MONTVILLE POWER STATION IS ELECTRIC
 NERVE CENTER FOR EASTERN CONNECTICUT

The farsighted vision of an electric power plant that would eventually furnish most of the electric energy for the whole of Eastern Connecticut and reach out into neighboring states by tieing in with other power systems led to the erection at MontviIle on the Thames river, of the power station of the Eastern Connecticut Power Company which began to supply pow CT on the ninth of June last.
 The field and it's possibilities pre- sents a linitless appeal to the imag- ination big enough to see more whir- ring wheels of industry, more pros porous and well lighted communities. more facilities in transportation and the general expansion of Eastern Con- necticut into a greater and greater prosperity arising from the electri- cal energy that radietes from the power station at Montville through all the length of the Thames. She- tucket and Quir ebaue valleys From New London on the south to Mi1bury, Mass. on the north run the power transmission lines from the Montville station of the Eastern Connecticut Power Co., five lines in all, one carry ing 66,000 volts and the other four B 900 volts each. North, south east and west out over these lines flows the energizing current that is to bring to fruition the dream of the development of a great industrial fu- ture for Eas-tin Connecticut which may yet b5 remembered as one of the greatest contributions made by the late Commodore Morton F. Plant to this section of the state, large as have heen his known benefactions in other lines.
 For. aside from the business possi-

b 'lities that he saw in the power com- pany, there were D nanthropic con sidera tions that to great ez1 ent en- tered into his interest in financing the proposition. It was belle ed that a cheap reliable source of power in this section would attract large industries and thus directly benefit the eastern end of the state and indirectly all of New England. The Thames river off CTS exceptional opportunities for man. ufacturing concerns. The river is navigable as far as Norwich and is reasonably free of ice during the win ter months. There is a fine harbor at New London. opening into I ong Is- land Sound, and conTeQuently tn s pro- vides good s ippin~ center to all points. In addition, this section is ing a supplement to water shipments. It is in such a natural field for indus trial development th@t the Eastern
 Connecticut Power Co. station was erected with an eye to a future whose limits can scarcely be predicted.
 As the big Montville station, with it's wealth of electrical power comes to take the pace of small central sta- tions or isolated plants the resulting economy in operation will be great and such a source of electric power always available will solve the power problem for many an industry and be a. continual invitation for the location and establishment of new business looking for the most favorable con : ditions in territory and power which Eastern Connecticut will supply.
 The power station is located on the west bank of the Thames river at Nontville. approximately. midway. be- tween Norwich and New London. this

MADE RECORD YEAR IN
 BUILDING IN NEW LONDON

Building Inspector Benjamin R.. Linicus, win the approval of the court of common council of the city of New London, has during the year 1919 granted 453 permits to build. alter and make additions, which is the largest number of permits granted in any one year in New London. Every permit issued required compliance with the strict building regulations of the city and the work was done in d measure under the personal superintendence of the inspector in so far as the regu- lations require. The permits were divided as follows, and comparison is here made with the permits issued in 1918;
 For industrial and commercial buildings the number was S3, as against 38 in 1917; dwelling houses 121 as against Ill of which 64 was credited to the United States Housing corporation last year; garages 127 as against Al in 1918; for additions and alterations 122 as against 57.

 Stanley Steiger built two story addition 29x31 to his building on Jackson street.
 A firm of Waterbury contractors was granted a permit to erect a new dormitory at the Wfllimantic State Normal and Training School. This will be a three story brick building and will afford accommodations for 100 students. The cost of the dorrnitory will be S276000. The ground. at the the site of the dormitory was broken during the month of October and it is expected that the building will be completed before the coming of sum- mer and will be put into use at the beginning of the fall term. in 1920.
 Building operations nearby Willi- mantle have also shown a slight ten dency to increase over the number for 1913. The largest contract for build ing was forth erection of "a new dim ing hall at Storrs and remodeIling the old dining hall which is now being used as Mechanics. Art building Several permits for the erection of cottages at Storrs were also given out.
 Wade U. Webster, Chief of the Will limantic Fire Department and build ing inspector for WiIlimantic, gave out the above. nsmed permits for building and repairing; J.

