Montville Station
 Benefits Waterbury
2S,OOO Additional KIOwats of Electric Power Avail.
 able Beginning Tomorrow Modern Equipment

Beginning tomorrow Waterbury and surrounding territory will have 25,000 addition kilowatts of elec- trio power producing capacity ct their call to take care of their elec- trical growth and to further assure an uninterrupted supply when at that time, the Connecticut Light |, and Power Company places In regu- lar service an electric generating unit or the capacity stated follow. ing recent installation in the com pany's Montville Generating Station shown above.
 Situated on the Thames river not far from the states eastern bound- ary and overlooking the famous course where Harvard and Yale row annually their boating classic, Montvllle Station has at hand an abundance of water for cooling the steam after 1t has done It's work and has excellent tide water facili- ties for receiving the coal that IS brought in by ocean steamer from Virginia mines.
 Two Years Work
 Almost two years were spent m making In various factories the many pieces of machinery that conn prise tho unit and ii1 installing them what Is really complete and inde- in the Montvillc Station to form pendent power plant. Addition of the new unit raises the electric pros ducing capacity of Montville Sta ton to b6000 kilowatts. A feature of the unit are the two boilers, the size of A six-story business building Other features are a steam turbine that develops sufficient horsepower to- drive ten Diesel-powered high speed trains acl oss the county, on

electric generator capable of sup- plying 10000 homes, and trans. formers that step the electric pres- sure up to 10000 volts, in order to transmit the electricity the required distance.
 The boilers make steam at 6SC pounds pressure compared with the 275 pounds pressure of conven- tional boilers. Heat is added to the steam after 1t has been made until It's temperature is brought up to e25 degrees Faharenheit, a temper" ature so hot that the steam pipes glow @ dull cherry red. The intense heat in the furnaces under the boilers is produced by reducing tho coal to powder and mixing 1t with pre-heated air before burning.
 Highly technical equipment like boilers and turbines and the intri- cate equipment that goes with them cannot be built in @ day; many, many months must elapse after the order Is placed before the installa- ton can Do counted on to generstc eleCbTlCiJys E1GliCSp pVWSE SChAP""- les continually look Into the future and provide additional power pro- ducing capasity well In advance of the time when 1t is needed. There has always been plenty of power for Waterbury's needs but the Connec- ticut Light and Power Company anticipates Waterbury's growth with an ample power capacity reserve.
 Capacity Increased
 This %, ,000-kilowatt addition Is the second that the company has made to It's electric producing capac. ity during the last eighteen months. The generating unit installed at Stevenson Station on the Housatonic river In August of last year together with this unit have increased the power capacity of the Connecticut Light and Power. system by l7 per cent within the last eighteen months and raised 1t to just under 100000 kilowatts of installed capacity.

News Camcraman Comes
Near Losing Life As
Earth Gives Way

Buhl. Idaho, Aug. ll.-(U.R)-
The bottom dropped out of farm
mer H. A. RobertSonS lS0-acre
farm today
More than 20 acres have sunk,
presumably into huge prehistoric
volcanic bubble, within the last
fortnight. and tonight the ramb-
ling farmhouse itself was threat
ened.
The former hilly surface Of the
farm. seven miles west of here,
had collapsed into a 200foot can
yon, accompanied by tremendous
detonations and squirting clouds
of yellow volcanic dust.
The first crack appeared two
weeks ago, and five acres rapidly
sank. the sides crumbling away as
great slabs of soil disappeared into
the creviCcS.
The latest crack. which opened
early today and spread rapidly,
was within 400 yards of the Rob-
ertsOn home.
Robertson refused to move, how
ever, insisting there was no
danger"
I'm going to stick around and
see what happens he said. The
newest crack is pretty near our
house but 1 don't think it will
spread"
GeologiStS who are studying the
phenomenon explained the region
was volcanic, and honeyCombed
with caverns formed by giant gas
bubbles that closed over during
an ancient eruption.
The bubbles were so deep the
top crust of earth did not settle.
AS erosion of rains washed off the
surface, the crust became thinner
and the danger of collapse in
creased.
A news cameraman nearly lost
his life trying to photograph one
of the immense cracks which have
opened on the surface of the
farm. He leaned over to take a
picture and the wall suddenly
Started to crumble. The photo
grapher leaped to safely as the
side gave way roaring down into
the dark hole in the earth's crust.
The hill upon which the farm
lay, in the Salmon River Canyon,
is being transformed into valley
about a half-mile long.
