Curtailment Of Electric Power.

At the, hydro-electric plant of The

feet of water is now available. Under
normal conditions the plant is oper-
ated at head of 81 feet and up
ward of Is, 900 horse power. lester
day this plant was struggling along
with a production of 1000 horse pow
er. The company's steam plant at
Fifteenth street is in full operation
and additional power is being gener-
ated at its water plant on the canal,
although the water supply at this
plant has been greatly curtailed; But
these additions do not nearly make
up for the. shortage caused by low
water in the Savannah river.
The power situation therefore, is
going ito be more or less critical as
long as the present condition lasts,
for numbers of local industries which
are large users of power In Horse
Greek Valley some Of, the cotton mills
are running at partial capacity and
others are using their steam plants.

that the Shortage had so far not in
terfered With city lighting or the
smaller users within the city or the
operation Of the street cars. The
power company is cooperating with
industries having untitled orders un-
der contract or material now passing
through the mills in process of manu-
facture, in order that these concerns
may get through without suffering
loss.
At the office of the Weather Bu-
reau, Mr.. Emigh. was not optimistic
about the outlook. He said that rains
were about due in this section. He
said they would be local in character,
however, and that there was no in
