PLAN TO BUILD BIG DAM
ON THE CONNECTICUT
Boston Capitalists Revive Six Million
Project at Fifteen Mile
Ealls

st. Johnsbury, March 17.--W.th the
advent Of spring, big things are in
prospect along the Connecticut river
and once again the dream of power
development of stupendous proportions
along the Fifteen Mile Falls, which
has been contemplated for the past
10 years by north country people,
seems to be approaching realization.
Back in Januray, 1911, a syndicate
Of financiers secured control Of the
charter for such development, which
had been held for number Of years
by syndicate represented by half a
dozen Littleton men, with a guarantee
that the project should be developed
W thin a period of five years from that
date. The syndicate organized what
was then known as the Connecticut
River Transmission Co, and the com
pany secured all of the necessary
flowage rights along both the Yer
mont and New Hampshire sides OF
the river at an expense of many thou.
sands of dollars
In January 1916 1t was Thought that
operations would begin and officials
were on the ground looking over the
project, but for some reason or other
the matter fell flat and Chase and
Hartman, the fnanciers who origin
ally backed the Fifteen Mile develop
ment, surrendered the charter. The
Boston capitalists bought the charter
for $4,000.
Later the Grafton.Caledonia Power
Co. came into possession of the
rights and 1t is this organization that
is planning active work, During the
past few days several pieces of prop
erty have been bought by the com
pany C. e. Carpenter of Lttleton
acted as agent for the power company
in these deals. According to present
plans work will begin just as soon az
the frost is out of the ground this
spring
Just how extensive the work will
be at this time is not known. The
project as originally contemplated In
volved an expenditure of between iiye
and six million dollars.

met in n Of their annual contests
and the Pittsburgh lads defeated the

aforesaid w. and J.. team and adher-

their ire that they haven't been licked
since. And they're still going strong.
Unbeaten since that date, they hope
to go through the present campaign
with a clear slate. And all they have
to do to accomplish this is to lick
Pittsburgh, Detroit and West Virginia.
This isn't much more of q Job than
the kaiser picked out for himself.
