The companys generation programfor the next ten years involves an addition of 472,000kw. hydro and 60,000 kw. steam to its existing capacity,and plans are under way to convert the transmissionlines of the Big Creek System from 150,000 to 220,000volts, thereby doubling their capacity to transmit Interior of the Kerckhoff power house, San JoaquinLight & Power Corporation, showing No. 1 unit com-pleted and units Nos. 2 and 3 under way. These werecompleted in record time, and placed in operation Aug-ust 15th of this year. The present capacity of the plantis 30,000 kw. and it will be connected with the McKit-trick substation by 110,000-volt transmission lines. Removing rock from the tunnel line on the San JoaquinLight & Power Corporations Kerckhoff project. Thistunnel which was one of the notable features of theconstruction work, measures 18 ft. by 18 ft. and extendsa distance of S/z miles through solid granite. A steamshovel was used inside the tunnel, and electric storagebattery locomotives carried out the burrowings. ^iiiiiiiiiiNiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii^^ riiini iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
