the coal they burn. This represents an
annual Wastage of something like 325
million dollars.
We waste through non-use annually
30 million horsepower which our water
power could furnish. At the moderate
assumed cost of $50 an indicated horse
power year. which is considerably
below the average price, this waste
amounts to 600 million dollars. If this
water power were used our coal could
be conserved for future uses or en-
