LARGE ELECTRIC PLANT.

Over 83,000,000 to Be Expended In a tittle Pennsylvania Town. York Haven, a little town situated a few miles from York, Pa., will shortly enjoy a boom such as is seldom given to so small a place. One of the largest electrio plants in this country will shortly be established there, at the cost of about $2,000,000 or $3,000,000, and will be about 20,000 horsepower. It will be under the supervision of H. L. Carter, present owner of the York Haven paper mill of Philadelphia, and Mr. Severy and Mr. Einstein of New York. The plant will distribute a current of electricity throughout the nearby towns, such as Harrisburg, Lancaster, York, Manchester and all the towns within a radius of 30 or 40 miles. It is said that the plant will be the means of the establishment of three or four large mills at this plaoe. Early in the spring about 2,000 men Will be put on the works in order to hasten its completion. It is thought that it will take about three years to complete the plant.—Philadelphia Times.
