Now that the automatic 5000 horse
power development at Searsburg is fin
ished many comprising the Power Con-
struction Co. personnel of the field forces
stationed at Wilmington are being trans
ferred to Davis Bridge.
With the addition of each new power
plant on the Deerfield river the value of
Somerset storage (and later the Davis
Bridge storage) is enhanced. The Som
erset storage is at present considered as
equivalent to 20000,000 kilowatt hours
a year on plants Nos. ,. 3, 4, ) and Z
The Searsburg plant increases this by
about 100000 kilowatt hours.
Final figures of the value of the Davis
Bridge storage and plant are dependent
on the location anuSf size OF the power
house to be erected in connection with the
dam.
1t is undecided as yet where the power
house will be located. 1t is possible that
instead of having the power house at the
dam and utilizing a 1.600-foot tunnel
the power may be located near Sherman,
in the town of Nottingham. and the
water carried through a tunnel four miles
in length Instead of having head of
200 feet ut the dam, this would give
head of approximately 500 feet with
vastly increased power possibilities. The
value of Davis Bridge storage will be
equivalent to about 100000 900 kilowatt
hours with the plant at the dam or
13S,0O0.O00 kilowatt hours with. the plant
located near Sherman
With the trying up of the roads it is
probable that many Brattleboro people
will drive to Davis Bridge to visit what
is doubtless the largest construction
project going on in the country this year.

the output of the present plants by about

double the low water capacity of the
lower Deerfield river plants. In addition.

duce about 100000 kilowatt hours a

the plant is placed at point near Sher-
man or Readsboro. it viii produce about
S6O00.G00 kilOwatt hours In addition
to the aforementioned direct gains. con-
siderable benefit to hydrO-power genera
ton will result. due to the shorter time
required for storage water to reach the
lower Deerteld plants. There also viii
be less evaporation of water. Ice and
food troubles at these plants should be
considerably reduced because of the fact
that the run-off from Isl square miles
of drainage area will be almost COM
pletely controlled as against that of 30
square miles out of 400 as at present.
Capital will be raised through the sell
ing of securities offered to investors by
Baker Young & Co.. fiscal agents of the
New England Co. power system. The
authority for issuing additional securities
was secured from the public utility com
mission of Massachusetts prior to the
war. when the project was being cOnsid-
cred. The necessary money to finance
this huge development viii be raised by
the sale of the following securities:
$1.500.0 900 New England Co. 6 per cent
first preferred stock plus L II per cent
dividend rights.
81 100000 New England Co. 6 per cent
30-year secured convertible bonds.
81 100000 New England Co. common
stock
Later the New England Power Co. will
sell S4000,000 of its first mortgage per
cent bonds.
The common stock is being offered to
old common stock holders at the ratio
of one new share of common stock for
every five shares now owned by stock
holders. The fact that old stockholders
are quick to take advantage of their right
to subscribe shows how we'll considered
are the securities of this hydro-electric
system.

and returned to bed. He was awak-
ened by an explosion, and at the same
time flames shot thru the door from
the car used as a kitchen to the one
in which he was sleeping. He be-
lieves that Mrs. Meyer poured coal oil
on the fire. Meyer seized his-daugh-
ter liza, and carried her to safety, then
