PCfT2R SHUT OFFS
TO OCCUR .
uJ Dug to a reconstruct
ion'and line improvement
program on the electrical
distribution system it
will be necessary to shut
off the power from time
to time it was announced
by J. "Dutch" Groothof
today.
These power .shut
offs irill be necessary to
safe guard the lives of
the men vrorking on the
lines.
The power shut offs
will not occur any oftner
nor will they be of any
longer duration than ab
solutely necessary.
Among the many new
improvements contemplated
by the Seldovia Light and
Power Co. is a new city
wide series street light
ing system.
This 2300 volt ser
ies system will be con
trolled by a photo elect
ric cell better known as
the magic eye.
The material and eq
uipment 'necessary for the
instillation of this new
system has been ordered
and a portion of that
order has arrived.
The instillation of
this system will require
considerable time, but
upon completion Seldov
’ian»s will enjoy modern
brightly lighted streets
it is reported.
By using the magic
eye for controll the city
will be assured that the
street lights will be
turned on when darkness
falls.
The principal of the
magic eye operation is
that when the sunlight
fails it will cause a re
action within the photo
electric cdll which in
turn will operate a relay.
This relay controlls the
starting switch for the
street lighting system.
Incidentally the location,
o'f this magic eye will
not be made public due to
the fact that it is sens
itive and will operate
even under the rays of a
flashlight.
