And Light Company's
Sussex Plant Is Pro
crossing Rapidly.

A boiler and turbine generator
are now on order for a second 75,-
900 XIV unit for the electric COM
panys new Indian River plant
Construction will proceed as soon
as engineering plans and blue
prints are completed. The an
nouncement was made this week
by George M. Nelson, Vice Presi
dent of Delaware Power and Light
Company.
Only nine months ago the COM
pany announced construction of
the first electric generating unit
at this location between Millsboro
and Dagsboro, Delaware.
Our customers are the compell-
ing force in this further expan-
sion," continued Mr.. Nelson. "They
have shown an overwhelming ten
dency to take advantage of cleo
trio devices for better living up to
the point where their use of cleo
trio power is 1870 over last years.
AS matter of record, demand for
power on the Delmarva Peninsula
is ahead of that of most other cas-
tern seaboard utilities.
Estimated cost of the second unit
is about 13 million dollars. The
plant and first unit are estimated
at IL million dollars. Transmission
lines to carry power from the plant
approximate million more dol
lars. Thus the total investment at
this location for equipment to gem
crate and transmit electricity will
come to about 35 million dollars
over a fOur-year period. In addi-
tion to capital outlay, it represents
genuine faith in the future of the
