BIG POWER SCHEME.
SCOTTISH UNDERTAKING.
(British Official Wireless.) (Received 1.30 p.m.)
RUGBY, November 13.
A syndicate has been formed to establish an important hydro-electric power scheme involving capital of several millions in the Galloway district of southwestern Scotland. The Electricity Board will control the scheme, which will include five power stations. The Rivcr Dee will be the principal waterway to be harnessed, but all the lochs, including Loch Doon, and tributaries, arc, according to reports, to be utilised. It is proposed that the electrical power generated will be carried to the industrial centres absorbing the existing small organisations.
