Superpower System To Girdle Country

Minnesota Power Light Company Part of Huge Transmission System.

Announcement was made last week that the Minnesota Power Light company is one unit in a great superpower system, which will link up all power lines of importance in the eastern half of the United States. When these connections are complete, it will be possible for power generating stations in Minnesota to come to the aid of power generating stations on the Gulf of Mexico, and vice versa. Thus the surplus power generated in Minnesota when waters are high here can be used to come to the aid of sections of the country where there is a generating power shortage. Instead of a huge power trust, the plan is being worked out through arrangements between the large power companies, and physical connection between their systems.
