The boiler plant at this station consists of 15 (4,000 squarefeet) OBrien water tube boilers, equipped with the Jonesunder-feed stokers. When this plant was acquired it had been operating asa non-condensing plant. We at once began the necessarypreparation and now have a cooling tower and condenser in-stallation practically completed. This condenser plant con-sists of one Alberger centrifugal condenser, having a 54-inchexhaust steam connection, the water from which is handledby one 24-inch centrifugal pump, driven by two Westinghousehigh-speed engines, operating at 250 revolutions per cooling tower installation consists of four Alberger cool-.

Handling thisamount of steam a vacuum of 25 inches is guaranteed. All electrical equipment in this station is of the GeneralElectric type, the engines being of three different types,namely.
