The Shortage of Electricity

Approximately 1000 men were thrown

drought there will be no improvement.
The lack of water is the same at all
dams of the company, including Bolton
Falls, Mad River Valley and Molly's
Falls and report comes that similar
shortage is being experienced in other
places of the state. 1t had been hoped
that relief could be secured for the Barre
district by hooking up with the big
plant at Essex Junction; but word came
this morning that the water there was
far below normal Level for this season of
the year and no power could be distrib-

electricity will be provided to enable
the plants to run their hoists, thus per

a very satisfactory arrangement, but it
may be the only resource for consider

The blow falls particularly hard, as
most of the manufacturers were running
their plants to capacity, employing all
the men they could secure. In fact, the
Barre granite industry was speeding up
when this disastrous check came upon
them. If there should soon come break
in the dry spell it would prove the saw

Railroad Over a Canal
(Washington SUM

Plans for conversion Of the Ches-
apeake and Ohio canal into a rail
carrier by draining the water from
the canal and placing rails on the old
bed, in connection with a scheme for
development and utilization Of water
power from the Potomac river. are
being studied by Secretary Baker of
the war department on his present
trip to France.
The plan as proposed by former
Representative Lafe Pence of Colo
RADIO and associates contemplates
elimination Of tn, water route from
the western sections of Maryland,
West Virginia and Pennsylvania, in
its larger concept and utilization Of
the bed Of the old canal for a double
track system designed to distribute
with greater ease and at a greatly
reduced cost the thirty millions Of
tons Of COAL. in addition to other
products brought to the seacoast
either by rail or water. It also con-
templates a tunnel to extend under
K and L streets and Massachusetts,
avenue to the Union station to form
a junction with the Baltimore and
Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads
there and extension from the station
under ground to the waters of the
Eastern branch. Stations will be
built under the proposed plan in the
District Of Columbia for passenger
traffic at Mount Vernon square and
at Market place.
Proponents Of the scheme, for
which the maps and engineering pro-
posals have been put In the hands
of Secretary Baker and are being
studied by him on his trip abroad,
claim that by taking the water from
the canal bed and placing rails In the
bed the double purpose will be served
In eliminating the present heavy
grade of railroads to western Mary.
land and lower Pennsylvania and a
shorter route direct from points in
those states. Little or no opposi.
ton is feared from the Baltimore
and Ohio, according to the men be-
hind the scheme. for the reason that
it is felt that when railroad officials
contemplate the advantages of the
scheme they will fall in line and be-
come its chief adherents.
Would Put Double Track In Canal
It is proposed to run a double
track railway over the canal ditch
from Cumberland. or q point beyond
Cumberland, to Washington. These
tracks are to connect at the Cumber-
land terminus with tracks Of the Bal.
timore and Ohio. the Pennsylvania,
the Western Maryland and other in
tersecting railroad lines, and at the
Washington :erminus with the tracks
Of the Washington Terminal Com
pany, entering the Union station.
The canal line. it is claimed, will af-
ford a thorough and direct easy de-
scending grade route from the coal
fields Of West Virginia. Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland. and from the
agriculture. fruit and truck country
lying to the east OF these coal fields.
