We’re American citizens just
like everyone else.”

by four immigration officers
acting under the new law,

Anti-Salt Spray
Equipment
Special equipment was in- ,
stalled on all electrical trans-[ (
formers in areas receiving salt i
spray recently, Leon Johnson,' (
manager of the KEA* announ
ced this week. .
The special bushing hoods
for the transformers and four
special fog type bushings have
oeen installed. “The only way
we can find out if they work is
to try them,” Johnson ex
plained. He added that the
type of bushing now being
used to prevent power outages
is the same kind that has been
successfully used in Florida,
i He pointed out that while
Florida suffers from salt spray
they do not get freezing con
ditions.
“If any KEA user notices
that his lights are beginning
f to dim I suggest he pull his
| main switch to avoid trouble
I when the power comes back
on,” Johnson cautioned.
He further urged anyone
noticing an “arcing” condition
on any of the lines or poles to
immediately phone the KEA
office at phone 2161.
