This includes the entire cost for the plant as it stands to-day, which, as far as the building is concerned, is complete for the entire capacity. At present there is installed generating capacity of boilers, engines and dynamos, for one third (⅓) of the final output of the plant. The electrical apparatus is complete for the entire output, with a very few additions in the way of a few switches, etc. The underground lines have a capacity for 20,000 lights. The work necessary to complete the plant for its entire capacity would amount to about $200,000
