The auxiliary apparatus in the power house includes k\v. motor-generator set, an air compressor, storage bat-tery, sump pump and other necessary equipment. Transmission Line Four lines on two sets of steel tov and liuilt alona. Showing general plan of development |)rivate right-of-way owned by the Department, run betweenthe power house and the city. On one line the towers are spaced 600 feet and consistof alternate braced and flexible towers. The conductors arearranged on a six foot equilateral triangle, four conductorsbeing on one iilane and the other two conductors verticallyabove. The other line ol towers, which is spaced an 400
