The Supervision Of The
University y Of Della
ware.

Down on the sandy shores of the
Delaware Bay near the historic
town of Lewes, the University oi
Delaware, through a special state
appropriation, has erected a small
but efficient laboratory for marine
studies.
Delaware's representatives on
the Middle. Atlantic States Fisheries
Commission were instrumental in
securing the funds for marine
study in the state and an advisory
council appointed by the governor
and the Delaware commissioners
was responsible for the creation OF
the University of Delaware Marine
Laboratory which was established
in 1851.
Although research began imme-
diately, the construction of a per-
manent laboratory building was
not undertaken until the fall of 1854
and certain features of the struc-
ture will not be completed until
next year.
Such minor handicaps did not
hinder the efforts of a summer
staff under the direction of Della
wares marine biologist, Dr. Carl
n. Shuster, Jr. This productive
group composed of seven students,
four research scientists, a secre-
tary, boat captain, and resident
manager pursued their problems in

ID Ella are Power And
Light Company Reveals
Plans For $17,0OO,O0O
Structure On Indian
River.

We are proud to announce that
we are ready to proceed with the
actual construction of a large new
generating station on the Indian
River between Millsboro and Days
boro, Delaware" said George M.
Nelson, vice president of Delaware
Power and Light Company early
this week.
preliminary work has involved
5 years of planning, searching for
the right spot and study on the
part of our engineers. Ntsw. the
time is at hand when this will be
translated into action for. all to see
and eventually benefit from.
The electric company has pur-
chased 470-acre tract upon which
it will install initialiy a generating
unit Of $4,000 XIV capacity, with
space provided for five additional
such units, when needed.
From this location, where today
we find only wide open spaces sur
rounded by tide water, will come
kilowatts-thousands of kilowatts
Ito keep Delmarya industries
humming and provide the energy
for electric living.
1T is highly satisfying" con-
tinued Mr.. Nelson, ITO find that the
growth and development of Del
marva warrant a construction Job
of the magnitude we are contem-
plating. The new steam plant is to
be a joint undertaking of Delaware
Power and Light Company. The
Eastern Shore Public Service Com
pany of Maryland and the Eastern
Shore Public Service Company OF
Virginia.
United Engineers and Construc-
tors, Inc, of Philadelphia, en-
ployed to engineer and construct
the plant, estimate it's cost in ex-
cess of IL million dollars. The
building will be modern in design,
and house offices, a store-room,
space for the turbine generator and
a 650,000 pound-per-hou boiler.
When built, this modern efficient
generating station will produce al
most as much as the seven units at
the Vienna, Maryland. Plant
The building will be 160 feet
wide and 192 feet long. The high
est part of it, housing the boiler,
will be las feet ~ the air, the
equivalent of 16-story building.
Babcock and Wilcox Company
has the contract to design and
build the boiler. Westinghouse
Electric Manufacturing Company
has been commissioned to design
and build the turbine generator.
Specifications call for the most
efficient unit of its size ever built.
Its large rotating element. for in
stance, weighing several hundreds
tons, spins $500 revolutions per

Telephone Rates
Have Won Approval
Present Tariffs Okayed By Public
Service Commission

The Delaware Public Service
Commission last Friday approved
the present rates of the Diamond
State Telephone Company.
The approval ends more than
two years of argument that started
in June of 1853 when the company
applied for higher rates.
The reason for approving the
rates, the commission said. was its
finding that the company's earn
ings were mot unreasonably high" :"
In 1858 the PSC granted about
one-third of the rate increase asked
by the company. Diamond State ap-
pealed this decision TO the Superior
Court, which SET the rates now in
effect
The PSC then appealed to the
Supreme Court. which ruled that
Superior Court should not have set
the rates. But, ii said PSC should
have given more weight TO some
elements in the company's petition
in the original hearing.
On the basis of this, the company
moved to continue the present
rates.
