The contract was signed at spe-
cial meeting in City Council cham

sistant secretary OF the utility,
signed for the company. The con-
tract was Witnessed by II. II. Plank
OF the Delaware Power and Light
COmpany. and Frank K. Grier of
the Milford City Council.
This tive-ycar contract TO supply
the electric energy for Milford is
subject To a renewal OF one year by
giving one years notice.
Demand Increasing
The action of City Council to
purchase current on the switch
board OF the local electric plant
was brought about by the inCreas-
ing demand for current from the
Milford generating plant.
The local plant is now nearly
taxed To the capacity of the large
generator which has been running
now for ~ years. and badly III need
OF Overhauling.
Ii at the present time the large
turbine generator should fail. the
other two small generators would
not have enough capacity to meet
the demand and the service from
the Milford plant would be great
~ curtailed.
The large generator has ca
pacitv of 1850 XIV. and the peal
load is now 1000 XIV. and has
shown an increase of per cen
yearly.
The Milford Municipal Electric
Power Plant supplies Slaughte'
Beach. Lincoln and Ellendalc lines
Lynch Heights. and Shawnee. a
we'll as other lines with current
and this complete service now de
pcnds solely ON the large turbin
continuing to function.
Big Turbine 0rrtaXed
According To survey made recent

cured by the city. the large tul
bine is now using an excess O
steam. and the cover has ncve
been lifted for internal repair
since it's installation. 1t was state
il may continue to operate unde
, present conditions for scvera
wears. but at the same time
might fail at any time. and il wa
this emergency that prompted Cit
Council To sign the contract wit
the utility concern.
1t WAS made plain to the publ
that Milford is not selling its fran
chisC to supply its customers wit
p current. but is simply purChasin
| electrical energy for Il certain PEI
f iod instead of manufacturing
and in the meantime will place II
local plant and lines in good Ope
atinG condition.
Old Plant To "Stand BY"
The local plant will then be he
as a standby in case the supp
lines fail and for this service Il
city will he paid certain year
sum by the Wilmington company
a portion, if not all of the pc
sonncl at the Milford plant will
retained to assist i'll repair of Il
plant and city lines.
1t is stated that the price
Il which Milford will purchase Gu
rent from the Delaware Power al
, Light company. according to t
contract. is a cheaper figure thi
at which it can now be produced
with the present machinery at t
