Freezeup Ai Power Planl
Reduces Power Temporarily
You probably have noticed con
siderable fluctuation in the elec
tric power the last couple of days.
It was caused by the shutdown
of the main engine at the Nome
Light & Power plant after a rad
iator froze up. The CAA power
plant has been supplying the city
with power since the shutdown.
However the big engine is ex
pected to be back in operation
again tonight with the arrival
of a new radiator today.

itors from Nome when they re
