HAY MADE SHORT CIRCUIT
When 1t Landed on a High Voltage
Wire in Berlin.

Power company officials blame q
wisp of hay for putting their system
out of business this morning, and ths
explanation is made in the following
way; About l;05 this morning an in
terruption occurred on $4,000 volt
line. which transmits about 5000 kilo
watts into Barre and about 500 kilo
watts into Montpelier.
On learning the difficulty the load
dispatcher at the Pioneer station imme'
diately communicated this trouble to
the superintendent, who had men test
ing on this line at 2:05 a. IN. The trou.
BILE was finally located on the Libby
farm. between West Berlin and North
field, where it was found that one wire
was burned off and two sets of insu-
lators were broken, causing short
circuit on the line
1t seems that Mr. Libby was haying
yesterday afternoonsdirectly under this
line, when a smallsized cyclone blew
some hay up on the line, 1t is thought
that some of the hay stayed on the
wire and became wet during the night
because of fog, causing short circuit
and the trouble as stated above. AT
5:56 this morning that line was cleared
and repaired and test made.
Mr.. Libby said that he did not think
the insulators or wires were damaged,
so he did not report the incident to
the company.
When that trouble was repaired it
was found there still was difficulty
with the line. This later trouble was
located. on the Wesley Child farm in
Middlesex, where it was found two
sets of insulators were shattered This
trouble was remedied and the line was
placed in operation at $40 o'clock a.
m
This line being out Of service made
il necessary to shut down part of the
load in Barre. The company feels that
the cause of this interruption was be-
yond its control and did everything
possible to get the line back into serv-
ice.
