The Keystone Power sorporation
furnishing light and power for this
region, has begun the erection of a
new high capacity 44.000 volt line be:
tween Bellefonte and Tyrone, to cost
$100,000. Three years ago a high
power line connected tellefonte with
the Penn Central System at Corn
Propst Mills, Huntingdon county. This
line is twenty-five miles In length
and passes through remote and inac-
cesgible territory, the service over it
being unsatisfactory. The Interrup-

entirely, eradicated once the new line
now under construction is in use.
