thus. “I“ onginoormg difficulties

snginosrs worked over plsns (or a.

but such 3 plant would of necessity b.
of moderate size. would be very ox.
trsvsgsnt in its cool consumption as
{compared to a. large plsnt and would
cost much more per horse power or
plsnt installed.
Mr. Putnam explained that. if a.
plant of this kind were built. there
would be an added cost for power,
which would be u burden which the
users of power would have to bear for
all time. so this scheme was then
given up. The engineers seemed to be
up against a blank wall but. just at
this critical moment. the company de-
cided to go forward with plans for its
big Devon steam plant and its trans-
mission‘llnes.
The answer to the problem was im-
mediately manifest. Norwallc should
be connected to this immense system.
of generating plants and transmission
lines and. 'uccordingly, work was im-
mediately started sud has been in
progress for levers! months.
Mr. Putnam ststed that the com-
pony has cuntully estudicd Norwalk
conditions and is just us enthusiastic
as sny booster over the prospects for "
Norwnlk's future growth. The com—
psny has fully realized that News]!
needs and must bnvs reliable electric
power supply and one which can bo
drown upon in practically unlimited
quantities. The hesitation of the inst
two years has not been due to any
Jack or willingness but to the fact that
the answer to the problem could not
be found.
m Months More.
When it was found. however. the
company went sliced and already baa
sever-oi months' work behind it and.
perhaps. ten months of work ahead
oz it. bola-o thoblg and “preaching
projsct is completed.
An interesting point is brought out
by Mr. Putnam and one which proba-
bly tow people opprocicte, is that
tbers ore only three localities in tho
out. suitsblo tor the erection ot largo
punts of this kind. Ono is on tho
lower Hounto‘nio River. ono'slong tbs
