Ova the passed month,I have been working with engineers Iron,Western Mass Electric,our electrician

the pad mount transformer located behind the Calvin Theatre to the existing switchgear that is in the
basement of the Fnzwilly's restaurant.The new underground conductors will be sized to carry 1000 Amy::y
3 phase anent,which is the rated capacity of the main breaker in the existing switchgear. The
LBVetacruzana space,the building boiler and a new 200 amp panel for the Hackman restaurant will all b�
moved to the existing switch gar.
We have placed an order with.General Electric,the makers of the existing building switebgear,for the
hardware that is needed to connect the new underground lines to this gear.The GE factory is coshing
