground foundations and will be OF
brick and steel and made as nearly
fire proof as it is possible to make it.
The addition will be much higher than
the present building, but will be uni
orm with it in general appearance.
The contemplated building, accord
ing to Mr.. Grenacher, will be of the
most modern and up-to-date designs
and will house the most perfectly equip
ped electrical plant west of the Miss.
issippi river. 1t will add 10000 horse
power to the capacity and efficiency
of the plant here, which is more than
double its present capacity. 1t is the
intention of the company. said Mr..
Grenancher this afternoon, to employ
as much labor here as possible, both
skilled and unskilled, in the con-
struction of the building and he ex.
pressed the opinion that it would be
necessary to bring more than one
man here from Chicago to assist him
in the undertaking. The same rule
will be applied to the purchase of ma
terials, except in large lots, that will
govern the employment of labor. In
other words it will be the policy OF
the company to draw upon Canon City
for both men and material where it
can do SO consistently in the con-
struction of the building. Just how
much the structure will cost Xe are
unable to state. but understand the
expenditure for that purpose will be
something like sixty thousand dollars.
1t will be equipped with very expen.
sive machinery and the outlay on that
account will run up into the thousands
of dollars.
In the various improvements and
extensions in connection with the
plant here the company expects to
spend approximately half a million
dollars.
