Engineer to Make Survey
Of Nome Light & Power
System, Rate Structure
Pearse Walsh, president of the
Nome Light and Power Utility
Board, reports that during his re
cent visit to Seattle, he contacted
Grande & Co., requesting that
they recommend a consulting en
gineer to make a survey of the
Nome electric system. Grande &
Co. are the bond underwriters for
N.L. & P.
The bonding ordinance pro
vides that a comprehensive sur
vey and report must be made of
the operation and conditions of
the electric system by a consult
ing engineer at least once every
five years.
Accordingly the underwriters
recommended Mr. Roy W. John
son of Seattle to make the sur
vey.
At the Utility Board meeting
last night the board agreed to en
ter into a contract with Mr. John
son to make the required survey
and also to make a study of the
Nome Light and Power rate struc
ture.
It was also reported at last
night’s meeting that the engine
leased from F1AA is now in posi
tion in the power plant and oil
and water pipes are now being
installed.
When this engine is put into
operation the generating capacity
of the N.L. & P. plant will be
increased by about 300 kilowatts.
