It is proposed that one set Of engines
supply the power needed in the white

ing, the treasury, the new municipal
building, the city and general post Of
flee, the new hall of records, the de-
partment Of justice and other build
1ngs as they are authorized" and built.
Then it is proposed to utilize the ex-
haust steam from these engines for
the heating Of the buildings during the
winter season. It is possible that this
idea may be put into operation in a
limited way with the present arrange
ments. At the capitol, for instance,
the exhaust steam from the engines is
now turned into the sewers and new
coal has to be used to make steam suf-
ficient to heat the big building. If
the waste steam from the engines that
run the dynamos could be turned into
the heating apparatus at the capitol
it is estimated that a tremendous saw
ing would be made Huge condensing
engines at a central station, it is
urged, could use water over and over
again and furnish steam enough to
heat large number Of buildings.
Prof. Woodbridge will probably
make a report on this subject at the
next session of congress when an ap-
preparation will be asked to put it into
effect. The plan of heating separate
buildings from a central plant is not
new one, as many towns and cities
have it in operation. - . J.
