Reinforcement
Of Power Supply
Scheduled Here
Improvements Of $4,000
Made To Power Lines; To
Cut Over October II

Electric service to customers in
the Oakland area served by the
West Maryland Power Company
will be improved through the rein
forcement of the overall power
supply set for completion here
next week at a cost of approx
mately $4,000.
District Manager J. T. Cain said
actual connection of the new
facilities is planned for 2:3O p. m.
D. S. T. next Thursday, October II.
This work will require about two
hours to complete under normal
conditions, he explained.
The job entails the energizing of
new $4,000 substation, located
about enc mile south of Oakland
on Third street with an 11-mile
transmission line recently con-
structed from Terra Alta.
Technically, the project required
the conversion Of the present IL
XIV feeder line serving this area
to &c XIV and the construction of a
$500 KVA substation with its
necessary terminal facilities.
A $78,815 price tag has been
placed on the entire project by the
parent Monongahela Power COM
pany.
The work will provide a great
er continuity of service to the en-
tire mountain-top area of Preston
and Garrett counties including the
communities of Deer Park, Swan
ton, Mountain Lake Park, Deep
Creek Lake, Aurora, Hopemont,
and Terra Alta.
The heavier 66 XIV line, with its
protective overhead ground wire,
IS expected to be less vulnerable
to damage from electrical and wind
storms.
1t was explained that the
changes were necessitated by the
general economic development of
the area with resultant increased
power demands.
These include the some ID new
homes on the planning boards or
under construction in Oakland
alone, expansion of conservation
facilities in the Deep Creek area.
general commercial growth due
largely to a successful tourist pro-
motion program, as well as the
opening of the Sterling Processing
Plant.

Steady Downpour
Breaks Drought

A dOwnpour of approximately
two and one-half inches of rain on
Sunday and Monday brought a halt
to drought conditions in Garrett
county, but Oakland was still suf-
fering from a water shortage.
Ralph Weber, veteran weather
man, in listing The rainfall, said
that it would take several days for
the water to seep into the under
ground streams, but that it should
get there before too long. The
water supply hit its lowest point
Tuesday when number of citizens
were entirely without it, but con-
ditions improved throughout the
night and the pressure had i'm
proved by midday Wednesday,
Skies partially cleared on Tues
day and continued clear on We'd
nesday following heavy fog over
the area early that day.
The city has maintained a fire
reserve in one of the towns two
reservoirs to a depth of eleven
feet, but there has been no occa-
sion to use it up to the present
time.
Doing All 1t Can
Dr. E. l. Baumgartner, president
of the town council, said the town
was doing everything in its power
to remedy the situation. They were
pumping water into the mains from
the Sterling Processing company
well and also the Carnation com
pany well.
The new well at the golf course,
west of town, has been completed
and a good supply of water OBJ
tanned and this is expected to be
piped into the lines i'll the near
future.
Looking toward a long range pro-
gram, the council already has had
a meeting with William w Mace,
district soil conservationist. The
government agency will furnish
engineering service and there have
been plans to make an impound-
ment on Bradley Run and also
Miller's Run, which could eventual
ly furnish the town with enough
of a supply that there would be no
shortages in the future. Miller's
Run is approximately the same
level as Bradley Run.
