TO ABATE THE SMOKENUISANCE
raaser Campbell Says the Utah Light and Power Company
Will Soon Move Its Plant 10 the Jordan River
About Consumers

Manager Campbell of the Utah Light
& Power company remarked this morn
ing that the company was shortly to
centralize Its steam plant In all prob
ability on the Jordan river and even
there II would be used only In emer-
gency cases, as the plant OF the COM
pany win be operted as far as possible
by water. II was thought the steam
plant might be centralized on the site Of
the old gas works, but Mr. Campbell con-
sidered that In few years that part
of the town would likely be as thickly
settled as the parts to the east Of It.,
so the best thing to do would be TO go
as far west as possible, and locate on
the river.
This move will do away with the
smoke nuisance which has been so
much complained Of. and the move
would have been made earlier could the
machinery ordered last winter have
been secured earlier. But the manu-
facturers have taken their time In fill
Ing their order, and II has been q good
long time; and In the meantime the
company did not feel warranted In put
ting In costly smoke consuming APP
pliances-applances which heretofore
were not regarded as certain, in the
present steam plants which are SO soon
to be closed up. Moreover, Mr.. Camp
bell says that he Is waiting to see how
the Y. c. NJ. |, people come out wi h
their automatic stoker which II Is
claimed does away with the smoke
nuisance completely as 1t provides for
consumption OF all of the coal, and OBJ
viates all smoking. II the z. c. NJ. /.
is satisfied with the stoker, the Utah
Light a. Power company win adopt IL.
Mr.. Campbell states that there is
growing and very heavy draft on the
company's plant. largely because OF the
rapidly Increasing demands for power
from the street railway company, and,
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1902-09-05

moreover, the water supply has been
decreasing and becoming uncertain.
Only this very morning II was learned
that the pipe line In Ogden canyon had
broken, necessltating cutting of 500
horsepower from that source until the
break can be repaired This has made
!, necessary to use more power than
usual from the city steam plant. But
Just as soon as the new steam plant can
be placed, all the local smoke trouble
VIII be done away with. SO Mr.. Camp
bell THINKS Mr.. Daveler rather prems-
ture In donning his war paint aud
starting on the trail Of the power COM
pany. He would like 10 call attention
to the fact that the citys plant that
furnished steam for the Joint building
has been notable offender In the past,
and while the councilman has his TOM
ahawk out he might as we'll take In
the citys plant.
The z. c. NJ. /. people. too. see no lust
cause for Mr.. Daveler's fandango, as
Chief Engineer Bywater has been ex-
perimenting and studying the matter
OF abating the smoke nuisance for over
a year. Mr.. Bywater said this morn
Ing, as he showed a stack of descrip-
tive pamphlets Of smoke consuming de-
vices, that he had given them all care
ful consideration, and believed he had
finally found Just what he wanted In
the automatic stoker. This device pro-
vides for feeding the fire from below.
Instead OF above. the coal being fed In
by a steel worm so that there is no
green coal whatever on the top - the
fire to make a great smoke; and by the
time the coal reaches the Top OF the fffeN
where the flame ls, the consumption Is
practically perfect, and no unconsumed
gases are thrown out as all have been
burned up and the extra heat utilized.
The adoption Of this device will shortly
do away with the column OF smoke that
has been wont to roll out OF the z. c.
NJ. l. stack. So altogether II looks as
though the smoke problem might be
sh0rtlv solved
