Hens that persist In laying outside OF
the nests are usually very dimcult to
break Of this habit. Maybe tho nests

Service
4 Bolton Falls Plant = Capacity Increased

A Bolton Falls Plant Capacity Increased
During the floods of February, 1913, an acct
dent occurred at our Bolton Falls Plant which
would have crippled the service of this company.
if the new management had not already taken the
necessary action to increase our reserve of steam
power.
The floods of that winter were unusually high,
and the Bolton Falls Plant was entirely incapable
of resisting the flood of water which was launched
against it, with the inevitable result that the head
gates were swept away and the plant put out of
commission.
The Pioneer steam station, with its recently
increased capacity, was able to make up for this
loss of water-power and the opportunity was
seized to completely reconstruct the Bolton Falls
Plant
Divers employed to inpect and repair
the dam, in which work 100 cubic yards of con-
crete were used. New walls were built, a new
and larger water wheel installed, and the old wa
ter wheels were entirely RECONSTRUCTED.
The result of this work to put the plant
in condition to operate safely and efficiently, and
its capacity was increased by $50.
During the year of reconstruction this COM
pany burned more than 10000 tons of coal at
cost of S52 100000 in order to maintain the service
and the industries of Montpelier and Barre were
saved from power shortage which, under former
conditions, would have been little short of pub
lie calamity.
