     The application/declaration in this proceeding, as previously amended

(the "Application"), is hereby further amended as follows:



     1.   The purpose of this amendment is to increase to $500 million the

aggregate amount of short-term debt that The Connecticut Light and Power

Company ("CL&P") may have outstanding at any one time through December 31,

1994 from its currently authorized level of $375 million.  CL&P needs the

authorization for an additional $125 million of short-term debt to give it the

flexibility to refinance $170 million of debt represented by its Series WW

First Mortgage Bonds, which will mature on October 1, 1994, in a way that

provides the maximum financial advantage to CL&P.  While CL&P could refinance

those bonds by issuing a new series of bonds prior to or upon their maturity,

market conditions in the bond market have been volatile in 1994.  Hence, CL&P

believes it is prudent to be in a position so that it is not compelled to

issue new bonds immediately if market conditions near the time the Series WW

First Mortgage Bonds mature are unfavorable.  Accordingly, CL&P wishes to have

the ability to use the proceeds of short-term debt to repay its Series WW

First Mortgage Bonds upon their maturity and to issue bonds to repay that

short-term debt once conditions in the bond market improve.  In addition, CL&P

may also use the proceeds of short-term debt to acquire by purchase, tender or

other means any of its outstanding preferred stock or bonds.



     2.   The short-term debt authorizations granted in this file expire on

December 31, 1994.  CL&P and the other applicants in this file intend to seek

new short-term debt authorizations to be in effect before the end of the year.

The short-term debt authorization sought by CL&P at that time would account

for any continuing need to use short-term debt to finance the capital

requirements of CL&P represented by the Series WW Bonds.  Accordingly, the

increased short-term debt authorization requested in this amendment would
<PAGE>
                                         -2-



expire along with the short-term debt authorizations of the other applicants

in this file on December 31, 1994.



     3.   The reference to $375,000 next to CL&P in the table in Section 3 of

the Application is changed to $500,000.



     4.   The reference to $375 million in the first sentence of Section 6 of

the Application is changed to $500 million.



     5.   The following is added after the second sentence of the second

paragraph in Section 7 of the Application:



     CL&P will also use funds derived from short-term borrowings

     authorized by the Commission pursuant to this

     application/declaration to repay certain of its bonds upon their

     maturity and/or to acquire by purchase, tender or other means any of

     its preferred stock or bonds.



     6.   As stated in the second paragraph of Section 6 of the Application,

the aggregate amount of short-term debt that can be incurred by CL&P is

further restricted by the provisions of its preferred stock.  CL&P has

authorization from the holders of its preferred stock, through March 31, 2004,

to issue securities representing unsecured short-term indebtedness up to a

maximum of 20% of its capitalization.  Based on its capitalization as of June

30, 1994, CL&P is limited to approximately $675,636,000 of unsecured

indebtedness through short-term debt.  (See Exhibit J.1.1 filed herewith.)
<PAGE>
                                         -3-



     7.   It is estimated that the fees, commissions and expenses paid or

incurred, or to be paid or incurred, directly or indirectly, by the applicants

with respect to this post-effective amendment will not exceed $2,000.  None of

such fees, commissions or expenses will be paid to any associate company or

affiliate of the applicants except for financial and other services performed

at cost by Northeast Utilities Service Company, an affiliated service company,

and except that C. Duane Blinn, a member of the firm of Day, Berry & Howard,

counsel to the applicants, is Assistant Secretary of Connecticut Yankee Atomic

Power Company, an affiliate, and the estimate of fees set forth above will

include payment to be made to that firm for legal services in connection with

the transactions proposed in this post-effective amendment.



     8.   Other than the approval of the Commission, no other state or federal

commission has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this post-effective

amendment.



     9.   The Series WW Bonds mature on October 1, 1994.  The applicants

therefore respectfully request that the Department issue its order permitting

this post-effective amendment to become effective as soon as practicable, and

in any event no later than September 15, 1994.  The applicants hereby waive

any recommended decision by a hearing officer or by any other responsible

officer of the Commission and waive the 30-day waiting period between issuance

of the Commission's order and the date on which it is to become effective,

since it is desired that the Commission's order, when issued, become effective

immediately.  The applicants consent that the Office of Public Utility

Regulation within the Division of Investment Management may assist in the

preparation of the Commission's decision and/or order.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to Northeast Utilities, The Connecticut Light
and Power Company ("CL&P"), Western Massachusetts Electric Company, Holyoke
Water Power Company, Northeast Nuclear Energy Company, The Quinnehtuk
Company, The Rocky River Realty Company, Public Service Company of New
Hampshire, North Atlantic Energy Corporation and HEC Inc. in connection with
those transactions contemplated by Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 (Amendment
No. 5) to their application/declaration in the above-referenced file (the
"Amendment").  This opinion is given to you with respect to such transactions
pursuant to your Instructions as to Exhibits to applications and declarations
filed on Form U-1.  Except as otherwise defined herein, terms used herein
shall have the meanings given them in the Amendment.

