Attired in their native clothes, rich in

their long stemmed pipes, blinking

Chinese make good resolutions and
also carry them out. One unfailing

The Central plant at Granite
square is now connected with the
Gorham, N. H., plant by u new
high tension line recently cOmplet-
ed, and the receiving end is com
| posted Of three 500 kilowatt trans
formers, each so constructed that
should one refuse to function, the
other two could carry the extra
load and still keep the service in
tact. These are protected by four
oxide film lightning arresters.
The total length Of the new line
is So miles, is capable of carrying
$4,000 volts, and should all 5 of the
local plants go out of commission,
the plant at Gorham, on the COM
pletion of some present repairs,
would be capable of supplying all
the local district. This line was
erected for Just that purpose, so
that in the event of either one of
the systems going wrong the other
would furnish the necessary power
until the repairs We're made. The
extension was also necessary as
the company had outg1own their
present generating capacity, the
business having multiplied approx
imately three times in the past
nine years.
The plant at Gorham is in turn
connected with the Brown Com
pany at Berlin and should both the
Gorham and st. Johnsbury plant
refuse to function this plant has
sufficient capacity to supply them
without disturbing its own bust
ness.
The central station is connected
by a private telephone with the
Gorham station which is used
four times a day to ascertain that
everything is working smoothly at
both stations. 1t is also con-
nccted with Lyndonville by high
tensoin power wires and private
telephone and should necessity de-
mand that station could be called
into service to aid in an emer-
gency. The combined plants have
capacity with reasonable water
