G. V. Rork, president of the Northern States Power Company of Wisconsin, today
announced that the 1940 construction budget of the company will be $1,987,560.

demands of present customers.

horse power. It is expected that his plant will be completed and in operation by
August 1, 1940.
The entire switchboard will be rebuilt at the Menomonie Hydro Plant. This is an
added guard to service and provides additional capacity.

be rebuilt.
The Thorp Substation will be rebuilt and relocated.
Poles will be replaced in the 11,000 volt line between Elmwood and Plum City,
and also on the line between Eleva and Strum.
Additional 4,000 volt feeder capacity will be installed in the business section
of La Crosse to meet increasing load.
Further electrical equipment will be installed in the Wissota Hydro Plant, Red
Wing, Nelson Bluff Siding and Cedar Falls Substations.
Provision is made for rural line extensions and reconstruction. Poles will be
placed on the 13,000 volt line between Colby and Cherokee.