river location making an easy solution of the coal handling and water con densing problems. There is storage capacity for 12,o0O tons of coal which is distributed by gravity system from a, bunker to the boilers and can be delivered to the station either by boat or by rail.
 Power Station Building.
 The power station building is divid- ed into three parts-a boiler room, S6xSQ; a turbine room. 53x91: and an electrical bay, 2ox91 feet, the max inum height of the building being 95 feet. Under the boilers and turbines on the ground floor is located the auxiliary apparatus. In the eIectri- cal bay on the ground level are To- cated the 11,000 and B 900 volt raising transformers, the house service trans formers and oil circuit breakers and a lavatory. Above. this on the tur- bine room level is the 11,0n0 volt con- crete bus structure. On tHe same lev el is the office of the chief engineer, while above and overlooking the tur- bine room is the operating gallery and the office of the superintendent of power. Above this is.the top gallerytin which is located the< 8. 900 volt bus and switching equipment. From the 5SOO0 volt gallery the IeederS pass through roof bushings to a steel struc- ture on the roof from which the feed CTS are run to steel towers in the yard.
 The boiler equipment of the plant consists of four water tube boilers, set singly in two rows with firing aisle between, and designed to operate at a maximum steam pressure of 276 pounds per square inch gauge. Each unit has S.S04- square feet of heating

 Is Advice of Norwich Business
 Man at Opening of The New Year.
 Build for bigger Norwich is
 the advice of a we'll known busi-
 ness man of the city at the besin- hing of this New Year.
 He puts it this way; The gates \ of Norwich are wide open today for
 all kinds of manufacturing plants.
 Many new ones are starting and
 many more would if they could get suitable places. See what has
 happened in few weeks in new in E dustries here-a new hat factory,
 new toy factory, new corset shop, new chemical concern, one or two pants factories, and a new hand , soap company. It takes very little I encouragement to get these new concerns here for they recognize the advantage of our location as an industrial center.
 There is great need of an indus trial building, but there is greater need today of something else be-
 fore we get that; and that is TENEMENTS. There are not a dozen empty tenerents in Norwich
 today. Suppose the Marlin Rock well Co., should start their plant (and as they refuse to rent it in whole or part, they must conten- plate doing so some time) where
 under the sun will the help live? We must meet this situation and it must be done at once, and it must be done by you, not your neishbor. but you. And that means men and women of all nationaIities should do their part. Invest your money at home and you will get as good returns and better than abroad; besides you show your loyalty to your city. Necessity stares you in the face; don't shirk it for if you do you discourage your neigh por..
 Don't ask cur Chamber of Com
 nerce to do it alone. if you do that, you are doing it to let your self out of doing your part. It is just as necessary for those out of that. organization to do something as for those in it. We must all take a hand. If you were asked tHiS H1SShiol' OlO you ever DuDo single house. or chance one over to two or more apartments, what would your answer be? How many could hold up their hands? The cost, it Is true, is severe on ac- count of labor and material, but re1+s have advanced to meet it. The best, cheapest and quickest WaV to increase our tenenents is in the hands of those already own ing houses. They have the Ioca- tions ard by building additions on the rear of these properties they could be changed into eight. six, many into fodr, and nearly all into two apartment houses Two double houses on Union street have been changed lately into seven apartments and the owner doing it is wei! satisfied with the results. The Osqood on Church street was chanoed from two into seven apartments by building on the rear. These are examples of what can be done in many places in Norwich. Take a trip through other cities anc: what do you see? Double deckers. triple deekers, four tene- ments. six, eioht and twelve, and best of all blocks that will accom-. modate many families.
 We need them all. Form cor porstions and build blocks or apartments. The banks will help you # necessary and in few wears these properties will pay for tHe-- selves. L~+ us make Norwich 500o0 before 1921.

Prospects are now bright for a con- tinuation of building on a big scale during 1920. as there is still a scarcity Of dwelling houses, for as a rule, be- fore a cellar is completed applications have been made fer rentals. With this demand there is sure to be a continu- alton of building, especially as there Is willingness to pay the rents that are required in order to make building or this class a paying investment
 The building inspector says that there Is considerable more building Tn prospect and he believes that New London will show q good record in the building line in 1920. He mentioned as starter the proposed Methodist church edifice that will cost from s15o,000 to $2o0,0o0. No application has been received for a permit to build this church, but the site is pur- chSsedL the plans and specifications completed and it is believed the work will be commenced in the early spring.
 James G. Hammond, secretary of the New London Chamber of Com merce, declared there are sure to be more industrial plants erected in the city In 1920, as he is confident that more industries are to locate in New London. Seven new industries have come to New London in 1919 and the hustling secretary is confident that there will be fully that number added in 1920. N'7
