Plans for the expansion of the Indianapolis: Power & Light Co.'s Perry K plant, at an estiniated cost of $1,400,000, have received the ap-| proval of the war production: board and construction contracts have been awarded,

Ready Next Fall

The entire project is expected to be ready for operation by Nbvember, 1945, In announcing plans for the new project, H. T. Pritchard, president of the company, said: “This new project to increase the capacity and efficiency of our Perry K plant is evidence of our confidence, based on careful surveys of Jocal pqst-war prospects, that the future progress of Indianapolis will be such as to require additional power supply. Other projects to expand and improve the generating, transmission, distribution and service facilities of the local electric system are being planned for the next four years to anticipate this erea’s development.”
