State power plant plan saves costs for Indiana institutions
Engineer B V Hubbard reports a proposed $105,350 state powerhouse with waterworks and electric light would cut annual heating and power costs from $31,838 to $20,933 while serving the statehouse, Indiana school of medicine, and soldiers and sailors monument. The plan, backed by Gov Marshall and state officials, would place the plant south of Military Park with a track-side rear for coal shipments and include a 100 by 45 foot building with 33 percent more machinery and interchangeable parts to prevent service interruptions. Ballots for the United Mine Workers of America officers will be mailed to locals ahead of the December 14 election, with Lewis versus anti-Lewisite factions shaping the contest and several candidates vying for minor offices and delegates to the American Federation of Labor.
