Indiana Engineer Outlines Tippecanoe River Power Plan
John A. Shafer Indianapolis engineer in Washington told the Water Power Commission the Tippecanoe River would host a phased dam and power system funded by New York financiers, costing about 6.9 to 7 million dollars. Dams would be built from Delphi to Monticello with first plants ready by next fall, delivering electrical power to nearby factories and improving drainage while preserving river beauty. He notes surveys are under way and several sites near the river are being prepared to receive light from the new plants. Shafer, a 1902 graduate of Purdue, has overseen many Indianapolis rail projects and plans to employ multiple substations along the river.
