 Interest in what has been generally re-
 garded as a permanently abandoned pro-
 ject was revived Tuesday, when it was
 annopnceG that J. Eugene Cschrane of
 Boston and Dedham has declared his in
 tention to resume within a year plans for , the development of big hYdro-electric
 plant at site on the Quinehaug river near Cettons bridge, just across the riv-
 CT from Killingly, in the town of Pom
 fret The Pomfret Power company has a
 charter from the general assembly of Connecticut to develop such a power plant at the site mentioned. This char ter was originally granted June g, 1909, to the~ Cochrane Power company and in 1911 transferred to the Pomfret Power company.
 Under this charter the company Is given various rights and privileges, in- cluding the right of condemnation of land l for the purpose of running poles for a l transmission line.
 l Mir Cochrane was quoted on Tuesday as stating that with the assistance and l encourageme ofSthe government (feder- aD in developing this water power it l may be possible to drown out some of Ethose who own property along the banks 1 of the river above the power plant anu who by their attitude ink regard to ar 1 irving at any understanding as to flow 1 age-rights practically killed the project l when it was first launched nearly a de-
 eade ago.
 1 It has been estimated by engineers l that such plant as it is planned to install would develop a minimum of l. | 000 horsepower at any time during the | year and that the average power from
 the plant would be 1899 horsepower
 I The MT. Cochrane who is back of the
 project is former owner of the plant
 that was known for years as the Daniel
 son Cotton company, the mill, on Main
 street, DanieIson, now owned by the Con
 neeticut Mills Company.
 At the time the development of the water power above Cotton's bridge was undertaken it was intended to transmit electrical power there to Danielson for the operation of the machinery of the mill mentioned. Various obstacles
 were encountered. Those of a legislative nature were finally overcome. although against considerable opposition. but the l matter of 70wage rights never could be satisfactorily settled. so the whole scheme fell into abeyance
 Just what MT. Cochrane means by gov. ernNent assistance and encouragement he speaks of is not known here, but it 1: s iNtaken as being of sufficient importance tt I warrant resumption of work with full E | fledged hope that all obstacles of an un S reasonable nature. that may be placed 1T the way of the woSk can be overcome There yiH be more than passing inter est in Danielson in Edward Rochie liar 3 dy, If, the twelve year old prodigy wh, 3 has just matricuIated at Columbia uni E versity as the youngest of it's more thal E i 20.q00 students.
