RICHMOND’S CITY LIGHT PUNT TO DOUBLEGAPACITY And Will Have Enough Money to Pay for Addition. ft 1/ Times Special RICHMOND, Ind., Nov. 23.—This city will have anew 10,000 kilowatt power unit which will double the capacity, as an addition to the Richmond Power Company, municipally owned, It was announced today by D. C. Hess, company superintendent. And the company will have sufficient funds on hands to pay for the additional unit, it was said. "We will have practically all the money required to pay for, our new 10,000 kilowatt unit when it is delivered,” Hess said. "We now have $200,000 in the bank and will make the other $'*75,000 by delivery time.” On an investment of $1,500,000, Richmond has succeeded in getting a 6 cent light rate which is reduced in proportion to the amount of current used down to a power rate of cents per kilowatt.