     We have examined such documents, corporate records and other instruments
as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purposes of this opinion. 
We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural
persons and the conformity to originals of documents submitted to us as
copies.

     The opinions set forth herein are qualified in their entirety as
follows:  (a) every opinion rendered herein is expressly subject to the
consummation of such transactions in accordance with the Amendment; (b) no
opinion is expressed as to any laws other than the federal laws of the United
States and the laws of the State of Connecticut; (c) the opinion expressed in

                                    -2-



not be amended between now and the time the short-term debt authorization for
CL&P is increased.

     Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

     1.   All state laws applicable to the increase in the short-term debt
authorization for CL&P will have been complied with at the time the
Commission issues an order permitting the Amendment to become effective.

     2.   CL&P is validly incorporated and duly existing.

     3.   The increase in the short-term debt authorization for CL&P will not
violate the legal rights of the holders of any securities issued by CL&P or
any associate company thereof.

     This opinion may be relied on by the Commission in connection with the
preparation of its decision in this matter.

                              Very truly yours,

             PROPOSED INCREASE IN SHORT-TERM DEBT AUTHORIZATION 
                 FOR THE CONNECTICUT LIGHT AND POWER COMPANY

________________, 1994

     Northeast Utilities ("NU"), a public utility holding company registered
under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended (the "Act"),
and its subsidiary companies, Western Massachusetts Electric Company, The
Quinnehtuk Company, all located in West Springfield, Massachusetts, The
Connecticut Light and Power Company ("CL&P"), Northeast Nuclear Energy
Company, The Rocky River Realty Company, all located in Berlin, Connecticut,
Holyoke Water Power Company, located in Holyoke, Massachusetts, Public
Service Company of New Hampshire, North Atlantic Energy Corporation, both
located in Manchester, New Hampshire, and HEC Inc., located in Natick,
Massachusetts, have filed with this Commission a post-effective amendment
(the "Amendment") to their application/declaration in File No. 70-8048
pursuant to Sections 6(a), 7, 9(a), 10 and 12(b) of the Act and Rules 43 and
45 thereunder.  

     The purpose of the Amendment is to increase to $500 million the
aggregate amount of short-term debt that CL&P may have outstanding at any one
time through December 31, 1994 from its currently authorized level of $375
million.  CL&P needs the authorization for an additional $125 million of
short-term debt to give it the flexibility to refinance $170 million of debt
represented by its Series WW First Mortgage Bonds, which will mature on
October 1, 1994, in a way that provides the maximum financial advantage to
CL&P.  While CL&P could refinance those bonds by issuing a new series of
bonds prior to or upon their maturity, market conditions in the bond market
have been volatile in 1994.  Hence, CL&P believes it is prudent to be in a
position so that it is not compelled to issue new bonds immediately if market
conditions near the time the Series WW First Mortgage Bonds mature are
unfavorable.  Accordingly, CL&P wishes to have the ability to use the
proceeds of short-term debt to pay its Series WW First Mortgage Bonds upon
their maturity and to issue bonds to repay that short-term debt once
conditions in the bond market improve.  In addition, CL&P may also use the
proceeds of short-term debt to acquire by purchase, tender or other means any
of its outstanding preferred stock or bonds. 

     The short-term debt authorizations granted in this file expire on
December 31, 1994.  CL&P and the other applicants in this file intend to seek
new short-term debt authorizations to be in effect before the end of the
year.  The short-term debt authorization sought by CL&P at that time would
account for the any continuing need to use short-term debt to finance the
capital requirements of CL&P represented by the Series WW Bonds. 
Accordingly, the increased short-term debt authorization requested in this
amendment would expire along with the short-term debt authorizations of the
other applicants in this file on December 31, 1994.

     The applicants state that they intend to request the Commission's
approval, pursuant to the Amendment, of all transactions connected to the
increase of CL&P's short-term debt authorization, whether under the
enumerated sections of the Act and the rules thereunder or otherwise.

     The Amendment and any further amendments in this file are available for
public inspection through the Commission's Office of Public Reference.  Any
interested persons wishing to comment or request a hearing on the Amendment
should submit their views in writing by _____________, 1994, to the
Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. 20549, and
serve a copy on the Applicants. Proof of service (by affidavit or, in the
case of an attorney at law, by certificate) should be filed with the request. 
Any request for hearing shall identify specifically the issues of fact or law
that are disputed.  A person who so requests will be notified of any hearing,
if ordered, and will receive a copy of any notice or order issued in this
matter.  After said date, the Amendment, as filed or as it may be further
amended, may be permitted to become effective.

     For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management, pursuant
to delegated authority.
