Vixen completed the plant is. expected to have a maximum cnpac- ity of ”00° kilowatts or ten times the size of the first unit. and will; rank among the largest generatingi stations in the country. The additional, electric power fnci- lities provided by the new plant is ex- pected to at once zrently expand the industrial business of the north shore manufacturing districts and provide a more bountiful supply of energy to the midentinl sections thnn in any similar district in the country.

The enormous total of 2,734,393,000 cubic feet of gas was produced, over 100,000 tons of cool and coke and more than-'8,000,000 gallons of gas oil being necessary in the manufsu taxing process.
