              1949
Projects completed during this period were;
Kerr Power House:   Revision and enlargement of Montana Power Company's
power house near Poison, Montana, required doubling the size of the
original building, installation of a second 78, 000 H.P. turbine and generator,
and driving of 1200 feet of horizontal and inclined tunnel 24 feet in diameter.
Access was from the side of the existing structure opposite to the new
addition, and the $880,000 contract stipulated no interruption of service
from the existing facility.
Kerr Penstock Tunnel:   Some 1200 feet of 24 ft. tunnel for an addition to an
existing power house at Poison, Montana, had to be driven with extreme
care to avoid damaging an adjacent penstock tunnel then in use.   The tunnel
was excavated, lined with concrete, tested and put into operation in January,
1949, without interruption of service of the existing facilities.   Cost of the
project was included in the above.
