Development of “Super-Pow- er System in East Favor- ed After Official Survey BY HARRY HUNT WASHINGTON, Feb, 3.--An an nual net saving of $510,000,000 in the cost of power for railroads, pub Ke utilities and industrial plants tn the Auiantic coast Industrial sone can be accomplished by the efficient co- ordination of power eources in that district into a River of Power, Such ts the finding of a board of) expert power engineers which, work ing under the direction of the Unit ed States geological survey, bas | made a detailed study of the ad-| vantages and savings that might | result from the development of « superpower system to serve this section. These savings would be divided 190,000,000 | re fs 81,000,00 | Such a aystem. WwW. S. Marray, | consulting engineer in charge of the tnvestigation, points out, also would take from the over-congested railroads in this district a great val ume of bulky coal traffic and) ‘would conserve the rapidly divap | Pearing cheap fuel of the Appa | lachian coal fields. The annual coal saving under the | superpower system is estimated at 49,984,000 tons, as follows: Riectric utilities .... 19,149,000 tons Heavy traction rail- The eystem calls “simply. for ie conversion of coal into electric pow er at plants located close to the) Hast, under the super-power plan. sources of cheap coal supply and| streams of power from steam generating plants located at the development of hydro-electric | power plants at points where de-| pendable waterpower is available. ‘The power thus produced would De fed inte the principal load cen ters and distributed from there to bg individual plants requiring power. A main er belt, extending coal whshdunten to New Haven, Conn., would receive power from producing stations and ‘pass it along to the main consum- ing centers. In the region which would be merved by this system there are Row 568 electric utility plants. Their Qverage capacity is 7.900 kilowatts. | Under the superpower system the number of stations needed to) supply the entire zone by 1930 would be only 273. | The capacity of basetond steam Plants, located at sources of coal | supply, would range from 60,000 to | 300,000 kilowatts. No generator! would be installeq with a capacity _ ef less than 20,000 The total investment in generat- “tng and transmission facilities for} _ the system is put at $1.109,564,000. | Of this sum $416,346.000 represents | value of existing facilities that | would be incorporated in the new system, leaving $693,218.000 as ‘the | additional amount to be spent. ) Within the proposed power zone (are 96,000 manufacturing establish- | Menta. Tt would cost these plants $185. 090,900 to provide motor equipment gufficient to earry on all their proc eases by electric power. But at the estimated power rate, these con- corns would save in power costs | yearly $190,000,000 above the fixed | charges on this motor investment The combined capital investment dustries using the power, by 1920, Would amount to $1,294,564,000. The annual yield or mving resulting from this expenditure would be $429,000,000 above fixed charges, or 33 per cent on the investment! Also, within this zone are 36,090| miles of railroad track. Of this| about 19,000 can be profitably elec trified, so as to yield an annual ‘saving of $41,000,000 as compared with cost of operation by steam. ‘The capital necessary for this elec trification of railways would be; $570,000,000, on which the saving | Would return 14.2 per cent. Potential hydro-electric power that could easily be made available fm such a system {s to be found on the Potomac river, at Great Falls, near Wasgington; on the Susque- hanna river, on the Hudson, Dela ware, Raquette, Black and Con- Recticut rivers. Later, additional | Power, if desired, could be brought | in from the St. Lawrence, the Niag ara river and the rivers of Maine. The possibilities of expansion, of Course, are infinite.
