Theturbine room now nearing completion covers one-third of the areafor which the entire turbine house is designed, and provides roomfor four of the 5,000-kw turbine units. Present plans, however, callfor the installation of only two of these turbine generators.

Follow-ing the present equipment of the turbine room the boiler house hasbeen constructed so as to allow the erection of two rows of boilers,sixteen in all, connected with a single chimney. These equipments give the new turbine plant a generating capacityof 10,000 kw, and a little more than double the capacity of the LStreet station. At this point it is interesting to note the rise ingenerating capacity of the Boston Edison system. The first stationof this system was a rented building located between Bumstead Courtand Head Place, and contained at the start a Babcock & Wilcoxboiler rated at 200 hp. one 90-hp Armington & Sims engine and two f 1886 tsss.
