LESS WATER Is
BEING CONSUMED
Slow Down of Steel Plant
Operations Decreases
Demand

With the slow down of operations
- the local steel plant to the pre-
war schedule, less water is being
consumed from the borough's sup
ply, a water department official said
this morning.
This official declared that the
steel plant is using about one-third
of the amount consumed during the
war. He said that during the un-
precedented rush at the plant it was
necessary to use water without any
attention to conservation and for
that reason the borough pumping
station was running to its capacity
and for time was overtaXed.
This demand for water together
with supplying Harrisburg water
during a shortage in the city some
time ago worked the pumping station
% it's capacity and for a time the
-alation of additional filters was
dcred to relieve the conditions.
ne consumption diminishing to
t extent these additions to the
mt equipment are not necessary,
..c department official said.
The department officials are haV-
ing considerable trouble this year
with frozen meters. due largely, an
official said, to the carelessness of
residents. Consumers. by letting
cellar windows open, are responsible
for their own trouble and officials
ask property owners to see that
meters are properly taken care of
therefore overcoming much of the
trouble for the department.

RAILROAD NEWS
Railroad Electrifcation
Is Next Official Move

Washington, Dec. 2s.-Electrifica-
ton of steam railroads, forced by
the search for cheap power, was pre-
dicted yesterday by Robert n. Wool
ley, of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. as the next step that
must be taken in the transportation
world. ~.
Mr.. Woolley in an interview said
that this could be done by convert
ing bituminous coal into coke at the
pit heads of the mines and the use
of the coke as fuel in gigantic cleo
trical stations. He continued:
The two great articles of fuel
coal and petroleum-would be con-
served. The transportation of coal
for power purposes would be prac-
tieally eliminated, This is more
than half the coal now being car
ried by railroads. The effect would
be to relieve congestion on the rail-
roads and greatly increase their ia
cilties. thing which railroad men
must be done if industry is not to
suffer. Railroads would no longer
have to move coal for their own pur-
pose.
"Electrfication is the cheapest
and most practical method of pro-
ducing an increase in traffic capacity.
This could be accomplished by ad-
ditional tracks or by the elimination
or reduction of grades, but the en-
tire cost of electritication, includ-
ing power stations and transporta-
tion lines, is less than the cost OF
either"
