FAVOR APPROPRIATION FOR SECOND TURBINE GENERATOR. Gas and Electric Commissioners Show the Need of Bettering Equipment in Face of Growing Business—Will Cost $37,000. The board of gas and electrical com- missioners petitioned the common council for an appropriation of about $37,000 from the depreciation fund for the purchase and installation of a new turbine generator at the electric plagit. The matter came before the executive committee Monday evening, at which time it was thoroughly discussed with Superintendent Bogue and two mem- Dbers of the commission showing the need, after which the appropriation was sanctioned. It will be reported to the council next Monday. It is desired to install a 2,000 kilowatt unit to take care of future business. There are several prospects for large power users, and also to insure the failure of assistance from the Uncas Power company. If the Uncas Power company should be unable to give help such as being received now, the station is not properiy equipped now to carry the day load, because the business has increased so much in the past year and the prospects for further increase are as great. Business demands the addi- tion, which will cost about $37,000, to come from the depreciation fund which is on hand and will mean no extra tax. The money is now in the hands of the city treasurer. The commissioners will contract for the generator very soon, but it will have to be made, and it will probably be six to eight months before it wili be installed. It will be three times the size of the one now in operation at the station. The commissioners in their state- ment referred to the fact that business is increasing very rapidly and in order to be prepared for the future they must provide in advance. They pointed out that the city will probably secure much additional business from the Thermos Bottle compal wher: located here, and they felt that it is practically assured that it will be. They will operate their factory by electricity and. there will also have to be some extensions to provide them with the gas they will reguire. Commissioner Story was un- able to be present because of another engagement, but it was said he &p- proved of the entire plan. There was brief discussion regarding the plans for the widening of Little Water street but nothing was done, al- though the matter will probably come up at the council meeting next week on the matter of establishing a grade for the southerly side of that street and the westerly side street. of Shetucket WILLIAM D.
