The plans for the new KEA generating plant. the power be- hind the new distribution sys- sem, have been dIsapproved by the REA in Washington and the local board, at 8 special meeting Thursday evening, vot-s ed to wire the capital to request reconsideration of the plans and their approval. This information was forth. coming from a spokesman for the local board, but from a relj- able source, the MIRROR learn ed that the apparent reason for the disapproval of the D ans was that they were too costly for tap amount of the REA loan, which ] is $31O,00O.
 The MIRROR further learned that the board voted to ask the REA for an additional loan of $10O,O00 so that the present plans can be approved and ae cepted.
 The boards spokesman enp. phasized that "the pictu e is not black at all, and that we are de- ing all we can to get the gene ating plant in operation befo'e thls winter"
 Alter plans are approved. bids must be offered, and orened, and orders put in for generating equipment before actual work can be done.
 If the generating system IS not in operation this winter, the swing over to the new distribu- tion system fpoles and wires( will be effected anyway. and 2 saving of 20 percent on power IS expected from it.
 Meanwhile the IKEA has is. sued a notice, printed elsewhere in the MIRROR, stating that no more heavy electrical equip ment will be hooked up before the new generating plant is ,n use.
 The board held a special meeting Thursday evemng to discuss the problems resulting from Washington's disapproval of the plans previously okayed by the local board and Herbert Bryan. Alaskan REA represent atlve s.. ...s.sa |,
 A wire from Victor Rivers of Anchorage, engineer for the pro- ject. and subsequent letter from him informed the board of the REA disapproval.
 The REA disapproyal, the KEA board told the MIRROR, is on "certaIn features" of the generating plant.
