Butts County Progress November 1909
Transmission Lines To Be Built Soon

Work begins on Fifteenth

Line Will be Run From Power Plant Via Bibb and Forsyth to Macon – Materials 
Has Already Arrived and Engineers Are at Work

Work on the transmission lines of the Central Georgia Power Company will be 
taken up with a few days and the first line will be run from the power plant 
on the Ocmulgee river via Bibb and Forsyth to Macon.  The material is already 
arriving and the work will begin on the 15th.

After the first line has been run others will be built in different 
directions.  A line will probably be run from Forsyth to Griffin and from 
Griffin to Atlanta.  Jackson may not be on the line and this city may miss 
power from the big power plant.

Engineers are at work and have been for some time on these lines and about all 
of the preliminary work has been finished.  Work on the big dam is now 
progressing well, being aided by the excellent weather conditions, and the dam 
will likely be completed on schedule time.  It is thought power will be 
available early in the new year.
