ELECTRIC POWER
TO Be ENORMOUS
COMPANY IN CALIFORNIA WILL
DEVELOP OVER $4,000
HORSEPOWER.

WASHINGTON, oct. Secretary
Houston has just granted a permit TO
the Southern California Edison COM
pany for the development OF addition
al electric power on the Kern nation
al forest to supply Los Angeles, Pasa-
Jena and neighboring towns.
This company operates seven hydro
electric plants. one Of which is on the
Kern and five others on the Angeles
national forest. The six plants on
the national forests are capable Of de-
veloping $1,000 horse power al
though there is not sufficient power
in the streams to develop such an am
cunt OF power continuously. The
company has installed, therefore. a
number Of auxiliary steam plants,
which have a total capacity Of about
$4,000 horse power.
While it might be supposed that,
with such an amount Of power at the
company's command there would be
little need Of an additional supply, es-
pecially with other companies operat-
ing the same territory, the Edison
ago that it would eventually need
more power in order to supply its
market. The four water power sites
which seemed TO be the mos valuable
for development are on the Kern for
est, so application for power permit
was made through the forest service
in order that the company might de-
eli 2 {.
for this development which was grant
ed by the secretary Of agriculture.
The four projects mentioned in the
permit are designated by the company
as Kern River plants 2, 8, and >
1t is expected that plant No. will be
the first to be put into operation, with
4, and following in the order
given as the demands of the market
increase. II is stated by the company
that expensice dams will not be need
ed. but that the construction of some
Of the conduits will be difficult and
will require considerable amount of
time. because of this. and also be-
cause Of the large investment re-
quired and the large amount of power
that is involved in the development,
the department of agriculture allows
a period OF almost 12 years before
the plants will have to be in com
plete operation.
According to the estimates of the
{ governments engineers the four new
/ projects of the company will be able
to supply almost $4,000 horse power
/ except for a few days in a period OF
/ five years Through the use Of its
steam auxiliary plants. however. the
company will be able to obtain con.
sideGably more than that amount and
/ il is planned To install machinery
I which will have a total capacity o.
more than 10000 horse power Thi!
will be transmitted at high tension b!
means of poles and steel towers owe,
q maximum distance Of about 15i
miles from the plants to the city o
Los Angeles.
