NEW HYDRO-ELECTRIC
POWER FOR RUTLAND
New Dam and Reservoir to Be 10.
Gated About 1000 Feet South of
Mendon Power Station.

Rutland, July 19.-Work on the
hydro-electric power plant to be
known as Development No of the
waters from the Chittenden storage
dam owned by the Rutland Railway.
Light and Power company OF this
city. will be commenced at once, ac-
cording TO the announcement made
yesterday by officials of the company.
The plans include the building OF a
power plant just south of the Mill
/ Village chapel, togothc- wit the con
struction of reservoir capable Of
storing 5000, 900 cubic feet of water
the storage to be located about 1000
feet south of the present Mendon
power station.
BY the addition of this pl,at the
output of the company viii be in
creased approximately 100000 kilo-
watt hours per year and il is beliey-
cd that this will greatly aid the Rut-
land company to meet the increased
demands being made for cheap com.
mercinl power by tho new manufac-
turing companies which are seeking
this section because of the possibili-
ties of obtaining power furnished
from white coal"
The dam for the new reservoir,
which will not be of large storage
capacity 1t being planned to simply
reuse the water after it passes
through the Mendon station of the
Rutland company will be located
about 1000 feet south of the Mendon
plant. The dam viii be q feet high,
about 400 feet long at the lower end
with an 500 foot retaining wall on the
the south which will vary from IA
feet in height to a point where it
comes to a level with the natural
boundaries OF the artificial lake. The
reservoir will cover about six acres.
With the addition of this power
which is planned to be ready by Janu
airy /, 1920, the Rutland company will
generate from the water of Chltten-
den dam over 22000,O00 wilowatt
hours annually. The Rutland require
ments and those of western Vermont
took up 16,00O000 in 1918 so the
need of newly developed power can
ho readily seen.
This will make the third develop
ment from the waters of Chittenden
dam which is located about nine
miles from the city above the village
of Chittenden The first powc Is
obtained at the Pittsford plant, the
drop of 4S0 feet from the big surge
tank at the top of the hill east of the
plant netting the company 4500 horse

the East Pittsford reservoir of $780,
100000 cubic feet capacity and
thence to the Mendon station. a drop
of 220 feet where 1000 more horse
