ELECTRIC GENERATING
STATIONS NAMED

Kenneth c. Long, president of
the Dayton Power and Light
company, has announced the chan
ging of the name of the present
electric generating station from
the Millers Ford station to the
Frank M. TAFT station; also the
new electric generating station
now under construction just south
of Miamisburg, will be called the
| o. H. Hutchings station, lasting
the pioneering and development
tribute to the two men who have
spent their working lifetime in
of the electric system which is
now the Dayton Power and Light
serve the territory covered byitS
network.
This honor bestowed upon
Frank M. TAFT, chairman of the
Board, and o. H. Hutchings, vice
president of the company, is a
fitting tribute in recognition of
! the long and faithful service rem
dered by these two men, to the
company and to the community
Their enthusiastic optimism and
faith in the industry and in the
territory served by the company,
have resulted in the generating
capacity being installed always
well in advance of the increasing
demand for service. This is wide
ly recognized as being very large
ly responsible for the Industrial
growth of Dayton and the sur
rounding territory which in turn
brought about the increased eX-
pansion in population throughout
this area.
Mr.. TAFT first came to Dayton
in January, 1905, at which time
he organized the Dayton Lighting
company and in turn purchased
the Dayton Electric Light COM
pany. The Dayton Power and
Light company came into being
in 1911. Working tirelessly in the
interest of the company and the
community, Mr.. TAFT has contri-
buted materially to the growth
and expansion of both.
Mr.. Long stated that, "out of
the deep respect for the man who
has had such an active part in
the development of the electric
industry it has been decided to
change the name from the Mil
lers Ford station to the Frank M.
TAFT station"
The original Millers Ford plant
was placed in operation in March,
1918, and was SO called because
it was built near the site of the
old ford in the Miami river at
that point, which was known as
Millers ford to the citizens of
Dayton.
When Mr.. TAFT first came to
Dayton, Mr.. HutchingS was al
ready associated with the Dayton
Lighting company. He has serv-
ed the company with faith and
integrity for over so years, and
has been vice president for 26
years. He has seen the company
grow under his direction, from
a few hundred to more than a
quarter of a million customers.
MIR. Long states that, because of
Mr.. Hutchings unquestionable
loyalty and definite contributions
to the growth and expansion of
the company, it is therefore fit
ing and proper that the new pow
er plant now under construction
on the Miami river, just south of
Miamisburg, be called the o. H.
Hutchings station"
