i Keuch Reports On Schuylkill Investments Dr. Corazza Is Chairman For Heart Fund Campaign Power Light Company's Hauto Steam Electric Station near Hometown. At 6 p.m. Friday its generating units totaling 78,000 kilowatts, were stilled, terminating 56 years of electric power generation at the site. "It was an old and inefficient plant," stated John Chaplinsky, Community Service ManagerNortheast Division.

"Like an old car, it had become costly to operate. We needed the power it could generate or we would have closed it sooner. However, with the new unit soon to be in service at the Brunner Island plant, south of Harrisburg, we can now remove Hauto from operation. "Furthermore, we have had problems limiting emission of fly-ash from Hauto's stacks. To reduce this emission to acceptable levels would have required an in-vestment in collection equipment which was unwarranted by the age of the plant." Chaplinsky outlined the future for the plant and its 270-acre site: "The company will retain about 14 acres of the site, which includes the existing substation, for present and future local power supply switching and distribution facilities.

The remaining 256 acres will have all evidences of plant cleared away. The company presently is pro-posing that an industrial shell building be erected on a suitable section of the 256 acres in a manner compatible with the sur-roundings. "The company will fund the project until a suitable industrial tenant is secured, including financing the shell building's construction. P. P.

purpose in suggesting such a use for the site is to provide local employment opportunities which will at least offset the jobs transferred as a result of the power plant's closing." Chaplinsky said. The employees directly affected by the plant's closing are being placed in other jobs in accordance with union contract provisions. There will be some, with only a few years of service remaining, who will elect to take early retirement rather than relocate. Also, some may voluntarily seek other employment in the immediate vicinity, the official stated. The plant was placed in operation in 1913 by the Lehigh Coal Navigation Co.

to supply power to nearby coal mines. In 1920, it became one of P. P. original power plants when the company was formed. This original section of the plant featured a unique split-level design.

Situated as it was. on the side of a mountain, the original plant has five main levels which enabled the force of gravity to be put to work. Coal was emptied at the top level from railroad cars, fell to bunkers and then to stokers where it was burned to produce steam in the boilers. From the stokers the burned-out coal, or ash, fell to a and then into trucks Thursday the authority filed declarations to take two additional properties by condemnation.
