2 " WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1923 ELECTRIC PLANT | NEARLY FINISHED Generating Station At Wau- kegan Big Achievement Within two months it is expected the initial unit in the Public Service company's great new generating sta- tion at Waukegan will be contribut- ing its 25,000 k. w. of energy to the district supply. In fact some members of the engineering staff are nearly ready to name the date when the plant will be in operation. The boilers and con- densers are at this writing being erected. The brick work is far ad- vanced and the electric work to care for the output of the generator is well underway. The coal handling equip- ment, its ingenious layout, its con- veyor belt 1,000 feet long, and its va- rious interesting details, worth a story by itself, will, it is expected, be ready shortly after this number of the News is in circulation. Drying Out Fires September 15 is set as the date for the starting of drying-out fires in the boilers. Unit implies one and you know of course that the generating unit means it is one machine. But you get an idea of its bigness from the fact that nine cars are required to transport it from the manufactory. There are two banks of transform- ers on the grounds. Their function is to reduce current transmitted from the present Waukegan Station to the point.necessary in actuating machinery used in erecting operations. Progress at Joliet Plant At the company's Joliet Electric Generating Station where an additional 30,000 k.w. generator is being installed, great progress has been made. Four boilers are required as an ad- dition to the present battery. It is ex- pected that some time in November the new generator will be in opera- tion. The company has received the nec- essary permit from the state author- izing the construction of the Hydraulic Station at Aroma Park included in the development plans of the year and work on it will start this fall.
