In consequence of the Installation of the new electric generatore at the power house of the (Virginia Passenger and Power Company, at the foot of Twelfth Street, lt Is expected that the auxiliary power plant on Johnson's Island, at the foot of Ninth' Street, will bo shut down to-morrow, and henceforth all the power necessary for Lhe company's uses will b? developed nt the foot of Twelfth Street,' The two new generators produce addition? al power of fifteen hundred horse power, increasing the pgwer cnpaclty ot the plant to 5,600, with a. further incroab? of 750 horse power In lmrnodlate prospect. The plant Is sufficiently commodious for the Installation of other generators that will further Increase the power production aa desired. The shutting down of the old island Plant will leave that place Idle for the first time in many years. It has been used tinco tho war almost continuously for manufacturing or power developing purposes, nnd was one of the earliest electric power plants in the country, con? taining some obsolete machinery, which has been sold to a Boston firm.
