RAGING CHANGES
Important Items In Harness Rules to be Considered at Meeting of Grand Circuit.

Important changes in the rules governing harness racing will be considered at the meeting of Grand Circuit stewards to be held at Lex ington. ky, in January.
 One is proposed rule that would classify horses on the basis of their winnings, instead of by time records, system long in vogue.
 Some members consider 1t likely that Detroit and Grand Rapids will return to the circuit next year, in which event the big league of har- ness racing will be restored to its former scope. Cleveland. Toledo, Syracuse, Kalamazoo. Mich. Indian apolis and Lexington are the other members that are practically as- sured.

This rounds out the New Britain backfeld into almost championship class. With the addition of Ducon. New Britain has practically the same backfeld as it had last year. The only exception is the quarterback position where Vic Radzewich played last year.
New Britain herald., 1926-11-06

We have christened the player George Ducon. That almost tells the story. He Is a backfield man whose work last year was marvel. He can carry the ball, pass and is Q kicker extraordinary. In fact, he won the first game against Hartford last year with two field goals. If that last one doesn't tell who he Is. then we have to give up.

gone in up to the neck and

STEVENS COMPARES
WIH00GHE With
COSHMAH Project

On June 7th. Nj. J G. Stevens.
consulting engineer u Portland, gave
q lecture st the Bjou theatsr in which
he illnstnstea with three parallel cell
umns cf figures representing: first.
Nr. G. F uhdeB.s estimated cost of
s2,000.000 l5r 1900 hp hydro-sIee-
trie plant which hs erroneously en-
titled 10.0o0 hp hydro-eleetrie plant.
He souett to make Il appear luli-
crously small in comparison to, Sec
ond. bis own estimated cost Of ss. 300.
90 for $4,000 hp hdr0-eleetrie plant
and compared with approximately the
same cost Of tie City Of Tacoma,a
Cushman power plant with 3 generat-
ing capacity Of 5000 hp.
Everyone knows that for adjacent
power plants Of the same type Of con-
struetion with the same prices for
equipment, construction material and
wages prevailing, the cost Of two
dams are in proportion to their re-
spective quantities Of concrete, and
the cost Of two power houses are in
proportion to their respective installed
capacities Of their generating, switch
ling and transforming equipment. Also
two transmission lines cost IN proper
ton to their respective lengths. and ca
pacity Of conductors, and 50 on.
Mr.. Uhdsn had no hope Of duplica-
ting the Cushman power plant with
3d. 900 hp- generating capacity, cost
ing s5.500,O Goo for s2,0OO,00O. But q
plant Of $1,000 hp generating capacity
size more nearly suited to Aber-
deems potential market.
Mr.. Uhden did not contemplate
buying the real estate comprising q
basin of which five small tracts, cost
ing Approximately $100. 600. were but
q small part "A basin twice the size
Of the Weatherwax basin on the Wy
nooche river.
Mr.. Uhden did not expect to buy
right-of-way and power sites Tor two
separate power plants aggregating
150.00o hp on thu same river.

of-way required for twenty-six miles
Of transmission lines and not forts-six
miles.
Mr.. Uhden proposed to use . single
transmission line to transmit 1900
hp and not double transmission line
Each line capable Of transmitting sep
arately ten times as much, having
the largest transmission span in the
world. and having part Of the line
carried BY steel towers.
Mr.. Uhden intended TO build pow
er house with machinery and equip
ment for generating. switching and
Transforming $4,000 hp and not So, 1000
( Ihp.
Mr.. Uhden did not add a twenty
five mile intertie transmission line to
swell the cost. Also, in comparison
with racoma's light department, their
system had no tieline before their
market for power grew to equal their
ability to supply It.
So, in conclusion, to correspond with
these items lesser than the Cushman,
Mr.. Uhden made modest estimate for
the S2. .O00. 900 cost Of hydro-eIectric
power system for generating modest
$1,000 hp which Is quite in accord with
the slightly more dignified $500, 900
cost Of the $4,000 hp at Cushman.
