HYDRO ELECTRIC.
PLANT At Fl. GRANT
is MOST UNIQUE ONE

What is to be one of the most
efficient hydro electric power plants
in the state is being constructed at
the state industrial school at Fort
Grant, according to Bert Wingar,
secretary to the board of directors
of state institutions, who has just
returned from an inspection trip 10
toe school
One unit of this plant was in
stalled about eight months ago and
the second unit will be in operation
before the end of the present month.
The total cost of the plant will be
only about $4,000, it is stated.
Two springs in the mountains
about three miles from the school
which run all the year around fur
nish the water to operate the plant.
A six-inch steel pipe, laid many
years ago by the government to fur
nish water to the garrison at Fort
Grant, br ngs the water from one
spring a distance of nearly mile to
a small reservoir. and a concrete
ditch is used to carry the water of
the other spring to the reservoir.
From this point two four-inch steel
pipes have been installed by the
state to carry the water to the elec-
trio plant.
The house for the plant is built
on the side of large swimming hole,
100 feet long by so feet wide. The
water, after being used to operate
the plant pours into the swimming
pool and from there is let out each
day into the irrigation bitches for
the school farm, the pool filling again
during the night. On account of
drop of about 1000 feet from the
reservoir to the plant, a great deal
of power is developed
At present the AUXILIARY plant is
being operated which consists of a
2la horse power generator. This
small pls.nt furnishes electric power
for the operation of all lathes and
machinery about the school in addi-
tion to lighting the buildings and the
grounds at night. The second unit
or main plant which is now being
installed consists of a 7is horse
power dynamo. When this unit is
in operation. the small plant will be
used as an auxillary in case of
emergency. Sufficient electric power
will be developed TO take care of all
of the needs of the school.
The crops at the school, Mr.. VIM
gar says, are in first class shape.
The school has about so acres of
exceptionally fine corn growing and
an excellent garden. The cattle and
the hogs at the school are in first
class condition and the feed is COM
ing on in good shape.
There are 80 boys in the school at
present and 81 girls. The morale of
the school is Very good. Mr.. Wingar
said, and very little trouble has been
experienced with the inmates of the
school for some time.
