Butts County Progress November 1909
Transmission Lines Now Being Built

It will cost a pretty penny to construct the transmission lines from the power 
plant on the river to Macon, a total of $75,000, it is said.  Steel towers 
will be built every five hundred yard apart to support the lines.  Mr. Theo. 
W. Ellis, who has been clearing the reservoir above the dam, is in charge of 
the work of cutting the right-of-way for these transmission lines.  One 
hundred feet will be the right-of-way used.  As fast as the right-of-way are 
cleared the steel towers will be built.  Work is now in full swing.
