CHEAP POWER FOR CANTON
Yung River Project Solves Problem
GERMAN FIRM'S OFFER
OF CREDIT
(From Oor Own Correspondent}
Canton, Yesterday,
In connection with the construc- tion of a gigantle hydro-electric power station in Yung Yuen on the Yung River, a local German firm is reported to have offered credit to the Provincial Department of Re- construction for the purchase of allj machinery and necessary equlp- ment from Germany.
An electrical engineer of the German Arm has arrived here to conclude an agreement with the Kwangtung Provincial Government. The amovat involve is not disclosed, but it is understood that the project costs over ten million dollars.
The same German firm sent two engineers to Yung Yuen over a year ago, who found that_by' utiliz-! ing the water power of the Yung River electricity can be produced åt a very low cost. After the es- tablishment of the hydro-electric plant, Canton will be supplied with current at a very cheap rate.
Electric supply, will be needed for the proposed iron and steel plant
in Tunglong, just off the harbour
