Improvements Underway At Winchester Power Plant
Improvements surrounding Winchester power house progress toward completion. A new 350 horsepower gas engine, built by Westinghouse for the Jamestown Exposition, will cut fuel costs, support 10,000 lighting lamps, and ensure continuous service with a steam engine backup. By mid next week day current should be usable, with meters replacing flat rates and a $17,200 total investment. A separate cold storage building for perishables is planned for next spring, starting mid January and finishing before summer.
