CARDIGAN CHRONICLE Volume 1974, Issue 5
CARDIGAN MOUNTAIM SCHOOL
A SERIOUS NOTE FROM GRANITE STATE ELECTRIC Canaan Town officials have passed along this vital information to Cardigan Mountain School: (Canaan, N.H.) The Granite State Electric Company has learned that due to several severe electrical Storms this summer, it has become necessary to blow out the dirty electrical lines. Old equipment in the Canaan area works on a ~u~t1nn principle and the main compressor in Enfield will be used on the reverse system to blow out the accumulated debris. Dirty lines are causing low voltage in the ~pper Valley communities. Therefore all Canaan electrical lines will be bl9wn out on Monday, July 29 at 3 p.m. Cardigan asks that all students and faculty be sure to place masking tape over all electrical outlets sometime during the day before 3 p.m. Everyone should be doubly sure that all outlets are covered with tape because uncovered outletts will explode electrical dust into rooms, causing a great deal of room untidiness. Dorm masters are asked to cover all dormitory telephones with paper bags since some residue is also blown out through th~ phones. Electrical dust stains badly and is almost impossible to remove.
