OUR LOCAL. PUMPING STATION
STARTED FIFTY YEARS AGO

How many of us, when we turn
on the electric current in our home,
to illuminate a room or to start
some motor, think what is back of
all this to produce the energy. An
other time i'm answer to our ques-
tion comes "steam!" This steam by
the means of pipes is led from the
huge boilers to turbines where the
steam is played on a wheel con-
structed of many vanes, with such
force that the wheel is revolved
very rapidly. This wheel is con-
neeted by means of a shaft to dyna-
mos, which when turned rapidly
enough produce electrical energy.
This energy is conveyed to our
homes and to neighbOring towns by
large copper wires.
We have our own plant here in
Milford, which was established by
the Johnson Brothers, in 1897, and
started with a single turbine, pro-
ducing a 300 kilOwatt alternating
current which changed to a direct
current plant in 1908. About 10
years ago the plant was reconstruct
ed and remodelel, and an additional
turbine producing 500 kilowatts was
installed, making total of 800 kill

THE GAME IS GONE BUT
THE PAIN LINGERS ON!
Grammar School Teachers Win Over High School

On Wednesday evening, January
II. one of the most talked about and
yet most poorly attended game of
the season took place. Place, the
new high school; time, eight o.
clock; contestants, grade teachers
VS.. high school teachers; referee,
Mrs. Frank Grier; score 1924; re-
suits, an unprecedented sale of Abb
sOrbine, Jr. at the local drug stores.
The visiting team captained by
Mrs. Rogers made quite a snappy
appearance when they appeared on
the floor in their blue and white uni
forms topped by white berets. The
more staid high school team took
second place in the matter of ap-
pearance but claimed the honors for
of costume by virtue of

who literally flashed

owatts. Last year there were used
22,999,000 kilOwatts.
Our water supply comes from this
same plant, which acts also as a
pumping station for the town. The
pumping station was started by the
Johnson Brothers, in 1881, and the
water supply was obtained from
deep artesian wells, which often
OverhOwed. The town has grown
so, recently, that these wells have
been made much deeper. There are
three of these wells, of which two
are operated by air, and one by a
deep-well pump. The water is first
pumped to a reservoir where it is
chlOrinated, a recent addition, and
then to the standpipe.
Mr.. w. r. Banning has been SUI
perintendent for the past 35 years,
and has brought the $4,000 plant of
12 years ago to over a $5OO,OOO plant
now.
