Fourth Unit Os
Ga. Power Plant
Now In Operation
The 490, 000-kilo watt fourth
unit of Georgia Power Company’s
Plant Harllee Branch has been
placed in operation, giving the
station a total capacity of 1,539,-
000 kilowatts and making it one
of the largest steam-electric gen
erating plants in the nation.
Plant Harllee Branch is on a
716-acre site on Lake Sinclair
in Putnam County, between Mil
ledgeville and Eatonton. The
plant is now powerful enough to
supply the electrical needs of ev
ery home in Georgia.
Edwin I. Hatch, president, an
nounced the addition of the four
th unit this week. He said it
is the culmination of eight years
planning and construction work
that typifies the efforts Georgia
Power is constantly making to
keep its system among the most
modern and efficient in the na
tion.
The station’s first unit was
completed in the summer of 1965,
the second in the spring of 1967
and the third in June of last
year. Their capacities, respec
tively, are 250,000, 319,000 and
480,000 kilowatts.
"By the end of 1973,” Mr.
Hatch said, "another 2,700,000
kilowatts will be added tc the
company’s generating capacity
at a cost of approximately 5352
million.”
The increase will include such
developments as the two 700,-
000-kilowait units at the new
Etowah River steam-electric pl
ant near Cartersville and the
800,000-kilowatt unit at the Ed
win L Hatch nuclear-fueled plant
now under construction near Bax
ley. In addition, a 500,000-kilo
watt unit is being installed at
Plant Hammond near Rome.
The new units, Mr. Hatch said,
will double Georgia Power’s pre
sent capacity and will assure am
ple quantities of electric energy
in years ahead to meet the rapid
ly growing needs of Georgia Po
wer’s 932,000 residential, rural,
commercial and industrial custo
mers.

Spendable Earnings And
Purchasing Power In May
Washington—" Hie purchas
ing power of the Nations’ rank
and-file workers rose moderate
ly in May, as a gain in take
home pay more than offset the
rise in consumer prices, the
U. S. Department of Labor’s Bu
reau of Labor Statistics has re
ported.
Gross weekly earnings in
creased to $113.55 in May, a
gain of $1.05 from the April level
and $6.86 (6.4 percent) from a
year earlier. The May advance
was attributable to a 2-cent rise
in hourly earnings and a 0.1-
hour gain in the workweek. Af
ter adjustment for price chang
es, weekly earnings for all rank
and-file workers were 0.6 per
cent above the April level and
1.0 percent above last May.
Spendable earnings, or after
tax pay, for the worker with three
dependents amounted to $99.19 in
May, a gain of 80 cents over the
month. Compared to the year
ago level, take-home pay was up
by $4.79 (5.1 percent).
Real spendable earnings —
take-home pay expressed in 1957-
59 dollars to take account of the
effect of price changes—averag
ed $78.23 for the worker with
three dependents in May. This
was 0.5 percent above the April
level, the largest over-the-month
advance since September 1968.
However, real spendable earnings
were down 0.3 percent from a year
ago and 2.0 percent from the re -
cord level of last September.
