The original compu- ns showing that no power station des that in Cos Cob will be need- ed are confirmed, but at the New Ha- | ven end some slight steam operation may be needed on days of exceptional | | traffic like the time of the big football | game The work of electrification is ex-| | pected to be hegun immediately and to be completed before the end of the | present year. Considerable economy of operation is looked for, as compared | with the present mixed operation un- | der electricity and steam. The matter {of the lectric extension to New Ha- | {ven has besn much simplified and ex | pedited by the fact that certain ob: }ume and vexatious problems in elec tric operation and equipment had been previcusly worked out in the electri- fying of the New Haven line beiween Stamford and New York.
