New Hampshire's largest utility could go bankrupt this month if it doesn't get financial help for the mas-' sive two-unit Seabrook nuclear plant construction project Banks have cut off credit for the project because of its escalating cost and the precarious state of Public Service finances. "We are looking at what will probably be the landmark case in utility bankruptcies, if it does occur," Sununu said.

Piedmont Airlines said Wednesday it placed a firm order for delivery of 15 Boeing 737-300 twinjet aircraft and took options on 15 others.

It's the largest fleet expansion program in the company's history. Delivery on the first 15 is ex-pected to begin April 1985, and be completed by September 1986. If the 15 options are exercised, those deliveries would take place during 1986 and 1987. Piedmont didn't disclose financial tarns of the amngement v. The previous largest order for, new aircraft placed by Piedmont was In early 1981, when the company placed orders and options for 18 Boeing 737-200 aircraft All 18 aircraft involved in that transac- tion have been delivered and are in service on Piedmont's routes.

That, 'the company said, makes Piedmont the world's largest operator of 737-200 aircraft, with a fleet of 63. The 15 new jets to be delivered during the next two years will give the airline greater scheduling flexibility, the ability to fly more pas- sengers while consuming less fuel, and provide airports served by Pled- tnont with one of the quietest aircraft in production today, said company president William Howard.
