ELECTRIC POWER SCHEME
OPERATIONS IN BRITAIN MANY AREAS SERVED MILLIONS PLACED IN CONTRACTS (British Official Wireless.) (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) RUGBY, February 12. (Received Feb. 13, at 5.5 p.m.) The Central Electricity Board, which was created five years ago, has made remarkable progress on the national power scheme. The scheme contemplates the transmission of lines totalling 4070 miles, and at the end of 1931 more than 2400 miles had been built. The lines in actual operation aggregate 910 miles. The progress made last year was rapid. Work will be set in operation during the current year in Central Scotland, and probably by the end of 1933 in other areas. During last year the board placed contracts of £30,000,000 in connection with the scheme.
