CITIES WITHOUT DIRT OR NOISE.
Possibilities With the Advent Of Great
Central Power Stations.

That the cities of the future will be
without SCOT, smoke, noise and confu.
sion is the forecast of S. Morgan Bush.
NELL prominent electrical engineer,
in the Technical World Magazine.
LAS one by one" says Mr.. Bushnell,
1--WE see the old steam plants in our
large buildings discarded, we begin
to approach the realization Of the ideal
electric city. The tourist, when stop
ping in the city of Niagara Falls. not.
withstanding the immense manufac.
turing industries which have grown
up there within the last few years,
will see almost no chimneys deliver
ing their smoky contribution to the
otherwise clear atmosphere. Here
every steam plant has been shut down.
with the exception of one or two small
plants, in which it is necessary to use
steam In the treatment of wood pulp
for the manufacture OF paper. In
these mills the power processes are
performed either by the direct agency
of water power or by electric power
through the agency Of motors.
THE visitor to some of the model
factories recently built will wonder
how Ii has become possible to pre-.
serve the absolute cleanliness that Is
found on every floor and in every de.
partment He will find that small
electric motors have displaced the old
systems Of shafting and belts, with
their connections from floor to floor,
their rasping noise and vibration, and
their accompanying rust and dirt. The
result is the ideal workshop. Electri-
city gives the NEST perfect lighting,
the most perfect source of power and
the most easil manipulated form Of
heating, whether in the factory, the
Office or the home"
