R. N. Hines 'recommends ed the use of 2/0 underground ? cable to serve the area immede -1 ately east of the main runway . and read six quotations. H£ also. recommended that this , cable be installed in fiber con duit, 4’’ in size, and that the ‘ three required lines be installed 1 approximately 2Vt feet uixier • ground, each' line to be approxi mately 6 inches apart. , On motion by Ralph E. Par . rish, seconded by Jesse L. Har rell and carried, Supt.

Les : ter was read to the Board, this letter setting out electrical re quirements at the hangar area, , water supply area, and power house area. A copy of this let ter follows: : February 21, 1962. Honorable John A. Mitchener, Edenton, North Carolina. Dear Mayor Mitchener: I am sorry I missed you on , my last trip to 4 Edenton; how ever, 1 guess everything is go ing along as welt as can be ex ptcftid. We have all the equip -1 ment lined up -for the operations. 1 I understand from our repre ;;sentative, Mr. Thomas M, Rob bins, that he and Mr. Hines got together on the electrical ser vice the Town is furnishing for the operations. It seems from Mr. Robbins’ report there is to . be more than one voltage in volved; however, I do not be lieve this presents any problem. Our requirements for electricity are at, 1. Hangar Area 2. Water Pumping Area 3. Power House Area It being understood that each will operate on a separate meter 1 for each area. HANGAR AREA: Naturally, the hangar area will be the largest point of power consumption; the voltage transformers to be 440 volts and placed on the existing poles on the South side of the hangar. As previously explain —w———k- THE CHOWAN HEHALP. CPUKTQH, WORTH CABOCDfA, THURSDAY. MARCH 29. 1962. '*d to you, «*r eleririftbl require ments will b« about 800 h.p. i within one year with'a constant load, of approximately 1500 h.p. I further understand there ip some equipment in the haqgar that it will be necessary to run 226 volts and also the lights will require 110 volts. I understand from. Mr. Robbinp this will not any problem. WATER PUMPING STATION & RESERVOIR: Naturally, this is the most strategic point for elec tricity as soon as possible, so in order for us to get the wells and pumps operating, it is my understanding the pumps are 220 volts. That will not pre sent any problem. I i POWER HOUSE OR BOILER | ROOM AREA: It seems we have a different set of fcireumstances here. in the fact this equipment is all 2380 volts, but as I under stand it from Mr. Robbins, the transformers are at the power house, and the only thing that will be necessary is for the Town to connect the transform ers. I further understand that after looking the situation over as to the electrical requirements, they basically agreed the most eco nomical way was to possibly set the poles along Guadalcanal Road and branch off down Mid way Road to transformer back at the hangar, and from the same road branch off to the water pumping station and extend the lines down Midway Road south to the: power house. ■ There are one or two points on which we would appreciate your assistance; 1. Rush the “boys along as fast as possible to get the electricity there as soon afe possible, for we are anxious to go, and it is hard to do anything much with out water and electricity. 2. Have Mr. Hines use his best judgment in the installation of this equipment to take care of the immediate requirements and foreseeable requirements keep ing in mind the most economical way that the work can be per formed by the Town to provide the United States Lumber Com pany with the necessary power without a standby charge. There is a good possibility of us working together so the sales of the electricity on the ha.se area will practically equal the sales in the Town. Very truly yours, L. L. lister, Jr. LLLjr/vam Supt. R. N. Hines was au thorized to proceed with instal lation of the overhead power service required for services to be furnished east of the main runway and down to the cold storage building. On motion by Jesse L. Harrell, seconded by Ralph E. Parrish and carried, $50,000 certificate of deposit which expired today is to be renewed for a period of 6 months at 3% interest rate.
