ULL THE NEWS OF POWER PLANT ON OLD CANAL. BED Part of Electrification Plan at Altoona and Vicinity; Engineer Busy • Altoona, Pa., Feb. 10. lt is re ported lieer that the Pennsylvania Railroad contemplates rebuilding the lireast of the old Pennsylvania Canal reservoir, south of Hollidaysburg, to manufacture electricity when the elec trification project planned for Al toona is undertaken. This is also part of plans announced yesterday from Johnstown. Since the break in the breast, in 3 882, the site has been leased to farmers. The old reservoir was built in 1839 to feed the Pennsylvania Canal. Engineers Busy I/oiig Time It is known that railroad engineers have been engaged for some time ■working out the possible amount of electricity that could be generated by the branch of the Juniata which flows through the old basin, and that they have been able to arrive at fairly ac curate conclusions. The Pennsy, it is also reported, has planned a spur, to be built from Ash tola to a point on the Bedford divi sion, as an outlet for the-Sonierset coal fields. The idea is to relieve the Pittsburgh division of some of the traffic now coming from Somerset county, eliminate the heavy haul over the mountain and divert certain through traffic to lhe Hollidaysburg yards instead of bringing it through Altoona.
