Demand for Current Has
More Than Doubled Dur
ing Past Year.
HAS NV. T.G0. 0N.JUMP
Fifth Unit Will Be Installed
at Hutchinson and
Maybe Sixth.

THE demand for electric power to
be used for industrial purposes in
Fairmont and immediate vicinity, has
increased more than 125 per cent in
the past year." said Smith Hood, vice
president Of the Monongahela Valley
Traction company. this morning. An
unprecedented industrial activity fol-
lowing the inception of the Fifty in
Five movement has led to such in
creases in the use of electric power
that we are finding It necessary to at
once provide for greater production at
our power plants"
Sandersol and Porter, engineers
acting for the company, have inspect.
ed the old power plant at cayenne and
have recommended that at a cost Of
thousands OF dollars, the plant be mod.
ernized and started producing 2,00U
kilowatts daily. The authorization of
this expenditure will be made In a few
days and work will be started to pro-
vide for the resumption OF activities at
the cayenne location. The rehabliment
Of the cayenne station is made neces.
sary because Of the immediate demand
for power being made.
It was also announced from the
Traction company offices this morn.
ing that at the time a fifth unit, to
cost approximately $4,000, was Or
dered for delivery November 18th to
the power plant at Hutchinson an op.
Hpn was taken on o similar unit at
the same figure. Whether or not this
option is TO be exercised win be decid-
ed in the next few days. The two I'D.
ditional units at Hutchinson would
provide an increase Of $500 llilowatts
daily, and with the cayenne plant, an
addition of 4 500 kilowatts each day to
the power supply Of the community.
Because of the. extensive. nature Of
the improvements TO be made. 1t will
be. some weeks before power can be
produced at cayenne.
So rapidly has the industrial con-
sumption OF current grown in the past
few months, and Of such magnitude
does It loom in the future, that the
Traction company is planning for pro-
duction on scale which was I'M
dreamed Of a few months ago.
