Its artificial warmth may even mitigate the rigors of Winter slightly, Along the East River are nine electric light power plants. In order to condense the steam after it has done its.work the great tur- and water boilers. a to every ton of coal burned under the As the plants consume something like thousand tons of coal an hour, and as the temperature of the water is raised about 25 de- grees during the five minutes that it stays in the plant. it is obvious that the effect on the parent stream far from negligible Sclence Service says that this tremendous sup- ply of warm water actually raises the tempera- ture of the whole river, from Hell Gate to Gov- ernors’ Island, no less than 10 degrees. That s one reason why the East River obstinately re- fuses to freeze over, even in'the coldst weather.
