Both Linked to Defense.

At Ashland, M. C. Funk, vice president of the Kentucky West Virginia Power Company, announced a plant expansion program at Hazard calling for expenditure of more than and other installations in the Hazard. Pikeville and Ashland districts to cost approximately $1,399,000 during the coming year. Both projects are tied in with the national defense program.

The Western Kentucky plant, in addition to furnishing power for operation of the $13,000,000 ammonia plant to be built at Henderson, would provide current for twenty-two R.E.A. cooperatives in Southern Indiana, Southern Illinois and West Kentucky, according to C. D. Harris, manager of the Purchase cooperative. Several Projects Submitted.

Rural Electrification Administration officials at Washington Kfiturriay night said they had submitted several proposals for construction of a generating plant to provide power for the Henderson ammonia plant. They emphasized, however, that no decision had lfrn made Pnd ndded that one rc-nilition of it offer was that the pNnt also be available for R.E.A. co-operatives in the neighboring area. The R.E-A., it was said, had consulted with Army and ammonia company olficials and submitted its estimates of probable costs and several proposals for financing the project at the Army's request. Could Expand Plant.

It was indicated the R.E.A proposal involved a 51,500.000 generating plant which could be expanded, if emergency conditions made it necessary, to an project. Harris said the Army plans to construct a generating plant near Henderson to provide power to operate the ammonia plant, but that the R.E.A. is advocating a larger plant. He said the R.E.A. has earmarked $8,000,000 for the proposed plant.

The resolution adopted by the Jackson Purchase Co-operative instructed the board of directors to write Kentucky Representatives and Senators, urging them to work for the larger plant. Harris said the Purchase cooperative would be able to obtain power about 33 per cent cheaper than the present rate it is paying if the S3.000.000 plant is built.
