Power lost in parts of N. York
NZPA-Reuter New York As New Yorkers eyed their lights cautiously in sweltering heat yesterday morning, the great black-out returned for a limited engagement as power failed in a small section of Manhattan’s East Side.
Scattered power failures occured along Second Avenue betwee 77th Street and 110th Street when Consolidated Edison, the power company, encountered feeder-cable problems. A company spokesman said: “There is no chance of it spreading. It’s not that kind of problem. A fire at a subway excavation site caused the new power problems.”
The long process of arraigning alleged looters arrested during last week’s city-wide power failure continued as hundreds of suspects were processed through the overcrowded court system. The American Insurance Association has said that insured losses from malicious mischief during the black-out will total about S3OM.
