CU RPF N T CUTINI)W Nt* LINt 111 CtIRDELE Hydro-Electric Current Now Fur nished From Albany Dam Via Americus Station Current has been cut in over the line from Flint river to Cordele, via Americus, with the steam plant here reserved as the chief auxiliary sta tion between Albany and Cordele. Announcement to this effect was au thorized here today by R. P. Ewing, manager for the South Georgia Pub lic Utilities Company, which owns the transmission lines between Al bany and this entire section of Geor gia. The line from Americus to Cor del« passes through both Leslie and DeSoto, and it is stated that both these communities will be served with current at an early date. Hunt ington, the only other community of any importance along the route of the line, will not be furnished at this time, though it is planned to furnish current for consumption there as soon as certain details can be worked out'by company officials. These include the construction of an auxiliary line between some point on the present line and Huntington community. The current being furnished Cor dele is delivered on the switchboard there at 44,000 volts and “stepped down” to 2,300 volts for delivery lo cally, this being further reduced to 110 volts when the current takes the consuming line. The current will be distributed at Cordele by the South Georgia Power Company, this being the company owning the steam fran chises there, and which it is Under stood is controlled by the South Georgia Utilities Company, which owns the transmission line. The rates to be charged at Cordele, it is stated, are practically the same as those at present exacted here, with a slight added charge due to the ex tended length of the transmission lines.
