Destructive Niagara Rockfall Triggers Massive Damages
A Niagara Falls rockfall at Prospect Point in 1954 destroyed the Niagara Mohawk powerhouse section, burying six generators and halting much local industry. A Lewiston machinist Richard Draper was swept away, while officials blamed seepage, possible earth movement, and a minor earthquake. Power resumed gradually as lines sourced from other stations were tapped. The event underscores the era’s seismic and geological uncertainties in the gorge area.

Turnpike funds eyed to curb toll hike
Harrisburg reports G Franklin McSorley proposes shifting part of a 25 million dollar surplus from the Northeastern Extension construction fund into the sinking fund. The move could offset a 41 percent toll rise for cars and 0 percent decrease for trucks, without delaying further construction. He notes the bond issue cost was lower than initial estimates and postulates remaining revenues from the Norristown-Deranton extension and Delaware River link will cover sinking fund needs after project completion.
