The ,building of this station and of a general radio system for the interjor of China is to be car- ried oyt by an American concern, the Federal Telegraph Company, under agreements lately concluded at Wash- ington between the United States and i According to plans announced in Shanghai; the station to be erected here will have six towers, each 1,006 feet in height."and will have me- chanical equipment’ equal in power to the great radio station at Bordeau: France.
