On Salem Visit The reliability of electric light and power service In north and east Salem, and to the state institutions, lying southeast of Salem, is soon to be greatly Improved by the con struction ot an 11,000 volt, three phase, electrio power line, which the Portland Electric Power company Is building on 14th street north of Market. This line Is being built west on Ferry street to 17th, on, 17th to Nebraska, Nebraska to 14th and north on 14th to the 14th street sub station. At present there are two 11.000 volt "feeders," as they are called extending out from the main sub station at Mill and Liberty streets. One of these lines runs east on Mill street to 20th. and thence to the Ferry street substation, and another branch runs out to the state institutions. The other 11.000 volt feeder runs north along North Commercial street, one branch extending out the River road past the Reiser school. The other branch extends east on Highland avenue toward the fairgrounds. It then runs to the 14th street substation. The new line will constitute what Is known as a "tie line". This tie line in conjunction with the two existing feeders will constitute a loop Be ginning and ending at the main substation at Mill and Liberty streets. Numerous "sectionalixing" switches will be installed in tne loop, so that if trouble occurs on any one of the sections of the loop due to a short circuit or a break In the wire, that one section of tne loop can be cut out. As there will be one Of these switches located on either side of each substation on the loop, it will be possible to cut-out the section of the loop between any two sub stations, and. thereiore. all of the substations on the loop and tne branch lines leading from the loop can be suDnlied with service irom either one or the other of the two above mentioned feeder lines, and the customer will experience no in terruption of service while the rinmaiTA is belne renaired.
